Should we flood the world with images of Muhammed?

Should we flood the world with images of Muhammed?

I'm not sure. On one hand, it's disrespectful to "flood" the world with images that you know a religion would find particularly heinous (not just offensive). On the other hand, people have the right to publish pics of Muhammed, so this would be one way to get the point of freedom of speech across. On the third hand, it would cause violence. On the fourth hand, there would be too many places and people and pics for the Islamists to focus on any one in particular for a major point.
 
Why Islam forbids images of Mohammed - CNN.com


Again, here comes the "bitter irony", and SHEER STUPIDITY:



In the Quran, there is "no statement from the prophet requesting his image not be recorded,"

Here's the thing - if you are a Muslim, and you believe it's wrong to draw images of something (anything), don't draw the damn pictures.
Whatever somebody does who is NOT a Muslim is really none of your damn business.

People who believe cows are sacred do not go about killing everybody who eats beef.
People who don't eat fish on Friday don't kill people who eat fish on Friday.
People who believe alcohol is the Devil's elixir don't try to kill everybody who drinks beer.

Muslim people MUST be driven to understand that non-Muslims should not be held accountable to Muslim dogma and Muslim "laws". Especially in countries that are NOT predominately Muslim.

If "Allah" thinks it's wrong for humans to draw pictures of Muhammed, let Allah sort it out in whatever way he see's fit.

This ideological concept of "kill the infidel - he/she drew a picture that's forbidden" is the epitome of how truly dangerous religion can be.
 

every decent person agrees with your statement .but lets not open this issue to the discussion .WHO are we to change some basic principles of a religion.and lets not categorize all muslims as islamist bigots.

And that's the same right that Muslims have when it comes to magazines, TV shows, newspapers, radio programs, .....

Boycott. Don't murder.
Turn it off. Don't buy it. Don't look at it. Protest with your wallet and your feet, not with a gun, knife, or suicide vest.
 



Not going to happen.

Some people on this planet have other things to do with their time.

Flooding, as in provoking, no. Exercising our 1st Amendment rights when the topic of Muhammad comes up, absolutely. We must treasure the right to speak freely and not let anyone dictate what we can or cannot say. That includes speaking for or against any topic.
We have become hypersensitive to the point that we have to carefully weigh our every word. Religious extremism, hate speech, racism, homophobia, sexual harassment...where does it stop?
 
I'd like for it to have stopped before I had to abandon the word "niggardly" because there were so many ignorant people who were unfamiliar with it.
