| spurgeonryan said: I do not understand what the big deal is. Christians are mocked all the time. Jesus and God are mocked almost daily! Why is it that Muslims are so angry? Why is it not allowed to mock Islam, but it is perfectly fine to mock Christianity? I have not seen this video yet, all I keep finding in the news is: Can Obama bridge rift with Muslim world?
Speaking of that, how are we going to calm the Muslim world down? Things are out of control! |
It is not that mocking Islam is "not allowed" and mocking Christianity is "allowed". If you look into the countries that had uproars (Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Sudan, etc...) you will see that they were either politically unstable, poor, or had serious security issues. They were in a state of uproar in the first place and some were facing decades of oppression, poverty, and even bombed by the US, all recipes that cause violence to very easily ignite.
And NO! It is not justified for Muslims to kill. Murdering a single innocent human soul in Islam is likened to murdering all of humanity. The video makers are TROLLING (as Mr Khan has mentioned) because they know these people will react violently (EXACTLY what a troll wants to acheive). The best way to treat a troll is to ignore him and not make such a big deal out of it. Even the Quran mentions that mockery should be ignored.
