More thoughts on the Danish newspaper incident...

Dear Annamarie, I thank you for your nice feelings and nice words. I don't think you need to apologize for something you haven't committed. And I really feel sorry for those who don't have the courage to admit that they did wrong. I thank you and Simon for being open-minded and understanding (I'm sure that many ignorants will laugh at this and say that being open-minded is the other way around).

Following are some other thoughts regarding this matter:

What the Prophet (PBUH) would have done? (from Words .. only words)

Hatred in The Air (from Aqua Cool)

Work Diaries (28): The Danish Cartoonist! (from Aqua Cool)

These cartoons don't defend free speech, they threaten it (by Simon Jenkins)

Move on,will ya? (from Arabesque Rhapsody)

Not-So-Hidden Inconsistincies in the Danish Cartoons Story (from Earth to Omar)

Appeal to Bloggers: Help Diffuse Volatile Situation Caused by Danish Cartoon (from verbena-19)

As I mentioned in a previous comment, to those who don't know anything about the prophet they offended and to those who want to know more about prophet Muhammad's life, I recommend watching the following 2002 PBS documentary:

Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet
Directed by Omar Al-Qattan and Michael Schwarz
