what was the reason for making the cartoons of prophet mohammad (p.b.u.h)?

From what I've read there is a book about Islam and author wanted to have some images in it but no one will accept to paint.\nThe newspaper held some kind of competition about who dares to draw a caricature of Mohammad and paublished the result.\nIt seems that they have heard somethings about the Islamic rules around drawing Mohammad pics.

They dont respect the Islamic values. \nDont u get angry when someone draw your mom with the body of a pig? \nImagine someone draw their prophet with a pig body.\nWhat's the purpose? It doesnt make any sense unless negative movement.

Its matter of respect thats all....\n\nAs the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h asked us to beleive and reaspct all others religions and thier prophets ... \n\nislam asked us to not be funny at any religion or their prophets so how about our prophet .\n\nso whom did thes funny cartoon ..they didnt show respect for about 1 billion and half muslim...even they know how our prophet means to us .\n\nand there is diffrent between clear ur opinion by free of speach and make funny of somthing u know already its will HURT others . \n\nSO WHY THERE AT THEIR COUNTRY ANY ONE MAKE FUNNY OF THE HOLOCAUST THEY STOP HIM ??? and they send him to jail as they did for alots b4 .\n\nand this what GAT_WAY meant and im sure he didnt try saying it just to make respect for this issue ..bcs some got hurt from it ... but seem alots dont show respect for others as we do for others .\n\nSo its matter of respect and not hurt any one feelings . but think whom did thats he meant to hurt us .. \n\nand i agree with whom said thats not all the denmarkens making funny .. and im sure many of them ,agree its not good and thats hurt others ...but some littel of them have hate for islam and muslims so they do thes things ... and im sure they have thats hate just without any reason more than thats they just hate muslims and dont understand what islam its ...\n\nand by the way ,we dont care if they like us or hate us ... we care just for one thing THATS SHOW RESPECT TO OUR RELIGION AS WE DO FOR THEM AND THIER RELIGIONS & BELIVES .

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.

The word 'cartoon' is irrelevant in this whole story - it is not the way Mohammed was depicted, but the very fact that he was depicted at all which causes offence to Muslims. There is no easy secular or Christian analogy.\n\nMy own opinion is that any newspaper aimed at a mass or general market should attempt to be sensitive to as many views as possible. Let those who wish to exercise press freedom as an end in itself, simply because they can, be happy with pamphleteering until they can appreciate that with freedom comes responsibility.

simply because God has promised that he will save the Quran and he won't allow anybody to change anything from it!!prophet Mohammad(pbuh) had fought and struggled enough enable to let all people know what Quran is so God promised him that he would never let anybody change the holy Quran and i hope that it will never change!!God bless you!!

In Islam it's forbidden to represent any proPhet in any photo or drawing.All the prophet have the same Condition (Adam, Ibraham,Soleiman, Moussa, Gisus, mohamed,....)\nIt's a respect for them

Is it ethical?  That's a question that only each person can decide.\n\ntheir "so called freedom of speech" as you put it- is a legal issue- and yes- legally they are free to publish the cartoons.\n\nHowever, just because something is legally allowable- does not means someone should do it.  Personally, I don't think it was ethically wrong for the first newspaper to print the cartoons- they did so in response to a contest, and the majority of them were simple depictions of Mohammed.  I do think that it was irresponsible for many of the newspaper who reprinted them- who did so only after violence erupted a few weeks ago.  Their reprinting of the cartoons only fanned the flames of violence.\n\nAnd of course- it is ethically wrong (I believe) for those who are reacting violently to do so.  You are free to disagree with the pictures, free to disagree with the printing of those pictures- but you are not free to destroy property or hurt others.  There are plenty of non-violent ways to show your disagreement.\n\nBut that's just my opinion.

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

the abuse is  being from the following aspects :\n\n1- muslims never had the drawing of thier prophet mohmmad peace be upon him approved or accepted  by all mean , since we were in kindergarten they taught us about him , about how did he struggled to awake  the mankind by teaching them the REAL islam , the religion of peace and love ,which nobody knows about it today , you only know the damaged version , the tortured-image version , so they never told us this is his picture , we didn't wish to see his face as much as we wished to be capable of applying all things he ordered us to do and follow , that's why we feel insulted when they draw him , and what a draw ! oh please ! did you see those cartoon , please? now if you don't like the way our faith  and religion is , please don't bother yourself with it , buddhist or hindus can worship a cow , we don't like somebody to draw our prophet , any problem?\n\n2- again , if it was just a nice picture for a sweet man who looks gentle , maybe some muslims around the world  would appreciate that ! they may say now we can imagine a good picture for our prophet and we may feel we are closer to him , but what happened is all far from this , they depicted him in the worst picture a muslim can posess : \n\n      a - some muslims knows nothing about islam , they don't really follow the right islam , they bomb others and kills innocent without being in a legal war , now , when those danish draw our prophet wearing a bomb on his head , and moreover written on it the sentence that 1.300.000.000 muslims say each day in each pray in 5 prayers ( la elaha ella allah ( no true god but allah ) mohammad rasolo allah ( mohammad is the messenger of allah) ,  for god sake what reaction are you waiting for ? he was blaming his fellows if they kill an insect or an animal without a purpose ! this is the real islam how dare they put a bomb above his head , peace be upon him .\n\n      \n     b- " We ran out of virgins " , what a cartoon!!!! you won't even allow me to depict your father doing that  , or even your bf , then how can i keep silent when the one i believe he is the best man of humanity is being depicted like that ? our prophet had 12 wives , yes , but please did the one who drew the cartoon read islam histroy before doing that? did he know where did each wife of them came from? did he know that we call them  -his wives- :" mothers of believers " , and all muslim women try to follow them in the fabulous way  they lived , can't I say : objection please , this is very offensive !! \n\n    c- a man with a beard and a knife in his hand ,,,  and 2  women behind him with the dress more than 30.000.000 million women in the islamic world usually wear it ( included iran and saudi arabia ) ( i.e : vail and long black dress and only eyes appear) , please  , what kind of freedom was that ? what kind of human those who are going to accept it? \n\nthat was a description of 3 out of 12 cartoon , how was that? convinsing?\n\nnow , continueing my points : \n\n3- the world care so much about the human rights , right ? human rights knows no time or specific place to be applied at , let's ask those who don't believe in our prophet mohammad peace be upon him and they made cartoon about him : doesn't he has human rights like all others? if some people who claim to follow him did bad things to you , what's his fault ? a simple example : if a man killed your father , what is his son guilty for? \n\nand  imagine , after all what i have just said  , good muslims around the world  have condemned burning embassies and killing or destroying anything because it's anti-islamic behaviour , they  called only for boycott , the simplest right,\n\n so now who owe the other one an apology and who's the real guilty?
