The guideline is up for debate.......many images of Muhamed exist already. The original cartoons were embellished with other, far more insulting ones as well.

TBH, I feel that using examples such as 9/11 or the London bombings is somewhat disingenuous - these weren't particularly done in the name of Islam

Of course they were....and the demonstrators last week were supporting those acts in the name of Islam.

Using these examples does seem to tar all Muslims with the same brush which, in my opinion, is simply wrong.

That's the purpose of this thread......I feel that it is wrong of 'mainstream' Muslims to get so violently uptight over cartoons (which are after all merely poking fun at the fanatical element in their midst) whilst getting not nearly as worked up over many atrocities perpetrated by their own on us. I am trying to work out if I am wrong here or not.......
lol......I'm in the wrong thread as well
