In reply to the discussion: Has anyone published a cartoon with an image of Mohammed in response to the attack? [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)This was proscribed by Mohammad himself because he didn't want followers worshiping "idols" of him.
Other than that, what is pictures of Mohammad intended to do? Respectful or not they're still going to be taken as insults by the perverted beliefs of extremist terrorists. Mohammad is a prophet, and Muslims don't do anything in his name but in Allah's name. There is no such thing to extremist terrorists of "respectful" images of Mohammad or the notion that they do anything in Mohammad's name. This isn't modern Christianity where Jesus is far more deified than God.
For heaven's sake, why would you even WANT any pictures that are more "respectful" to such cretins anyway?
The only response to these nuts is unequivocal disgust and condemnation, and we don't need any cartoons for that just as we never needed them in response to any other terrorist attack. France knew all three of these goons were recruiting terrorists and trained in Yemen, and let them WALK from their crimes waiving or vastly reducing their sentences, ignoring what they were doing while free and enabling them to carry out these atrocities. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure, and if anyone is responsible other than the terrorists themselves it's France's grossly negligent criminal justice system that let these fucks out on the street knowing what they were and what they would likely do even after finding them GUILTY. They wouldn't have been ABLE to do these horrific acts in the first place if France hadn't found them guilty of terrorist intent yet set them free and ignored them.
