Subject: A suggestion

Hi,

I am extrememly disappointed and displeased after visiting your website.

What you people are up to. It is offensive and disrespectful and even unbearable.

You have no idea how deeply we muslim love our Holy Prophet Muahammad (PBUH).
No muslim can ever permit this act.
May he/she be non practicing or remotely religious - it is unacceptable for one, leaving aside a small percentage of hypocrates.

I demand that all this stuff depicting Holy Prophet Muahammad (PBUH) be removed from this web site and as well from all mirror sites.

I hope you will understand and you will save yourself from the deepest place in hell.

It is something silly to do those drowings and a like. The prophet Mohammed - peace be upon him - the master of all human biengs was and still the leader of all prophets and mankined and he is the leader of peace .We believe in him as a massenger of Allah. Came to lead people to pradise by believing in Allah.

I have nothing to say ,but you will be the losers and Allah will protect his massenger even he is dead .

You must wait for a curse and the punishment

I am glad someone pulled all of this together into one place.

I could care less if an illustration offends the muslims. If they don't like it they don't have to view it. The free world can write and illustrate anything it damn pleases, and Islamic law is not, nor will ever be, the law of the land.

From: juha

Reading some of the reactions of people to your site is very interesting, even made me laugh. How can people be so intolerable? Why do they care of what we laugh about? Why do they want to control our ideas and mind. Why do they try to hide the truth?

Your pictures clearly shows that the claim: "Pictures of the prophet are forbidden" is incorrect. This must of course be a difficult message to some fanatics.

When religious leaders start to control politics terrible things happen. People should learn to be critical to their leaders as well as to their religion.

To the fanatics I have really one question: Why young kids are blowing themselves up? Don't you love your children? Can't you stop them? Why your religious leaders don't show some more courage and make some good examples in blowing up themselves. After all they will be martyrs and go straight to Allah. It is easy to control the mind of a kid, so easy to let them do your dirty jobs. But what if your kids went straight to hell because of the innocent people they killed?

Dear sir,

Thank you for the Mohammed archive. I am truly informed after visiting your site.

I truly hope the free press of Europe will not be afraid of the reaction of the Muslims. The Muslims have said and written more vile things about the Christian faith and Jews than we can ever draw. I live in a Muslim majority country and they can say anything under the sky about the Christians but we cannot utter anything negative about their 'Holy' prophet who married an underage girl.

I think you have to let the people of Europe stand up in unity and if it is necessary send those muslim in Europe back to their homeland if they cannot understand the freedom you have.

Thank you.

God bless.

You've done a great service with the image archive. Imagine that. A "volunteer" journalist scoops an entire planet full of "professional" journalists on an important and timely subject.

My greatest disappointment vis a vis this issue is the cowardice of the US media in not publishing the pictures. In the future, when I hear or read anyone in the MSM ranting about their First Amendment rights, I'll be able to gag with some enthusiasm.

If the major news sources in the US and Europe had simply refused to cave in to the intimidation, a few brave individuals would not now have to be hiding from extremists. Because of failure to meet this challenge head on, more will come; and there will be a severe price to pay in the future.

Thank you for doing the job of our so called free press.

I'm from Denmark, so I know, what it's all about.

That's why I feel so sorry for the muslims, for it seems they are the only ones who don't know anything about Muhammed (No peace on him). I see here and I read in the papers, that they think he is/was a nice man. When will they ever learn, they have been fooled for one and a half thousand years.

Muhammed (No peace on him) is the biggest catastrophe in mankind ever. As long as his believers stayed at home in the desert, he could only make a Hell for his own people, but now, where his people are spreading all over the globe, we are all suffering because of him.

We are in the West blamed for not finding the mass destruction weapons in Iraq. I have tryed to tell where to find them. They are hidden in every bookshelf, in every school, in every mosque: it is the Koran.

Destroy the Koran, and peace on earth will grow up quickly.

Subject: I would like to tell you our side of the story...

