Probably an unfair question to you, since you're not one who riots, but if it's strictly prohibited in Islam to draw Jesus and the others you mention, why are there not riots, death threats and killings in response to their portrayals?
- chc 16y agoSame reason that killing a little kid will bring a lot more legal heat than killing a gangbanger — just because two things are strictly prohibited doesn't mean people respond to them equally.
- kloncks 16y agochc makes a lot of sense and brings up a nice point (see below or above?) another thing I can think of is this. portrayals of muhammad to this day, compared with those of jesus and others, have been fairly limited. there are cathedrals, paintings, murals, etc of jesus depicted with every skin color and body features. muhammad, on the other hand, isn't that much. but the concept of a drawn jesus, to most of the world, isn't a new thing at all. so if i were picking a fight...wouldn't i pick one where i don't automatically lose?
