My two (possibly ignorant) cents...
Feb 07, 2006, 12:59
From what I heard, and this may be completely wrong, but Muslims do not allow any illustration or visual depiction of Allah. Is that correct?

Obviously, you think of 'God' and think of some painting of generic Christian type grey haired dude with a beard, but Islam does not have such things.

As such, in the interests of tolerance and respect to all (including Muslims within each country that printed the cartoons) the cartoons should not have been printed.

Ultimately, the only message conveyed by the use of the cartoons is that of ignorance. You have the right to consider all religions a bunch of hogwash, but surely all religious followers, fanatical or otherwise, have the right for their beliefs.

Printing those cartoons is to me the same as walking into a Hindu temple with shoes on. It makes me uncomfortable and I know it is deliberately disrespectful.
