@ highwaster101: Depicting any prophet through imagery is considered haram, so drawing the prophet could be conjointly be seen as being attacked, look most people will let this slide and continue what their doing but there are some who will feel that way.

@ Mr Khan: Extremists in every form are hard to boil down history has told us this, so slowly desensitizing it is the best way.

But I'm not part of a religion, why should any religious doctrines apply to me? If I draw Muhammad should it be considered haraam? Should it be forbidden for me to do so, even though I am not a Muslim?

And this is exactly what annoys me. There are those out there (granted they are a minority, but they still exist) who think that their religious doctrines should apply to me.

Let me rephrase it is considered haram for muslims, but it could be a sign of disrespect. That's why I believe there could of been a simpler more considerate way of looking at it, fine you want to take away extremists who doesn't? It will still annoy the normal muslim which I believe is wrong.

 

Look having Kantor, Mr Khan and Highwaster101 is a bit too much for me to handle.

I've just noticed you called me Highwaster in your last post, is that a joke or a mistake?

Anyway, even so, you may consider it disrespectful, as do many Muslims. But these extremists actually believe that I should be forbidden from drawing Muhammad, they believe their religious doctrines should apply to me. If it is considered Haraam only for Muslims, then it should not apply to me, yet some people think it should. You can see why I'm not happy.

I don't oppose Islam in any form, and I certainly don't want to cause offence and I'm sorry if I do. If you watch my video I've tried to make sure that it is aimed at the extremists who don't want me to draw Muhammad as opposed to the moderate Muslims.

And lot's of things cause offence, but that's the price you pay for freedom of speech. The BNP really offend me, but I will happily let them offend me because it is their right, I just expect that I get the same right in return. And I believe that occasionally being offended is a price worth paying for freedom of speech.

 

Trust me it was just a mistake, but after looking at it I found it kinda funny (;P)
