Muslims have a rule that bans painting any picture of Islam holy men and a caricature of Islam prophet surely brings anger to Muslims so the question is why a danish newspaper has published such a debatable thing.\nI think at the moment we need peace not fights.

It's relatively modern (20th century onward) and based more on politics than religion per se.  Ironically, there is more similarity between Judaism and Islam that Judaism and Christianity.  Neither Judaism nor Islam beleive in a trinity, for example.\n\nThe person here who said that nobody warred against Jews during the Crusades is wrong -- the Crusaders killed thousands of Jews in the name of Jesus Christ before moving on to invade the Muslim lands.  In the Jewish cultural memory, the Crusaders are remembered as a bunch of barbarians who did such things as smash the heads of Jewish babies against stone walls, cut open pregnant women and sew live cats inside them, toss babies up in the air to catch them on their swords, etc.   So horrid was the treatment of European Jews by the Crusaders that whole families chose to commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the "Good Christians."   (You will find references to these events in any good book on Medieval Jewish history.)\n\nThe Muslims of that time, on the other hand, treated Jews very well.  Under Muslim rule in Spain, there was a golden era of science, art, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, etc.  in which Jews and others fully participated.  The Muslims of that era were the "progressives," founding, among other things, the first modern universities.   There was also a certian amount of sharing among mystical groups, which is why there are similarities between kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and Sufisim (Muslim mysticism.)  \n\nBut all this ended when Ferdinand and Isabella conquered Spain and expelled all the Jews and Muslims from that country in 1492, the instituted the Spanish Inquisition under Torquemada (who was Isabella's Father Confessor) to ferret out secret Jews and Muslims under torture.   A high percentage of the "heretics" killed by the Inquisition were Jews who were forced to convert to Catholicism but who secretly practiced Judaism.  \n\nAfter the Expusion, The Sultan of Turkey, Bayazid II, opened the doors of his country to take them in.  He is reported to have called Ferdinand a foolish king because "He impoverishes his own country while enriching his enemies!"  (Hitler, BTW, did the same thing when he expelled the Jews.  Because of Nazi antisemitismn, the Allied nations got many top scientists, etc.  who happened to be Jewish.)  \n\nTo this day, Turkish Jews of Spanish descent (called Sephardim) speak a language called Ladino or Judeo-Spanish.   From Turkey, the Sepharigrated to the Balkan countries and also to North Africa (Morocco, Iraq, etc.)   BTW, the first synagogues in the USA were also Sephardic -- built by Spanish Jews fleeing the Inquisition, which was still burning people at the stake in the 1700s.\n\nThe animosity we see today between Jews and Muslims centers around the State of Israel and whether or not it has the right to exist.  During the Cold War, this was inflamed by both sides -- with the USA supporting Israel and the USSR supporting the Palestinians, and both superpowers arming both sides.   (Premier Khruschev was reported to have said that Israel was the "sore toe" he could stomp on whever he wanted to put pressur eon the United States.)   Unfortunately, even after the Cold War ended in 1989, the animosity has continued.  However, recent polls show that on both sides, people are tired of war and if the extremists would stop fanning the flames of hatred, we could have peace in the Middle East.

Ken Livingstone tried peddling this garbage the other day, saying Britain was treating Muslims like Germany treated Jews in the 1930s. PLEASE! Did German Jews blow up buses? No. Have Jews in this country made an effort to integrate? Yes, and they have had an impact on this country far greater than their small number would suggest possible. Jews in Europe and Britain were not seeking to subvert western culture, while an increasing number of Muslims hope to see their religion rule us all. There was no reason to fear Jews, who owe their success to industry and energy. There is good reason to fear the increase of an aggressive, alien minority seeking to subvert our values and who don't respect civil laws.

When the artist Andres Serrano displayed "Piss Christ" (which depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine) Christian's around the world didn't rise up and riot in the streets. They didn't kill anyone or call for the burning of embassies. The world didn't demand an apology from the artist....on the contrary, it was herald and given awards. Freedom of Speech groups rallied around and defended the piece.\n\nWhy are those groups not rising up now? The world is calling for an apology and it's simply ridiculous. I think that US News outlets should run the cartoons. Offensive or not, it's news.\n\nTo apologize and bow down to every little thing that irritates Muslims and terrorists alike is letting terrorism win. Don't get me wrong, I know that not all Muslims have a desire to "kill infidels." However, rioting in the streets, burning embassies and killing Europeans in the Middle East doesn't send a very good message to the rest of the world that they are a "religion of peace."

