Offensive Cartoon

These kind of incidents are a delibrate attempt to provoke muslims to react with violance with an ulterior motive to brand Islam as a religion of violance and Muslims as terrorists. By attacking embassies and carrying out violent demonstration, we have re-inforced the wrong image of Islam.

You could say that the bombings in London last year were among other things, a deliberate attempt to provoke the general British population to react with violence against British Muslims. Apart from a very few exceptions, a violent backlash simply didn't happen. I know many Muslims take great joy in demonizing the "ungodly" west, but there are obviously quite a few Muslims around the world who could benefit from emulating our stoicism and restraint in the face of provocation.

I guess this proves we are all human and therefore imperfect.

Ah, but not the general population.......Just a small minority from the soccer supporting classes.  ;---)

You may have a point though...Perhaps the embassy burning classes in Muslim countries are in reality, out of season soccer fans....  ;---)

Its not just the new muslims. Its only the Western new "Muslims" who don't feel the anger as much as we do. They evaluate Islam from Western perspective while the Western perspective itself is not appropriate to correctly understand Islam.
