Reportedly,a Danish news paper published some obnoxious caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.Well,I dont know how Muhmmad was portrayed in the cartoons but it seems Muslims are actually against the thought of portraying their Prophet Muhammad in newspapers/magazines.All this stuff is not a point of interest to me.But I wonder about what followed the Danish incident.Many European news papapers had published the cartoons in the name of 'Freedom of Expression'.I cant understand whether their stand of freedom of expression is legitimate.
Challenging the argument, leading Iranian daily Hamshahri has invited foreigners to participate in a cartoon competition on the Holocaust . "Does the West extend freedom of expression to the crimes committed by the United States and Israel, or an event such as the Holocaust? Or is its freedom only for insulting religious sanctities?" asked the daily.
Doesnt it make sense?The western countries always speak of ideals and freedom to just support their view.What about American stand towards local news channels in Iraq and Arab countries?

I just recently put a post on my blog pointing out the contradiction the leading newspaper Hamshahri is making against its own President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Iranian President Ahmadinejad last week said, “The Holocaust is a "myth" that was created by Western powers to justify the creation of Israel in the heart of the Islamic world.” So, if the Holocaust is only a “myth”, I do not think it would be offensive to the Jewish population, or any type of effective retribution.
anyways the god in me n the god in you is not based on a cartoon. may be whoever whoz going after the issue should address significant matters within their own religion/society first. anyways in a practical way, we should respect while handling other religions. and islam is kind of sensitive/conservative religion.. hope everything will settle down for the benefit of all.
@roxy,yeah,i agree wid u.but as it is,practically these kind of issues r very sensitive n can cause unneccessary damages.as i guess,the chaos shud b ended by the week.
