What's so offensive about Muhammad's face?

Commenting on the Southpark controversy...And this one requires viewer participation!

And yes, I do know I'm a bit late to the party here...I was hoping for the second part of the show to air last night so that I could add that to the conversation.

Feel free to post your videos to my video here or to Gothatfunk's video:

The reason Muhammad is meant not to be depicted or drawn to a specific image because he is not supposed to be idolized (the pre-islamic arabs were mostly pagans who worshiped idols). The prophet didn't want to be idolized are viewed as godly. I think it's the overly-sensitive muslims, not the religion. I honestly don't care what you do... Just wondering... if you think Muhammad (sws) never existed how did the caliphate take over the middle east? Who were the Abbasids related to? gd vid thumbs up

@xArabianxBeastx I appreciate the comment and wish more saw it the way you do...

That said...I never said Muhammad OR Jesus didn't exist...I'm also not saying there wasn't a Hercules or Achilles or Hera or even a Medusa...I just take exception to the details of the stories attributed to them.

ok! look, showing muhammed is not a problem! the problem is when you linked " Muhammed" to something related to terrorist thing such as a bomb or stuff like that.

I'm a muslim :)

@a7medsarCA The cartoon in question here didn't attach him to anything...in fact, it was extremely positive.

I'm glad that YOU seem to feel that way...I wish others were the same.

You are dumber than a bag of hammer... read before you make a clip D**K Neck.

@BeDaChange Before you call someone "dumb," perhaps you should check your grammar.

[KingHeathen]

@bellameer36 Why must I respect someone else's religion? What about their superstitious beliefs is so deserving of "respect?" Should I respect someone's lucky rabbit's foot too?

[geek2core]

You are so ignorant. Qur'an does not explicitly forbid images of Muhammad, but there are a few hadith which have explicitly prohibited Muslims from creating visual depictions of figures under any circumstances. Islam is strictly monotheist and we prohibit any visual depictions of the prophets. The key concern is that the use of images can encourage idolatry, where the image becomes more important than what it represents.

Mohammed is a real historical person, he was one of the greatest tactitions and won many battles. If you lik Alexander then you will like the story's, the historically correct storys about Mohammed the General are real. Research and cross reference.

Muhammad never had a face because he never ever existed, he is a fictional characters set up by the Quran Authors of the Vatican

@324582782 Buddha isn't worshiped. He isn't a deity. He was a man (with the title "the enlightened one") Buddha was a man, Buddhists (for the most part) are atheists. I say for the most part because many "new aged" Buddhists have merged their beliefs.

[324582782]

@daverigby23 Exactly people do worship Buddha.

[daverigby23]

@324582782 I'm saying that if they do worship Buddha, then they are mistaken, However, they won't be put to death for it, Buddhism, as I'm sure you know, genuinely is tolerant; unlike most religions

[324582782]

@daverigby23 are you saying that no one in this world worships Buddha?

[daverigby23]

@324582782 I wouldn't even call it a religion, rather it's a philosophy. Buddhists are mostly agnostic, there might be a god there might not be. The best thing to do is to live your life according to the teachings of the Buddha. I think you'll find that if buddhists pray, then it's for the well-being of former spirits, not to a god, and certainly not to Buddha as a god

[324582782]

@daverigby23 you surely don't know that budhisim is a very complex religion and its hard to say if buddhist worship budhha or not. Although buddha did not want his follower to worship him, Many have started to worship him especially in India.

[daverigby23]

@32458278 I know more about it than you do, and don't need to do any homework

[324582782]

@daverigby23 many also worship. Do your research
