The problem is the media over here gives the impression that the islamic world is upset over a cartoon of mohammed with a bomb in his turban (not that mohammed would have worn a turban...)
This gives the impression that he islamic world are making a mountain out of a molehill, after all, how can such a cartoon like that be truly offensive?
**When in actuallity, Danish muslims have put together their own "dodgy dossier" and taken it to the middle east, which includes the published cartoons, but also includes some far more offensive images along with alot of other anti-islamic properganda.**
Think of the reaction like this:
A dossier of images mocking jesus is released, it contains pictures of jesus copulating with a goat, and also that well known image of the jesus action figure.
Christians get understandably offended at the obscene images included, not hugely offended by the action figure.
The media reports that the christians are offended by the action figure and don't mention the goat images.
Non-christians fail to understand what all the fuss is about. |
**And there for the first time we see the point at which a giant misunderstanding has taken place.At this point enter us non muslims having been unaware up until now of the history of these cartoons and misunderstanding, think that the muslim world is protesting against free speech.**
