Why Muslims are so sensitive to images of Prophet being used BASHIR MAAN MUSLIMS hold the Prophet in such high respect and reverence that he is only after God. He is regarded more respectfully than one's parents.
Believers think of him as the prefect human being in the world.
Islam forbids images of anybody. Images are forbidden in the Koran. There are many verses in the Koran which condemn worshipping idols. From that we draw that idols are paintings and pictures, and particularly pictures of the Prophet.
There were no paintings in his life of how he looked. There are descriptions of how he looked and explanations of his facial features, but no pictures. It is regarded as idolatrous.
That is the reason that the Prophet prohibited images in the house.
But the Prophet is more defended because of the respect and reverence that we have for him.
There are some people who say that photographs are acceptable because that is not a painting. They say that a photograph does not come into that category.
But, on the whole, Muslims do not like photographs or idols. Veneration starts from the photographs and causes idolatry.
It will never change because it covers everything. Islam is a way of life. It covers every aspect of human life. There is no room for innovation or changes there. Everything is proscribed.
The best thing is the template of the life of the Prophet.
Everything was written down, it was history. But there is no rigidity, there are no extremes in Islam, no right or left.
Those who protest can protest peacefully. As they have the right to print, so they have the right to protest.
There should not be any violence.
I don't think the pictures should have been published. It only widens the gulf between Islam and the West.
Maybe they don't appreciate the reverence Muslims have for the Prophet. Maybe it was mischievous of them.
No religious faith should be caricatured, because it will create offence.
This is an abuse of the freedom of expression.
Most of the people in Islamic countries are emotional because there is more illiteracy than literacy, and that is the reason why some people go to extremes.
That is why some people take it too far.
That is not good for Islam and not good for them.
I think there must be some sort of understanding between the West and Islam.

What a laugh
Maybe this is why?(a list of video links regarding Islam, Muslims and terrorists).

So why is it that the whackadoodles are always running around protesting with pictures of whatever murderous SOB happens to be in charge of their faction?
Nobody's prefect.
Yet they cannot handle a cartoon.
So is living among the infidels. What's this bozo's point? Muslims routinely violate one tenet of al-Quran, why not another one?
Yawn.
Because they worship a fake god. That or they have really small penises.
Why I don't give a damn.

We have images of Christ, although they are probably inaccurate, to remind is that while he was divine, was also human being. They claim that he was only a human being, but have no images, which suggests his face was also the face of God. Isn't that blasphemy?

Naw. It's muslim "leaders" who are "sensitive" to satire of the faith. If a little ray of light happens to get cast on the people-control gig they've got going, they're finished.
It is because they are religous biggots. I'm tired of feeling religous persecution from these mean people....
Ha,ha, just kidding. I love their religous persecution because the difference between Americans and Euroweanies is that we do not allow are people to be persecuted for their beliefs. The more these Muslims extremist push, the easier it will be to unload.
I love it when the enemy puts everything on the line right out in the open. Especially when they are as weak as an enemy as this group of thugs.
OK, so heres a photograph of the Prophet...
Nobody's gonna pick up on that.
True, for the weak of intellect and will.
