Reshoot the lion
Can they claim that you are being unreasonable because you publish cartoons blaspheming their prophet knowing that aspects of their belief compel them to oppose people who do such things. Would you blame a lion for mauling you if you hopped into its pen?
Is the whole world then a lion pit and must we all be wary of the Islamic lion?
Sharia anyone?

Re: being human
Depends on how you view the rest of the world. Islam might see itself as lion and us as a Grizzly bear. A cursory reading of history would seem to indicate they might have reason to
Just wanted to be human.

the rule
Honestly, there is no difference between the cartoons in this case and the kinds of imagery antijewish media created in nazi germany regarding jews. The intent was to mock a religion and the people belonging to it.
You automatically lose by invoking the nazis.

Islam a race?
jihadwatch is basically the Answers in Genesis of the Mid-East political debate.
Could you provide me with the links that prove anything said on those sites are wrong?
Right off the bat, the site makes it clear that its intention is to goad xenophobic racism rather than explore that issues in a factual manner.
When did Islam become a race? Thought it was a religion.

Re: no sterotype
Look I'm not against the publication of these cartoons, I am simply pointing out that they would offend many people and were intended to offend, or amuse those that enjoy mocking people based on ignorant stereotyping.
What ignorant stereotype do you see?

cartoons
That jews are hooknosed, ratlike hermits who spend their time screwing people over for money and obscure religious fanaticism.
Quess we were not looking at the same cartoons.
Or is your point that you are just opposed to these kind of cartoons?
If that's the case then why don't oppose the Islamic press that is full of just such caricatures.
In Turkey the top rated movie portrays American soldiers as cold-blooded killers who the sell the bodies to a Jewish doctor for organ harvest.
Outraged?

research
No; if you are sufficiently interested in studying the issues then you can do the research yourself.
I've done the research( Qu'ran, Hadiths, joined Islamic forums), just wanted to see if you had.