I am a Muslim, and I saw your website, and I would like to point out something. First of all, what us Muslims are mainly upset about; is NOT that they drew the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him, but that they protrayed him as a terrorist,which is a TOTAL LIE! If you read the biography of the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him, you might better understand that those comic strips were Extremely Offensive. You say that there are other pictures of the Prophet, and I am sure that the Muslims of that age showed their anger about the offensive ones especially.Not all of the pictures you have in your archive are offensive to the Prophet,though. So I am writing to you just to clear this up.

I am sending you some information about the prophet,so you will have a better idea of who he was, what kind of man he was, his morals and character. At the bottom are also some names of some biographies. If you want, I can find some titles of biographies in English, just let me know.Thank you for reading what I have to say, and I hope you at least put our point of view in your site.

But I have problems with the comments from the so called moslems, they swear and curse at you using obscene words for being profesionals. Is this what Islam teaches? Is this what their so called prophet muhammad taught them? You can agree with me that, their (moslems) approach to religious issue is quite different to the approach taken by christians. Christians are understanding and do not condone violence, terrorism and murder of innocent people. This then speaks volume of these two religions.

How many wives did prophet muhammad marry? So many wives because of his insatiable lust.

Respected Sir,

Please publish this message so that the world can analyse the problem haunting Islam.

The reaction of the muslim community to the cartoons of Prophet Mohammad clearly shows their gross intolerance to criticism and the freedom of the press. It is needless to say that this is the reason for many muslim dominated nations to be under military rule (dictatorship). Even though Islam doesn't preach violence or terrorism when the freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom to women is curbed all minute crimes in the society grows and grows until it explodes like a volcano creating widespread violence within the muslim community and also with the other religious groups. It's basically the inability to accept criticism in the pretext of it as unislamic is the cause for terrorism and violence eventhough islam may not preach it.

The muslims has to accept criticism for their own good and only then can other religious groups respect Islam or else it will be perceived as a dictatorship religion with the muslims being slaves to their religion. There has to be freedom to criticise and scrutinize everything including the government and the religion and not just accepting it blindly or rather accepting by fear of hardcore muslim fundamentalists. For those who doesn't beleive that many muslims follow Islam because of fear there are many instances to cite as examples of these including the threatening of the muslim women in hardcore Islamic countries (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc) to wear 'purdah' (the black cloth covering head to toe), warning against Sania Mirza in India, threatening to Pakistani actress Mira, threats to many authors in Pakistan who expose the reality, in India a kerala muslim girl warned because she was learning Bharatanatyam (a form of dance linked to Hinduism), the practise of honour killing in Pakistan's country side (husband killing his wife if she were to get attracted to other men), etc. The above said instances were the one that I can recollect at this moment but there are innumerable such instances. Once the freedom is given to the muslims from the clutches of Islamic laws only then the muslims can really understand what Islam is and they will respect and love their religion and not accept it by fear.

Even though the cartooning of Prophet Mohammad can be regarded as blasphemous those who knows Islam and respects it will not just consider the cartooning of Prophet Mohammad and will neglect it. Violent agitation will generate still more criticism against the Islam and it's followers. There has been instances of insult and blasphemous act to other religion also like reciting Bhagvad Gita (the most sacred scripture in Hinduism) in the Hollywood movie 'Eyes Wide Shut' during a group sex scene and the destruction of Lord Buddha statue in Afghanistan which was a world heritage site. What else can be more blasphemous than reciting the holy Bhagvad Gita during a group sex act and the destruction of the Lord Budda's Statue and yet the protests were insignificant. In Christianity, everybody has the right to question and criticise anybody and anything including the Bible.

The time is not far away when muslim community starts recognising all other religion and it's people as unislamic and starts a jihad. This fact is not an exaggeration when people can realise for themself that many muslim dominated countries identifies itself as an islamic country rather than a secular one. The nonmuslim world has been very tolerant to their muslim citizens while nonmuslims in muslim dominated nations are neglected and they don't have the right even to practise or profess their religion in public. In India, muslims have their own islamic courts which gives judgement to not only cases relating to islam but all cases and in general gives judgement according to Quran and the laws enforced by many of the muslim board. I was surprised to know that many muslims in India don't sing or honour the National Song because it is related to Hinduism and so is unislamic. They neither honour the Supreme Court nor the Constitution of India or it's National Song. The time is not far away when the Muslim citizens of America or the Europe disrespect their country's law and it's Flag or the Anthem saying it as unislamic.

