This is the second time I posted this answer.\n\nThere's nothing really spectacular or journalistic about it, that's why, and media, may it be in the west or middle east cannot earn and would close down in no time if they would show things like that. \n\nWhat you have featured here are nothing new and it is too ordinary for media to give inportance to. In short those are not news materials, those are just simple pictures that may or may not entice people to see. That's why the word news came from the word "NEW" because people would only put interest on new things that happens around them. So, terrorism is news because it's new to a lot of people and it attracts attention and that's what terrorist wants. This way they increase TV viewing increasing their income by increasing the chances of getting good sponsors. There is nothing personal to it, really. So, don't point to the media the problems of Islam. Stop pointing your accusing fingers or else you will only see the mistakes of others and not yours. \n\nIn order for correction or change to take place, there should be acceptance of mistake first because how can you correct your own mistake if you don't see your own mistakes but instead see the mistakes of others. It's like barking on the wrong tree.\n\nMedia only report what they see. I don't believe that there are intentions of twisting the truth because what they report are only what is available to them and they don't have the whole world on their shoulders. If media twists the truth, who will really suffer in the end? We know it's not the sponsors or their viewers but them. Because the truth is that, in the free world, when their credibility suffers, their future follows.  \n\nSo, it nothing new really, I hope you got the picture so that you'll stop wondering anymore. By the way I am not a journalist, I am just an ordinary person who has an open mind who checks on my own fault first before looking at others.

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."

You are so right.  I need to see more Muslims (or any Muslims for that matter) stand up and make a noise against the atrocities you mention.  I am sick and tired of the childish attitude that I have seen where if you mention one of the crimes Muslims have committed they just point the finger back and say, "Well, look what you did!"  I'm sick of this.  I would like for them to say, "yes, we have a serious problem and I'm sick of it too!  We must stop the violence in our ranks."  But they do not stand up and say this.  It annoys me.

Muslims don't care and are not interested in truth.\n\nFunny story; http://homelessheart.com/three_men.htm

Muslim people are strapping bombs to their bodies and blowing up innocent children and adults.  I saw footage of people dancing in the streets whe news of 9/11 was made public.  And the hijackers on the planes that day were all Muslims, at least the words they said were in praise of Allah. \nYou are not telling the truth.

Well.. this is one Question.. I knew from the onset I would NOT be answering..\n\nThe perverse unInformed dumb a** that those people are who circulating this..\n\nBorn & mostly been living in India, we see some strife between Hindus' & Muslims..\n\nBut even then we (as Hindus' n am sure the Muslim brotheren too) know more about each other..\n\nfor the umpteenth time... ISLAM FORBIDS PUTTING A FORM TO THE Holy Prophet..\n\nOkay?? is it now understood that, when even thinking of Him as having a: form/a body IS NOT PERMITTED.. making cartoons would be the last thing finding peace with followers..\n\nMost Hindu Gods have their images printed against lingerie & Inner Wear.. & Gods rubbing against crotches isn't exactly comforting for their followers..\n\nThink of it, replace the ones you are followers of..\n\nIf you still do.. I dont even want to puke on your face :(

The same reason they make cartoons of anything.  For fun.  I think that the whole uprising and the threats of war are stupid.  Yes, the prophet Muhammad said to his followers that he did not want to be idolized, but the artist is not Muslim and the Muslims didn't draw it.  No harm no foul.  Now they are trying to get back by drawing cartoons of the holocaust.  Like we're going to fly off the handle?  We're not the insane terrorist bombers like the few that reside within the Muslim religion.

The problem is that these countries controlled by religious class and dictator governments which prohibit and restrict free press and exchange of other ideas.  Most Muslim countries prohibit or otherwise threatened by violence anyone preach his/her religion to Muslims.  Media restricted, everything restricted. and only one way of understanding imposed on the society. so of course when you're child you hear mostly about Islam is the best and other relgiions suck, and you even study Islam in school esepecially if you are Muslim.   \nOne way of thinkin, one view, one eye, cuz lots of misunderstanding and extremism.  and that's why in my view that extremism increased in Islamic world, despite that other relgiions' extreme fans reduced much.    if you don't see the whole picture how you can judge it?   that's the case of many Muslims.  their reaction is non-logical and too much.  and it is hyprocacy by those who lead it, because it is true, in Islamic world other relgions critcizied and rediculated.\n\nSome they might tell you that NO, Muslim respect "Jesus (PBUH)" but then mostly they add "as prophet", they already put conclusiom. that's because they already believe in Jesus and Moses according to Islam, not according to rsepect other relgions.  for instance, Buddha is often insulted in some TV shows, jokes and some cermons.   Hindu also rediculated.  Newspapers often insult Jewish star and rediculate it and connect it with Israelites attrocities.   While NO single Muslim or very less would accept tie Islmic symobls to Terrorism.    Van Gogh, holand move director, killed because he shows Quran verses on women body in his movie.  does that make any sense?  and many say that was good this man who killed him.   OF COURSE, NOT ALL MUSLIMS SUPPOT THAT AND NOT MAJORITY... many Muslims I heard them they criticized that reaction and they call for calm down. \n\nThanks

