In fact images exist in countries like Iran.<BR/><BR/>But of course there is a difference between images and making fun of something holy to the Muslims.<BR/><BR/>Outside Shia Muslim areas there probably is a tradition or a fatwa against pictures or statues of the Mohammed.<BR/><BR/>In the West we do not make many pictures of God either. (I never saw one of the Holy Spirit though). But we do have many of Jesus like the Virgin Mary and the saints.<BR/><BR/>It could both be cultural and related to an interpretation of the Quran.<BR/><BR/>The biggest hope in this conflict are the Moderate Muslims. They are also pontentially the biggest loosers. I find it strange there are so few though. Maybe they are scared of speaking against the Imams. Just like people were scared of speaking against the church in the Western World not too long ago. In Denmark now a group of Muslims have created the Moderate Muslims of Denmark. An organisation for dialogue and which believes in democracy. They have specifically stated that the Imams do not speak on their behalf. <BR/><BR/>The Egyptian Sand Monkey and others are refreshing voices in the blogospere. I have big hopes for them.<BR/><BR/>But sincerely. I do not think we can avoid a serious conflict with radical Muslims.von Schlichtningenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836637221322397027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139543050345595272006-02-10T03:44:00.000+00:002006-02-10T03:44:00.000+00:00And even without reading the Quran, just the fact ...And even without reading the Quran, just the fact that hardly any Muslim speak against those practices is in itself enough.<BR/><BR/>Show me the last demonstration in the West gleeing about thousands of Muslim dead innocents including women and children in actions of terror. Show me placards at those demonstrations asking to maim, exterminate, behead and otherwise kill opponents.<BR/><BR/>Pastorious. yes, Yes and YES. We agree entirely with you. The hipocrocy is absurd and incongruous. Only the the blind by choice can not see it. It must be blindness based on fear and/or stupidity.von Schlichtningenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836637221322397027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139530499825965752006-02-10T00:14:00.000+00:002006-02-10T00:14:00.000+00:00Atheist,Islam is used to justify those practices, ...Atheist,<BR/>Islam is used to justify those practices, and you know that damn well.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139528419780588012006-02-09T23:40:00.000+00:002006-02-09T23:40:00.000+00:00Conde is gonna get nasty.I couldn't help myself.Conde is gonna get nasty.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't help myself.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1139528348881239232006-02-09T23:39:00.000+00:002006-02-09T23:39:00.000+00:00I`m a blue-collar working man(logger) with not muc...I`m a blue-collar working man(logger) with not much work, but just ordered $200 Danish goods.
