    sister, i think we do have this reality as in terrorists prayin with us at the same mosque. I think what the artist tried to show out is that terrorists use islam as a title to kill others, yet its against it, as in the opposit possition taken by that gunman. I think muslims suffer terror more than any others, as 4 a blast drives 70 muslims dead, & injurs 1 nonmuslim.

  6. logical thinking "wacko" |

    “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way.” (9:5) “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his Prophet and strive to make mischief in the land and is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world…” (5:33) The Koran, unambiguously agreeing with the actions of Islamic radicals, firmly shows that the true Islamic detractor is the peaceful Muslim.

    Advocates of Islam attempt to refute this militancy by saying that we have taken these verses out of historical and cultural context and try to convince us of the purported “peaceful” teachings of the Koran. Like Karen Armstrong, a columnist for the Times, they inaccurately argue that since Muhammad lived in a violent culture, the so-called violence of the Koran merely shared in the common sentiments of the day. (Armstrong) Philosopher and thinker George Grant describes this apology as “fraught with false assumptions.” A peaceful commercial hub of North Africa, Mecca, at the time of Muhammad had not participated in wars for many years. Violence was finally spawned when he made clear his pitiless plan for purifying Mecca of the Kafir, the infidel. (Grant)

    To the “Jamal” who commented on these cartoons.
    Ur acting like the cartoons are serious but they’re not. i dont think these types of cartoons are the types with “hidden meaning” and have stories behind.. if you know wot i mean..

    People could take this to offence so its not nice.
    Wot do you get from these anyway they are not exactly funny
    1. muslims are NOT terrorists.
    2. yes, many terrorist claim to do it all in the name of Allah.. but killing innocent people is totally against islam. A loving God would never give the power to anyone to kill innocent people. So if you see bearded arab men reading the Quran in some hidden location in the dessert think again.
    3. If all muslims believed the same thing TERRORISM would happen everyday wouldn’t it.

    4. its not nice to mock someone elses religion so when you say: “you can make fun of my religion any time” obviously u dont have a religion so wot the hell are you tlkin about.
    Sick minded people make fun of TERRORISM - its a serious thing, where thousands are killed, its not something we should make fun of.

    By sharifa - yes, a MUSLIM girl.