I am writing this so that everybody understands the problem (both muslims and nonmuslims). Muslims who reads this has to, if not accept my criticism, at least consider the criticism or try to analyse the problem and not to get violent or get raged and protest. It is for the betterment of Islam and to gain respect for the religion that I think does deserve but not it's people who applies Quran in such a way and to create such islamic laws that it becomes incompatible with other religion.

I don't think the cartoons in the link Anti-Semitic cartoons from contemporary Arab media are anti-semitic at all. They are a true depiction of Israeli agression of poor Palestinians.

They are way less offensive than the extreme Mohamed cartoons.

Get a life.

From: M. M.

We have entered the Cartoon Wars. This is a propaganda war in which fascist Islam is proclaiming that whatever they don't like, or find offensive, is punishable by death.

The reactions to the cartoons printed in the Danish newspaper, the Jyllands-Posten, range from hundreds of thousands of angry Muslims rioting, murdering and burning down buildings, to some commentators in the United States who deplore the Islamic reaction yet proclaim that it was "stupid,"unwise" or simply "wrong" for the newspaper to publish these cartoons of Mohammad, considering the violent reactions throughout the Islamic world.

We are at war with fascist Islam.

Those who believe that it was "stupid" to publish the cartoons and "stupid" to continue publishing such inflammatory material are wrong. They are dead wrong.

They are surrendering to fascism.

The Jyllands-Posten was doing what newspapers do all over the world. They published a controversial article. This article was about whether or not Danish cartoonists were intimidated by fear of retribution by fascists, who claim to be Muslims, if they were to depict the Muslim prophet, Mohammad.

We, who claim to live in the Free World, are fighting a war against these particular fascists who claim the religion of Islam as their primary weapon. These fascists use extreme violence and murder to propagate their goal of making everyone in the world, "a slave, a Muslim or dead."

Islamic Fascists daily proclaim that their goal is to make the entire world "a slave, a Muslim or dead," and they proclaim that it is a holy mission. Those that cherish free speech and believe that they should have the right to insult murderers and terrorists acquiesce to this self-proclaimed mission of Islamic world domination when they chastise the Jyllands-Posten for being "stupid" because they printed cartoons that inflame the Muslim world, or when they remove funny websites because they are offensive to Muslim fascists.

This is a serious mistake.

We are currently at war with two particularly virulent forms of Islam that believe in total world domination through murder and violence. The largest and most successful of these two forms of fascist Islam is Wahhabi Islam, which is a cultic form of Sunni Islam begun 250 years ago in the sands of the Najd of Saudi Arabia. Using this fanatical and intolerant form of Islam, the House of Saud managed to subjugate and conquer the entire Arabian peninsula, murdering hundreds of thousands and destroying whole cities, including all of the holy shrines of Mecca and Basra in Iraq, where Shia Islam originated. Saudi Arabia today exports this cult of fascist Islam to every country in the world and has been doing so for over fifty years. This latest Cartoon Jihad was planned and agreed upon by 57 Muslim countries that met in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in December.

It is this extreme, cultic form of Wahhabi Islam that prohibits their prophet from being depicted in pictures. As it prohibits any form of adulation to anything other than what Wahhabists decree is holy. These fascist Islamists destroyed all of the holy Muslim shrines all over the Middle East which were sources of pilgrimage for over 1,000 years. It was these fascist Wahhabist Taliban that destroyed the statues of Buddha in Afghanistan. These cultists believe that all people, including non-Wahhabist Muslims, are liable for death and destruction if they do not accept this fascist, Saudi Arabian, theocratic cult of death and destruction.

These same fascist Muslims are at war with the United States of America and attacked us on 9/11. Osama bin Laden is a Saudi Arabian Wahhabi. And now, through their acts of war, specifically the burning down of sovereign Danish embassies, they have declared war on Denmark and anyone else that would insult them for their murderous ways.