when one of the burning questions in the news nationwide is "should muslim women wear a veil or not?" then i think the national identity of the UK has already disappeared, there are much more important issues to be discussed than this, and to deflect the awareness of the country away from the important things that face them in their everyday life, ie crime,unemployment,poverty etc. I feel we are having our media manipulated in order to garner sympathy for a cause that does not need it, that cause being the advancement of Islam, which is one of the largest religions in the world, and you know what really pees me off? the muslims say they're being trampled by this government, when if it wasn't for the english people taking them in from their troubled countries, they would probably be dead now.

I do.  Ok, haven't you seen it?  It's true!! And I have read the Koran.  I didn't see where it forbid the depiction of the prophet.\nBut even if it did, why are the muslims trying to make non muslims obey THEIR laws.  They are violently pushing their religion on those that choose not to follow it.\n\nI support the right of anyone to believe, print and draw whatever the heck they want!  And if the muslims are offended, tough, that's life.

I have grown up amongst Muslims my entire life and they are one of the friendliest and most charming people around the world.\n\nWhen the news first broke, yes, Muslims were portrayed over the media as violent. Over the course of time, you will notice that the media has actually become more careful in their labels. Now, they are 'Muslim separatist groups' or 'Muslim terrorist groups' - groups perpetuating violence under the guise of religion. Sometimes, they do not even have the word Muslim in the front. However, the damage has already been done, and now, everyone just bandies 'Muslims are bad' about.\n\nYou have to also consider the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition, did they not justify violence by whitewashing it with religion during its 'heyday'? To better understand what a particular religion is all about, find out about it. Don't just listen to the news. Why label a people by the actions of a few bad apples? Would you like it if someone else did the same thing to you?\n\nFood for thought; Catholic priests and altar boys. If one was not unfamiliar with the religion, what do you think the impression would be? That Catholicism breeds perverts, perhaps?

Jesus was mocked in cartoons and painting even more than Moham, but the Christians know better than picking up their pitch fork, and kill people, and burn their places of worship as the Muslims do so many times.\nAnd no, the number who rioted against the cartoon was large, not a few people, you should've watched the news better.\nA priest in Turkey was murder over the cartoon, and he has nothing to do it, the only reason was he was a christian and a Priest, innocent man.  I Pakistan, in Indonesia, Egypt, Syria, etc. \nThe world would NOT let a movie or a book be release about Mohammed, true or fiction, because we all are afraid of what the Muslim will do to us, and those who are not afraid! are being too PC even to the death of us all, physical or metaphysically.\n\nFor those who think the book has truth in it, try this for size!  Mohammed married a very young girl! his sons wife! a captive from one of his wars! had many slaves... just some.  What would the Muslim do if someone point them out in a book, or parish the thought a movie!  :0  heads will roll.

Unfortunately, western media is not against muslims.  They condone the muslim terrorists after they destroy things, burn people alive, and murder babies.  No, western governments cannot do legally do anything to the media, but the middle-eastern governments can do something about it.  They can crack down on the terrorists.  All the good muslims need to stop allowing these terrorists to do their acts of evil, and then there won't be any reason for us to dislike them.

The same goes for Islam, friend. If you hate Muslims for what you see on TV and hear about in the Media, then you should be quiet right about now.\n\n- 16 yo Pagan

Their own governments suppress them. Don't bring religeon into it either. It is all down to lack of proper education. I'm not talking about propaganda either.

They are a bunch of bloody savages, what do you expect?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFYI....Just to let you know, all the Muslims are in the relgion and spirituality section of Yahoo answers, they don't bother with politics, they run on faith....post your question there.
