[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Hindu but I want to speak in defense of any Muslims who are offended by Mohammed being depicted in art. The reason it's offensive is because he's not being depicted in art respectfully, as the prophet he was.

It's like how furious I get when ignorant European fashion houses and retail labels in the US like Urban Outfitters think it's super cool to put an image of Ganesha - the Hindu deity of luck and remover of obstacles - on the soles of flip flops or on bags. First of all, putting a Hindu deity [i]under someone's feet[/i] is INSANELY disrespectful, and second, the holy figure is meant to depicted [i]as a holy figure[/i] in art - not as scenery!

And that's part of what I hate about the Mohammed cartoonists and anyone else who portrays Mohammed in art without reference to his role in life.

While we're on this track, I also couldn't keep watching South Park when they kept making fun of Jesus and turning him into some stoner character. It infuriated me, it was so disrespectful.[/quote]

+1000000 lol Thank you!! I don't understand how people don't get this...yes one has a right to be an asshole, but that doesn't mean they should be an asshole! There are images of Prophet Muhammad that have been around for a while but they've always been in a respectful way (in artwork and illustrations in books), not with a bomb on his head or any of the other ridiculous stuff out there these days. But they have a right to make a statement, I guess it doesn't matter to them if they look like intolerant idiots  :roll: [/quote]
