Islamic scholars say that any portrayal of Mohammed must be avoided since it could lead to idolatry. Well they don't edit this blog. See we have freedom of speech here in America. From time to time we get offended, but we don't cut a person's head off for it.
The Muslim world regularly publishes anti-Semitic and anti-Israel cartoons. I can not begin to count the amount of cartoons that routinely appear in the Arab press, which poke fun at the 9/11 attacks and the Holocaust.
One would hope that leaders of Arab and Muslim countries would turn all of the anger into a larger lesson. It is past the time for Muslims to decry violence to refute such depictions. Instead of taking the to streets in a voilent rage, buring flags and proving the point of the cartoon.
This offends me, but you don't see me rioting in the streets.

Wasn't it an Islamic group in Denmark who made 3 more cartoons and distributed them in the Middle-East to encourage more anti-freedom sentiment and to add 'evidence' to the cartoons that did get published?
Now that's hipocracy - to call the cartoons (or any image of Mohammed) blasphemy and then to create some of your own as evidence.
