I've seen them. They're all over the web. Some of them are completely neutral. One is even complimentary. That's not the point. The point is that Islam forbids ANY images of Mohammed.

Not the best quality, but you can pretty much tell what they're trying to depict.

Some of those are really stupid. It doesn't take much to piss off young fundamentalist Pakistani students, obviously.
Just wait until someone writes a Naked Lunch-style erotica between Mohammed and Jesus, as they go around the world trying to pick up young guys and resolve their unrelinquished love for each other...

I wasnt aware of that. So you can have a complimentary cartoon and they will still want to kill you over it.
I understand now. I think.

The over-reaction of the islam leaders, shortly after the election of the Hamas in Palestine and the dispute over atomic material with Iran really produce a reaction that can be summed up as "now, somehow this really goes to far" in me and many other people in Europe, I think. I guess a growing polarization between east and west is almost inevitable now.
Over-reaction from which leaders? The Hamas leaders response was pretty rational.

Mahmoud Zahar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, visited a group of Christian nuns and clerics yesterday at the Holy Family School to reassure them after the Latin Church, a small congregation based in Jerusalem, had also received threats. He unequivocally condemned the threats against foreign nationals. " We are not accepting any aggression against foreign institutions whether EU or American, or against any other group, foreign or Palestinian," Dr Zahar said. He said some Palestinians had already boycotted Danish goods and Hamas wanted them to continue protesting by "legal means".
He told the Christian group "you are our brothers who live side by side with us along with the foreigners who come to serve this community". He said that Hamas's armed wing would offer protection for the Christians until such time as an incoming Hamas government could reform the security services and provide official security.

I must say I'm impressed with how Hamas has carried itself since the elections.

Hamas would be fucked if they attacked Israel now. They are the majority holder of power in the Palestinian government and if they were to attack...Israel would invade. They are no longer an "underground" organization with little legitimacy.

A video was released today that shows the cartoonists of the controversial cartoon threatened with their lives. The faces of the cartoonists are covered by sniper targets, also the video orders Muslims to continue boycotting Danish products. The video originates from a forum that is often used by known terror groups.

Great pic right there. Well done. They may have mastered MS Word, but they ain't used After Effects yet.

Well, in my opinion, their verbal oath to protect Christian churches is a great sign of good faith, especially coming from Hamas.

I really do think they want to eventually be legitimate so they can be the party that gets to represents an actual Palestinian state.

Comedy Central has been advertising a Moses vs. Muhammed video game on their website for weeks now.
Have there been any muslim riots like this in North America? I want to throw ham at people.