When the cult of "Wilayat Al-Faqih," the Rule of the Jurist, which is the fascist Shia cult practiced by the mullahs in Iran and hated by most Iranians, is added into this savage war, the result is two fascist powers vying for dominance in this war against the West and, against each other. Who can burn down more embassies? The Iranian backed Shia or the Saudi Arabian backed Wahhabis? Who can cause more destruction? Who can generate more fear?

Because that is their aim: to generate fear and sow terror amongst their enemies -- which is anyone who refuses to believe what they believe.

The goal of our enemy is to make it illegal and immoral to offend the fascist forms of Saudi Arabian and Iranian Islam.

Their goal is to enforce the belief that when fascist Muslims are insulted, it is legitimate to murder people, burn down buildings and riot.

In ordinary Western countries, when people commit these kinds of crimes, they are labeled for what they are: criminals.

In ordinary Western countries, when people blame their criminal actions on others because "they made me feel bad" or because "I am offended," we call these kinds of people psychotic.

The claims and the behaviors of Muslims who support this kind of fascist violence is criminal and psychotic. The behavior of the Danish newspaper that printed these cartoons is ordinary and mundane. They behaved as newspapers have always behaved. They published material that some people find offensive. That's all they did.

It is not their fault or responsibility that psychotic, criminally insane, fascist, Muslims were offended and therefore burned down buildings and murdered people.

The Jyllands-Posten should have published the story; should continue publishing stories like this, and so should everyone else. Every television newscast; every magazine; every newspaper, should show these cartoons over and over again to simply prove the point that we will not surrender to the whims and psychosis of criminal, Muslim fascists.

We are in a war where the religious fascists are proclaiming that if we print things they don't like; that if we dress in ways that they disapprove of; that if we live our lives in ways that are prohibited by their beliefs, then they will destroy us. And they back up their threats by sending out their Islamic shock troops out in an orgy of destruction and murder.

Every cartoon not published; every word censored for fear of offense; every website removed out of fear, is giving aid and comfort to our avowed enemy.

We are at war with fascist Islam. And every time we allow ourselves to be censored or to change what is ordinary and mundane out of fear of offending Muslims, we are surrendering to their way of life -- which is a way of life that is barbaric, hateful, and violent.

We must not surrender. We must publish.

I just wanted to say thank you to you and google for making it so easy to find the "offending" images and educating me about the extra three. No wonder they were so upset, but that's how knee-jerk reactionaries usually are.

Hopefully some muslims will visit your website and learn that Mohammed and the islamic culture is not sacred all over the world, that there are other cultures and you ought to give respect in order to gain respect. And in Denmark we have the right to experss ourselfs - that's a part of our culture.

Others who demonstrate against these certain unalienable human rights and freedoms with violence and destructive behaviors are:

1. Against God/Allah

2. They showcase their mental illness

3. They abhor human dignity through a public display of their ignorance while propagating evil in the worst way through the hypocrisy and horrific deeds of their religious beliefs.

The Muslims depict Roman Catholic, Christ, and Jews as infidel pigs in their own cartoons, therefore, all other religions have an inherent right to depict Allah as they see fit!

portraits following the current international incident - and bravo also
for the always elegant and educated comments.

the cartoons are now to be published at least in Germany, Iceland and
France (France Soir) in the name of free expression of speech.

we had to clear out our offices yesterday - we are in the same building
as the Jyllands Posten newspaper who published the drawings.

all the best + thanks for your great contribution to the thing - it's
really cooking here in copenhagen.

Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings upon him) is the messenger of God and he is in Heaven...what you have shown is nonsense and it reflects your jealousy and hatred towards prophet Mohammed ....

we will always be faithful to our ONE GOD and to his great Prophet peace and blessings upon him...

and you can't and will not be able to underestimate our religious values....
 

From: C. Fanit

Firstly Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is not the founder of Islam, It's not a social group that u join.

You're laughing and joking about beliefs and a way of life.
What about Islam and Muslims scare u???? Why try and make people angry????
Why laugh at a man who was noble, kind and tolerant???
Muslims dislike, on a whole any images to be made of the prophets for no other reason other then respect. We don't portray images because we don't want people praying to them and confusing it like people do with Jesus (pbuh) ie jesus was born in the middle east and he is portrayed like a white man. People pray to his image etc.

