[kronas]

whilst i agree that many muslims are going over the top in terms of wanting literal blood for whats happened might i add that french satirical magazine republished the pictures including a new sketch.

is it right or wrong ?

There is no specific, or explicit ban in the Koran on images of Allah or the Prophet Muhammad - be they carved, painted or drawn.

However, chapter 42, verse 11 of the Koran does say: "[Allah is] the originator of the heavens and the earth... [there is] nothing like a likeness of Him."

This is taken by Muslims to mean that Allah cannot be captured in an image by human hand, such is his beauty and grandeur. To attempt such a thing is seen as an insult to Allah.

however:

Islamic tradition or Hadith, the stories of the words and actions of Muhammad and his Companions, explicitly prohibits images of Allah, Muhammad and all the major prophets of the Christian and Jewish traditions.

you read these things for yourselves, im not defending anyone, all im saying is that its a mockery of religion, regulars on here know me as intolerant of religion but i would never go to the depths that the danish and other newspapers have, muslims are touchy enough already, due to 9/11.
