Toon Controversy

The publication of the Cartoons showing the Prophet Muhammad is in poor light, a deliberate attempt to further create divisions in the world. I don’t understand how and why any one would do that, especially at a time when the world is already facing a crisis of sorts. The so called intellectuals should know what kind of reactions their actions are going to generate. Protests leading to loss of property and death of people was it really called for.

Making fun of some one so revered by people all over the world is so disgusting. Without getting into the good and bad of religion, I don’t think any one has right to poke fun at another’s religious belief what ever it may be. How can the so called civilized people be so insensitive is something to ponder about. Not so long ago they were selling undergarments with pictures of Hindu Gods printed on them. Using pictures of Hindu Goddess to sell beer, where are we going.

Then people defend it in the name of freedom of speech, should freedom of speech and expression be absolute. Does my freedom of speech give me permission to abuse some one. Not only the publication in Danish papers but subsequent republications after seeing the kind of hysteria it has generated is plain mischief and nothing more. Then u have tht clown Bush coming in support. We all know how much of freedom exists in USA, almost every phone call is put under the scanner, we all have heard about the spying missions of CIA.

Showing the Prophet as a terrorist, there by implying that the whole community is terrorist, which is far from the truth. And who decides whoz a terrorist and whoz not, are there any parameters. If the World Trade Center, the London and Madrid bombings are terrorists acts then the massacres in Afghanistan and Iraq are much bigger terror acts. Just like all those innocent people killed in New York, London and Madrid deserve sympathy so do people who have and are been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Would never understand why there is so much hypocrisy in the world, why the people so shackled that they don’t raise there voices against such nuisances, have we all lost our self respect or we just too engrossed in our own world to bother about anything else. I feel it’s the responsibility of every individual to raise his voice when he comes across any injustice, any wrong, its time people looked beyond His…. Mine and Yours. Its our World its our responsibility to save it otherwise one day it will just fall apart, divided and bleeding.
