[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the Quran require non-Muslims to not mock Mohammed or does it only prohibit Mulims?

No, there is nothing in the Qur'an about mocking Muhammad (for Muslims or non-Muslims).  It is the Hadith that talks about that and has the stories of the people that were killed for mocking Muhammad and Islam (including a mother while she was nursing her infant).[/quote]

Can you say a bit more about the Hadith? Do all Muslims accept the entire body of work or does it differ?[/quote]

The Hadith are the collection of the sayings of the Prophet (PBUH). They were thought to have been collected with painstaking care. There is even one story of a man who traveled thousands of miles to hear the Hadith from someone who claimed he knew one. But that man who made the claim was seen beating an animal and that Hadith was rejected as having an unreliable source. Still there are Hadith that are collected from people who were known to be in conflict with the Prophet's wife Aisha (PBUT). So I don't know how reliable they are. Some are called "sahih" for being the most solid and reliable, but even these are subject to human bias and flaws. They are not protected by God the way that the Quran is. They are not the word of God. Most people feel the Hadith provide details where the Quran is more general/vague. Most people question any Hadith that contradicts the Quran. [b]Some people ignore them all together[/b].[/quote]

A Muslim can't just ignore them all together.  If so, they whould not know how to pray.  The Qur'an does not give the instructions for prayer.[/quote]

True. But some people who consider themselves Muslim do not accept the Hadith as a basis for their religion.[/quote]
