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.
