Azmeh,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.I do agree with you that just because some people in the past illustrated the drawings of Prophet(SAW) doesnt justify its further use.However,the angered Muslims,after the Cartoon controversy,screamed it on the top of their lungs that drawing Prophet Muhammad(SAW)'s drawings was not only blasphemy but even unheard of.That is the atitude,isnt it? I never knew it myself that such great people drew the Prophet's drawings.In reaction,why dont we erase the name of these Muslim people from history? Because they were not only educated and closer to God but were philosophical minded and had justifications for these drawings.These are no ordinary people.These are the people who have enriched the Muslim histroy.
The word 'Civil Manner' is quite debatable.For Mullahs questioning Shariah is not civil and is demonic,and for Israelis any atack on the atoricities of Israel results in one being labelled anti-Semitic.
As for Virgin Mary's poster,I dont find it vulgar or anything.An artist has a right to freely expres himself.I dont find anything wrong with nude art.But then again,its my opinion.
As for the context of the poster,I have hyperlinked the word NAKED BREATS to the original newpaper report.
Thats the whole point. People voicing their opinions and protests in a civil manner is and was always acceptabel. But putting a price on the head of the person who says or draws things that you do not like is madness. Muslims are not protesting criticisms of Islam in a civil manner, but in fanatical, violent, mad manner.