Information is a good thing but if you're hurting people and offending them, regardless of your religion decency should prevail.

freedom of speech doesn't mean that you can launch an indirect or in the case of Danish newspaper direct attack in form of editorial images on some other religions especially Islam and ruing their fates.....

All praise is due to Allah alone. May Allah's peace and blessings be unto His slave-servant Mohammed and unto all his brethren prophets and messengers of Allah, and unto all their followers to the Day of Judgment, amen.

Mohammed is the purest of the mankind breed.

Danish people, as well as all other peoples on the face of earth, are reminded that such ridiculing acts are mere lies and nonsense.

Mohammed is truly the purest of the mankind breed. Any ridiculing acts, no matter how many in volume and number they are, they would not change this fact that billions of people believe in. Allah, the Almighty reported this in the Glorious Quran. The face of Allah's Messenger SAAW represents purity, holiness and glory. His face is more lit than the full-moon itself. His face beams generosity, glory, happiness, optimism and attraction to all those who saw him. Everyone who looked at the face of Mohammed was attracted to his glory, even his enemies. Symbolically, Mohammed was never reported to be a frowner or with fierce facial features. He had never beaten a person throughout his honorable life; a woman, a child a man or else.

It is rather extremely disappointing and depressing for the Danish newspaper itself and its' editors and editor-in-chief, for the entire Danish government and every one wants to redicule the prophet peace be upon him, that the only information they have about Mohammed is the bit they ridiculed him for. Allah, the Almighty told the truth saying in the Glorious Quran 36:30, 'Woe be to mankind! Never a messenger was sent to them except they ridiculed him I call upon these ridiculing people, who ridiculed Allah's Messenger SAAW, and I call upon the non-Muslims to do-themselves-a-favor, to read the noble biography of the honorable Prophet and Messenger of Allah, the Almighty. They will be doing themselves a favor by reading the best biography of a man on-the-face-of-earth ever. He is the perfect man, the perfect leader, the perfect teacher, the perfect human being, the perfect father and the perfect all-in-all man.
 

From: John H.

If Persians, particularly shi'ites, depict muhammad with a face (I have seen Jesus-like pictures of Muhammad on walls in public throughout Iran), that doesn't mean such depictions are permitted among Sunnis or generally within Islam. Your site showing Muslim depictions of Muhammad all hail from Iran and environs. [Not true. -- ed.] That is not any excuse for intentionally vile depictions by Europeans of Muhammad for consumption by westerners. Is the point that Arabs don't riot over Irani pictures of the prophet? Because Iranis don't generally show Muhammad in a disparaging manner, so that really would not be a rational comparison. Just what is the point? So Muhammad's been painted before. Was it done before as a provocative test of Muslim "tolerance" for western abuses of freedom of the press?

how are you there ? i am a moslem . I love muhammad SAW so much. I consider him as the best person and a prophet in the world. He is the true messanger in the world till the judgement day. his behaviour was so well known as the best people among in his community at the time. he is very trusted by all people ( moslem or non moslems) even the non-believers in mecca. He loves orphans and the poor very much. he defences also non-moslems there.

allahumma sholi 'ala muhammad wa ala alii muhammad.

read about his history and be his follower.
 

Sirs,

I am reading such angry responses to a few cartoon images.
The cartoons I believe can be offensive to some...but to the degree you wish to riot or harm others? I have seen television programming...state sponsored....in the mideast, nothing could compare to the way chrisians and jews are depicted! Where are the slayings and riots?
When a Mosque is bombed...what happens to sacred books and literature inside?...possibly burned or destroyed.....but no reaction! A phony story of mishandling the Quran by a gaurd...and screams,riots,death! The murder and dismemberment of young girls is much more serious, than a questionable cartoon...Muslims around the world should ask what is more important and offensive!!

Subject: Thanks for informing us.

You know what, this is the first time I have seen all of the 12 now infamous pictures. Thanks for putting that up, without you and others like you I would never have even known what the conflict was about. The press used to believe in freedom of speech, and having all the available information before making decisions, but they won't give me the information in this case.

