HOWEVER, these reactions, such as denying the holocaust and somehow bringing the Jews into the mix is not condoned by Islam. A true Muslim would defend the Prophet's (may peace be with him) dignity and would not proceed to bash another group of people, that would be Un-Islamic. Unfortunately, us Muslim are currently undergoing our own dark age, much like when the west was undergoing a deep dark age whilst the Islamic Empire was growing through a golden age that lasted centuries. So, our leaders and many of our people currently will not be reacting in the most diplomatic or well-educated way. excuse us, this is not a representation of our religion but rather a proof that mankind is deeply flawed and will always need God's guidance.

Although we are sad we are also happy because your demise it at hand in the West.<br />We ask ourselves: why do you resent the leader of mankind? The signs of his prophethood are innumerable - have you not heard of the splitting of the moon? But the greatest miracle is the Qur'an itself which Allah has protected while the books from your prophets have ben tampered with.<br />The greatest proof is that Islam will be victorious.<br />The entire world – with no alternative – must regard the greatness of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) among all of creation above all greatness, and his virtue above all virtues, and his status as greater than any other.

They claim there were six million killed, but precise scientific research demonstrates that there were no more than 400,000. Has the complex which the Jews have as a result of the Nazis' actions created within them psychological burdens which they are now releasing against the Palestinians?<br /><br />Al-Agha: The truth is I do not think so. Psychological baggage after forty or fifty years….I am skeptical….But I do think that we are talking about an investment. They have profited materially, spiritually, politically and economically from the talk about the Nazi killings. This investment is favorable to them and they view it as a profitable activity so they inflate the number of victims all the time. In another ten years, I do not know what number they will reach…As you know, when it comes to economics and investments, the Jews have been very experienced ever since the days of the Merchant of Venice.<br /><br />David Bar-Ilan, a spokesman for then Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, released the transcript of the program to Western reporters, who covered the incident in English media. Several days later Radwan Abu Ayash, head of the Palestinian Broadcast Corporation, announced that Al-Agha's remarks did not reflect the opinion of the Palestinian Authority, but defended them as "freedom of expression."<br /><br />As you say, THAT'S offensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229990984320313018.post-67414653480527839022012-09-22T19:17:07.056+01:002012-09-22T19:17:07.056+01:00Actually I thought the cartoon was funny without b...Actually I thought the cartoon was funny without being offensive.
