Who's watching your religion???
A BBC article reported on the hysteria going on over the political cartoons and the representation of the Prophet Muhammad.
In Chirstianity, G*d implores us to "remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy".
Literally giving each and everyone of us the power to Make a Day into a Holy thing.
As far as I know, Muhammad, like Jesus, never declaired himself G*d.
The BBC went on to say that no where in the Kuran, the Holy Book of Islam, does it say that it is forbidden to create an image of the Prophet.
It is by Tradition and Interpretation that this "unbreakable rule" has been adopted.
This image is Not the Prophet.
Just as the image of a pipe is not a pipe, but only ink on paper.
Let's not confuse the two...
There were also 11 other images created for this Danish newspaper.
Most of them were very respectful and reverent.
A couple of them were not.
These were commisioned by asking the artists to share what was their image of Muhammad.
One image was picked out of a group and is being used as an excuse to kill and destroy.
This is not Islam.
Those who protest the cartoon, (come on folks, it's ONE freaking Political CARTOON) are giving their power over to some guy in another country who didn't think twice about it after he collected his check.

There is something DEEPER going on here. Something between the way the West sees the Middle East. And the way the Middle east sees us...
And it's the noisest, not the majority, who get the most press...

In the same way.
The Bible, neither the Jewish Bible (known by Christians as the "Old" testement, but known by Jesus as the "Word of G*d") nor the Christian, mentions that Sex before or outside of Marrage is wrong. (Only sex with someone's spouse not your own.)
The same Traditions that are effect Islam also taint Christianity.
And people have died over that too...