Now that I can see how only a few of them are insulting at all, and half of them are completely benign, it just underscores how important it is to ensure our freedoms are not compromised.

 

From: Bob A

Thank you for publishing this archive. This is a valuable public service to the free world.
 

A few weeks ago, I tried to google to find the pictures from Denmark that had been the center of the cartoon row. I was unsuccessful. Then, a friend wrote in his blog about what is going on, and included a link to your site. Upon arriving at your site, I was quite pleased to not only find the recent cartoons, but many examples of depictions of Mohammed from throughout history. As a historian, I found these to be quite interesting.

I appreciate that you have put all of the various images on display. There is nothing worse than misinformation to get people riled up. Whether or not Muslims are happy about your page should be irrelevant to you if you are not a Muslim. Why should laws from a religion not your own matter to you? I don't go about trying to force people of other faiths to follow Christian beliefs, and I don't think that Muslims should try to dictate to non-Muslims how they should behave. If Muslims are offended by the images you have on display, then they should avoid looking at them.

It seems to me that the most unfortunate thing about this entire controversy is that a few fundamentalists are stirring up emotions in the majority of Muslims. I have a hunch that the vast majority of Muslims, including those involved in demonstrations are genuinely peace loving folks who have been incited to rioting and violence by wicked people who are seeking to instigate a clash of civilizations. I can only pray that cooler heads will prevail, and I think that being able to look at these images is a step in the right direction.

Subject: Flawed Logic

Mo's people furore opens my eyes how their logic is flawed. It maybe comes from the brain-damage they got
from banging their heads to the floor in their daily 5 prayers.

They swear and curse, throwing threats in their e-mail responses to this site. They state that depicting
their holy prophet is prohibited and doing so is an unforgivable sin. Following the logic, they should know it very well that they are not supposed to visit the site and see the depiction of their holy prophet.

Yet they do visit on their own will. Despite the warning that easily offended people should stop going further, they defy the warning and keep going-on only to get offended and enraged.
 

From: Glenn B. (UK)

Imagine if someone (maybe in China) had drawn a picture of the Dalai Lama holding a bomb, and it was published on this site. Can we imagine so many abusive and threatening emails from Buddhists? Burning embassies? Death threats? A good Buddhist would express their opinion whilst wishing only love for the artist and the publishers. If a Buddhist expressed hatred and insults, it would immediately stand out as deeply unspiritual.

By contrast, it is interesting to see how many posts there are here from people who call themselves Muslims, but who just express hatred, as opposed to love.

I notice not a single email from a Muslim condemning all this violent, abusive and threatening language from their fellow Muslims. What does that say to the readers of these emails?

No cartoon can make me think differently about a world religion. But the reaction to this episode from thousands of Muslims is self-defeating, and does little to convince non-Muslims that Islam is widely practiced in a peaceful and tolerant way, rather than mostly in a dangerous and potentially violent way.

If compassionate and peaceful Muslims wish their religion to be perceived as such, then I think it would be a good idea for them to loudly condemn those Muslims who pour out hatred and threats. The compassionate version of Islam needs to be heard above the roars of hate.

Subject: very good work

I would like to express how great I feel about going through your website. It's very prudent and correct to show how depictions of this so-called " prophet " have existed and to our amazement even in muslim culture.

I would also like to express my hatred and contempt for Islam, this religion is a threat to the world and people need to start realizing it. Muhammad was a coward, an epileptic, a murderer, a thief and an ignorant. I'm very glad we are upsetting these beasts.
 

From: musicfreak

id just like to say, i find the responses to this website hipocritical and sad...to think that practitioners of a religion such as islam would be so unintelligent and non thinking in there response is enough on its own to discredit there opinions, but first you must look at there own misunderstandings...

islam, in itself, believes that God is ultimately forgiving, and that the depths of hell are reserved only for the most evil of evil men and women to walk the earth. even so, it is written that even the most evil soul will eventually pay his debt owed to god in hell, and finally join god in heaven. there is no way someone would go to hell for posting a webpage...

Subject: Iranians

It's good to have different cartoons from different opinions here.

