To be honest with you, I signed a petition against publishing Muhammad's picture, but I am conflicted because I also believe in Freedom of speech and expression. I think if the picture is posted very respectfully, it shouldn't be a problem and it will not be "disrespecting" the Prophet Muhammad. Sometimes I think people go a little too far with certain issues. Religion has and is causing so much fighting and conflict in the world. This is PRECISELY why I refuse to join ANY religion though I was raised Catholic against my will. Children aren't allowed to make these type decisions. Anyway, I wish everyone would let the picture be published only for the sake of education, unity, harmony and understanding. AND for what it's worth.................I HAVE MANY MUSLIM FRIENDS WHO I GREATLY RESPECTED AND RESPECT ALL MY LIFE AND RIGHT NOW TOO. I even celebrate Ramadan and Eid sometimes with them. ~~~~~~~Sincerely & Respectfully, Ms. Victoria Mary Stong(a FOREVER alcohol-free, smoke-free & drug-free woman!)/ Humanitarian, 9/11 Family Member, Former Volunteer 1st Responder & Ground Zero Worker, F.D.N.Y.

No. 2,318: "Do not compel us to hate with non muslim"...because of a drawing? This insanity called islam really has to be wiped out of this world - brainwashed, ignorant, stupid followers of the pedophile so-called prophet muhammad think they can dictate the free world what to do to cartoonists, whilst they are totally indifferent to terrorist killings. Especially killings of judes and christians. If there is a reason to hate anything/anybody, the discusting evil of islam and its followers are the natural target of hate!

"It's against islam"....so what? We are not muslims/islamists (same thing) so don't try to impose your rediculous dogmas on everyone else! Just because your narrowminded world is based on this oppressive religion, the free world is NOT obliged to apply to this insanity! Get over it, you fools!

as i am a muslim,i go by my islamic law not to reveal our prophets pic because no one knows how he was and moreover if it is also some people wil start worshipping him instead of our one and only creator,ALLAH SUBHANATHALLA.i mean some people not all.already many people dont understand how wonderful religion islam is! and moreover it wil only lead to big controversy.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW)is sacred for 1 billion muslims and showing of his pictures is a sin. I strongly protest this foolish act and demand immidiate removal of this rubbish from wikipedia and elsewhere.Keeping and showing the same annoys all muslims of the world and is not good for world peace.

The great muslim author Rashid al-Din showed MOHAMMADs (PBUH) face hundreds of years ago. And now some filthy immams call this harram?! Maybe because they prefer to show their own face on TV every day instead of our holy prophet? Only the freedom to see the beauty of the true islam and feel its meaning in our hearts will make us overcome the false prophets.