For the last damn time. These are MEN that are writing this crap and butchering Islam. The same thing they did to the Bible. I have Muslim family members and was raised as a Muslim. I do not practice now, but I cannot say that I am not  a Muslim anymore, because once a Muslim always a Muslim in my book. You cannot take back shahadah(surrender to Allah) \n\nThose idiots who are bombing and so forth are just hiding behind Islam to justify what they do. No where does Islamic belief state that you go to heaven for killing yourself and others because of jihad(struggle) These people are not martyrs.

That this case is old does not solve the problem. There is no legitimacy for Israel identity in Islam world. They are completely new nation. Even they don't have certain race. One from Russia other from Iran other from England etc. Isn't it funny? These people have answered above are trying to say that to oppose each other is not a good idea. That maybe right and I am agree more or less. But the reality doesn't change. The reality is that there were Jews in England and they were almost reach, supported by England government and start campaign for Zionism. The Israel is a racist country too. Look at Arabs and Daroozis inside Israel. How they are behaved. They kill daily a few Palestinians and they killed their leaders like Ahmad and Rentisi. In Islamic world opinion there is no reason for "defending" Israel at all. They were cruel not Palestinians. They have occupied a soil, not Palestinians.

It offended me how the Muslims followed up with a cartoon of Ann Frank in bed with Hitler. For goodness sake she was a little girl who died in a concentration camp.\n\nI think the're acting like school kids - "well you stole my juice, so I'm going to steal your cookie." Not worth all those people dying for is it?

I cant agree more with you.You are so right,i dont think any muslim or jew can hate each other forget about killing,i've studied almost all the religion quite vividly and have understood that none encourages killing of innocent people or any people unless you have to defend your family or religion(say mosques,synagogues,temples etc holy places)To me hate is contigeous,no matter who you are if you have hate for something particular you'll see that at the end you'll be hating almost everything that you have around you and maybe you'll start hating yourself too.Hate is a big word..one might not like something with all his heart but he/she shouldnt hate it.Patience i believe is the best way to deal with stuff like this.Just because i've a jewish name or a muslim name doesnt make me a jew or a muslim....he/she is a jew or a muslim is someone who obeys everything in the religion or atleast tries to and completely avoid wut is forgiven.None of the religions in the world say that hate other religion,it's the lack of knowledge about their religion that they have grown into such beasts that they use their name of their religion to get benefit out of it.I'm a Muslim and i dont hate any jews or any christians or any human being.I practise Islam as a way of my life,not just as a religion and Alhamdulillah i try to enforce Islam in my life in every way i can.I dont feel any hatred towards anyone?why is that,is it because i am not a good muslim?I dont think so....i know a lot of people who r like me and thinks like me too.To me most of these killings r for political reasons and trying to gain benefits for some very few powerful individuals who influences these poor jews and muslims all around the world to pursue something they want to achieve in any way they can.Wa'salaam.May Allah bless you all.And Allah(God) knows best.

Yes.  There are a few of them, and you can find them listed here, along with an analysis of the controversy:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons

muslims have always treated jews as second class citizens when jews were permitted to live in muslim countries (now days you simply find remnants, if any jews at all in muslim countries) It is a real true, and seldom mentioned FACT that 900,000 jews were kicked out from arab/muslim countries in 48 and there-after and made "refugess" who were then taken in by israel. It is unfortunate that the 1.2 billion muslims and 57 nations are simply to intollerant to let jews live in the land that belonged to jews since before islam ever exsisted. Then again islam is attacking christians, hindus, buddhists and even other muslims... so this is not unexpected...\nSince 99.9% of all jews belive in the state of israel thus making them "zionists", the word "zionist" becomes a convienent substitution for the word jew. But the reality remains the same.

For the entire period, now 2,006 years of Christianity's existence, Christians have been criticizing my Judaism! Embedded in the Christians' New Testament there are derogatory statements about my fellow Jews and about Judaism, stereotyping us, labeling us, calling us everything from being Blind to being Hypocrites. So, yes, someone outside of Judaism can criticize us and they still do, as witnessed by the writings of many here on answers.yahoo.com, Christian and Muslim alike!!

It goes back to the beginnings of Islam.  Jews living on the Arabian penisula helped Muhammed initially, and when they refused to convert to Islam, Muhammed had a hissy-fit and slaughtered the lot of them.  since then, Islam has preached that Jews are sub-human and worthy only of death.