As an Iranian I'd like to ask you please do not mix the origin of Persia with Islam (no offence to any body). Iranians where the only nation that didn't start a war for religion. The first declaration of human right was declared by Cyrus the great the king of Persia. Iranians build the Suez Canal. Iranians were the only nation that were under the conquest of Arabs but after 300 hundred years they restore their language and culture (the same thing for Alexander and Mongols). For us Alexander, Mongols, and Arabs are the same. Iran was unlucky that the revolution (1979) happened (although it would have happened because of the big difference between the poor and rich). Iranians serve the humanity more than any other nation. Unfortunately these days because of the political situation there is nobody that supports this great nation. They have been crushed between the West and Islamic world. But God knows that the reality is different. Persian girls are the most beautiful women on the earth.

Let's forget about all these things.

There is no reason that people fight each other. With all the resources that we have on earth any single individual on earth can live happily with no problem. Let's forget all the hates. Let's get together. Let's be friend. Let's respect science and engineering. I'm crying now. Why we should fight for bullshit. It's enough.

God bless all of you
 

From: Stilgar F.

It is really nice you collected those pictures. It is not about the insult. It is about the right to insult. It is about values and our value is the right to insult. If the muslins don't like it they are free to leave Denmark (and the rest of the Western world) it is their right to boycott Danish goods but they can't take away our right to insult.

To all those muslins who will read the e-mails on the website and pretend Mohhamed is holly and so on... Why
don't you protest terrorism in his name? Why don't you demonstrate against September 11th? Isn't killing so
many people more blasphemous than some pictures?

Bye from Bulgaria
 

I came across your website shortly after all of the uproar started. I want to thank you for providing a place where I could see exactly what all of the brou-ha-ha was about.

I also found the pictures of Mohammed which had a historical context informative. Some of them painted in earlier times had beautiful detail of architecture and style.

Thank you for providing the information I wanted in order to make my own determination about the cartoons. I'm a moderator on a board which mainly focuses on [...]. One of our members is a Muslim in the UAE and in her post about this topic she made the statement about how Mohammed was not to be depicted in any manner other than the written word. I was able to use your older pictures to show her the paintings done in the 1400's.

Sally

Excellent site. It's obvious that the rioters are just using this as an excuse to spew their vitriol. More, they show that they themselves are guilty of idolatry, as they would not be reacting in this fashion if they didn't idolize Mohammed. Reminds me a bit of Christians who spout the 10 commandments before kneeling in front of a cross with a plaster jesus attached or a statue of the virgin mary and praying to it....sheer hypocrasy.

I find it amazing that people argue so much without evidence. Here is a link of extreme importance. www.prophetofdoom.net

People say that Islam is a religion of peace. Why do they say that? Did Mohammed say that it was a religion of peace? NO!

There is a reason that the Quoran is not translated into other languages. They don't want you to know what it actually says.

www.prophetofdoom.net translates sections of the Quoran and other writings of Islam into English. Muhammed was a pedophile, a murderer, and a thief. No one who has actually read the material would disagree (unless of course, they were brainwashed.)

Dear Sir / Madam,

You are doing good job. Draw a new cartoon of Mosque with Minaret as Penis of Muhammad and Dooms as Breast of his multiple wives. All evil of Muhammad which you show in cartoon is a real life of wicked Muhammad the dead in sin, which Mohammedans fear to hear or see. But please highlight the evil life of wicked Muhammad to us in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for we do the same evil what you are showing in cartoons of our wicked Muhammad. I am ashamed of being part of this system in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia -

From: L. S.

I'd like to comment on your archive. I think it's quite educational and informative. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Mohammed that Muslims like to think they can prevent the world from seeing.

My beef with these cartoons is this: it is a cartoon. That's it. Where was the outrage of Muslims on 9/11 or the attacks in London? Where was the outrage of Muslims when Christian schoolgirls are murdered on their way to school? Where is the outrage with so many terrible acts done in the name of Islam? I've "advised" a few Muslims that they get mad when the West presents a stereotype of Islam yet they do nothing to change that stereotype. There is too much within the religion of Islam that they need to change and focus on before they worry about a simple cartoon.

