There is a lot of brouhaha in the news today about a cartoon that was published in some of the newspapers around Denmark a few months ago. It’s the publication of caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. This is what the Palestinian and many Islamic people are protesting about lately. This protest is hurting the Danish export business by having a boycott on all Danish products in the Islamic states. The issue was made worse by a basic misunderstanding on the part of the protesters. Arab nations demanded an apology from the Danish government and also asked Copenhagen to punish the authors of the drawings. However, neither act is possible for a western democracy. I’m a true believer in reporting the news as accurately as possible and that should never be censored. But when when your making fun of somebody even in good humor you should back off if your upsetting the people your making fun of. Because now they are being insulted and this is how many fights began. I personally believe that they are over reacting and behaving very immature. However we must be mature about this and more responsible and have a little sensitivity. Insults are not necessary. On the other hand Islam must lighten up a bit. Its just a cartoon. There are far more important issues to focus on. And Denmark should grow up and stop insulting and antagonizing its world neighbors. It dose not accomplish anything.
By the way,I have not seen these cartoons for myself and would surly like to. If you know where I could see them I would be grateful. Please send links or attachments to ronnie@rinkadinkproductions.com

They shouldn't have published pictures like that.
In Islam we're not even allowed to draw pictures of the Prophet peace be upon him.
We dont draw pictures of Jesus or Moses, we respect all the prophets.
We love our prophet peace be upon him.
