The first post in
this thread has a link to the cartoons.
Islamic dogma forbids any depiction of the Prophet Mohammed. (hope I spelled that right) I think the purpose was to prevent any kind of idol worship.
They believe that Allah should recieve worship, not a man who Allah chose to send messages through.
However; people who are not Islamic follow a different dogma. Screaming and burning are not the ways to settle the problem. Islamic leaders should
instead send requests to cease printing depictions of their Prophet; because it offends an entire religious group. (sigh)