From: Youssef Chatti

In the name of God the most beneficient, the most Merciful

I saw these horrible drawings that you are displaying in your website

In fact without any doubt you know the gravity of your act and the insult that you are uttering against this great personality which is Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of God upon Him), and you know how much this is vexing the Muslim community.

This act is pure attack against Islam, against Muslim, against faith, against believes, against the best of the human race, pure demagogy, a filthy act.

In fact you are just defaming and blaspheming our prophet (May Peace and Blessings of God be upon Him).

The cartoons that you are putting on this web page are neither freedom of expression nor sign of democracy or truthful nor funny, or even intellectual, but just another horrible sign of racism, hatred, and injustice.

While the Muslim community, and his right are disregarded and their land and property stolen and destructed, their women raped, their children and elders abused and killed, and their men killed, imprisoned and called terrorist for the only reason of defending themselves their family, country, or sometimes even just for proclaiming being people who just worship one God.

The attack of these journalist and others ignorant people continue to rise, and astonishing things are said and published.

I urge you to think better of what you are doing and to be truthful with you own selves.

What you are doing is wrong and if you have a spark of reason in your head you should stop this evil act.

I would like to remind you what non-Muslim personalities have to say about Muhammad:

If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only they founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then-inhabited world; and more than that he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls. His forbearance in victory, his ambition which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire, his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death –all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was twofold: the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the letter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting and idea with the words. Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror, of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?

- Lamartine Histoire de la Turquie, Pans 1854, Vol. 11 pp. 276-277.

It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder; the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Madina is preserved, after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran… The Mohammedans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith and devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. I believe in One God and Mohammed is the Apostle of God’ is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honors of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue; and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion.

- Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay History of the Saracen Empire, London 1870, p 54.

He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope’s pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue. If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Muhammad, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports.

- Bosworth Smith Muhammad and Muhammadanism, London 1874, p 92

It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of Arabia , who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that mighty Arabian teacher.

- Annie Besant The Life and Teachings o Muhammad, Madras 1932, p 4

His readiness to undergo persecution for his beliefs, the high moral character of the men who believed in him and looked up to him as leader, and the greatness of his ultimate achievement all argue his fundamental integrity. To suppose Muhammad an impostor raises more problems than it solves. Moreover, none of the great figures of history is so poorly appreciated in the west as Muhammad.

W Montgomery Watt Muhammad At Mecca, Oxford, 1953, p 52

Muhammad, the inspired man who founded Islam, was born about AD. 570 into an Arabian tube that worshipped idols. Orphaned at birth, he was always particularly solicitous of the poor and neddy the widow and the orphan, the slave and the downtrodden. At twenty he was already a successful businessman, and soon became director of camel caravans for a wealthy widow. When he reached twenty-five his employer, recognizing his meet, proposed marriage. Even though she was fifteen years older, he married her, and as long as she lived remained a devoted husband. Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the transmitter of Gods word, sensing his own inadequacy. But the angel commanded Read. So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: “there is one God”. In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred, and rumors of God’s personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced, ‘An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human – being. “ At Muhammads own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in religious history: ‘If there are any among you who worshipped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you worshipped, He lives for ever.’

James A Michene “ Islam: The Misunderstood Religion”. Reader’s Digest (American ea.) May 1955, pp. 68-70.

My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.

Michael H. Hart the 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, New York: Hart Publishing Company Inc. 1978, p 33.

I hope that these citations of diverse personalities will remind you of your inferiority compared to our beloved Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings of God be upon Him), and will cut your furious ardour to insult this man which is a mercy for the Humanity.

If you continue I will deduct that above ignorance, its pure hatred and/or jealousy which motivate your act. And if you stop it will be better for your self degradation, knowing that anything you do, you will not arrive to touch or lower the great statue of the master of the creation of God Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings of God be upon Him), not even arm Islam as God the Supreme, the Al Mighty said :

[9.32] “They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.”

And indeed this new attack against the prophet only united the Muslim re-strengthen them and also bright to the light of Islam new happy re-convert to Islam.
