What one person counts as insult is not necessarily what another person or mohammed himself counts as insult..

brothers am a Christian, but if u listen to the under tune of this post , is just to escalate and rebel our togetherness during this trial times in our dear country by those religious biggots... be u Christian or Muslim, humanity has brought us, and one nation gather us together... Christianity is a religion of faith, cus we never saw but we believe, Islam is a religion of peace as portray by prophet Muhammad.. let's not get divided along religious lines... together we will take back what belongs to us, together we will make Naija great again

It's OK friend, I just aired my view, the killing is unjust, why can't you condemn that?..

Happy Friday, stay well.

Killing as a result of provocation does not deserve any sort of condemnation.
The teacher knew what he was dealing with.

We don't support killing as a whole,but when you go beyond the allowed limits don't expect apologise from me when one of us is unable to control his rage for disrespecting his belief.

Thanks for the concern.

Muslims uniting in terrorism since the year 00BC


I am yet to see a Christian beheading a Muslim because of ordinary cartoon of Jesus, neither have I seen all Christians and Christain nations coming together to support and defend an act of terror carried against any Muslim in the name of Christianity.

Muslims, I fear who no fear una.

First, I do not believe in this Religion.

Second, you spent more than five paragraphs demonizing 'unchecked' freedom of speech but paid little or no attention to taking laws into our hands, condemnation of the cruel decapitation, premeditated murder and....

Third, you and your likes are cancerous to humanity.

Finally, May pieces be upon you and whomever you follow or that follows you in this murderous venture.

Freedom of expression is freedom FROM insult, NOT freedom TO insult!


Each faith community feels a deep-rooted emotional attachment to the symbols and personalities it reveres. Muslims are no different.

The value system of Islam is underpinned by respect and reverence – reverence for the Almighty, for all the Messengers of the Almighty – including the Prophets Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all), the angels, the holy scriptures, the holy cities, religious symbols and places of worship, and respect for elders, teachers, leaders, religious scholars, parents, the elderly etc.

Depicting images of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is strictly forbidden in Islam. The rationale for the prohibition, inter alia, of depicting the Prophet (peace be upon him) is that he was too sublime to be truly portrayed. Furthermore, attempts at portraying him could result in his image being distorted. There are therefore no records of any authentic image or portrait of him anywhere in the world, from any period of Islamic history, which is a significant point of note.

Any attempt to depict the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in illustration is an attempt to depict the sacrosanct, which is not allowed. The nature of cartoons is to satirise and trivialise. This is clearly not acceptable in the case of a personality who is held in the highest esteem by almost 2 billion people globally.

Irrespective of what the motive is for the repeated publishing and displaying of these blasphemous cartoons – whether for cheap publicity, political gains, deliberate provocation, or due to sheer ignorance – it is grossly offensive and highly insensitive and will always be rejected by all people of morality with the contempt it deserves!

Muslims accept the principle of constructive freedom of expression, but not the freedom to wantonly insult, which is sometimes deviously and deceptively masqueraded as freedom of expression. True freedom of expression is freedom FROM insult, not freedom TO insult! Freedom to insult has ultimately resulted in hatred, bigotry and even destruction. Humour that is disrespectful, insensitive and offensive, is not humour, but is in fact hubris.

But when Muslims object, the stock response is that they do not appreciate freedom of expression. The media and others view this as an infringement of the right of freedom of speech. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is that no right is absolute; there are inherent limitations. Every right is counterbalanced against other rights. Every right has to be exercised with utmost responsibility.
The blatant hypocrisy of certain leaders in the application of freedom of speech is glaringly visible for the world to see! Whilst they harp on the promotion of freedom of speech, they are intolerant of any criticism of themselves or things that are dear to them. So much for freedom of speech!

Muslim leaders and masses would be justifiably outraged and enraged by this act of profanity. This could even precipitate protests and boycotts. The worldwide anger and outpouring of objections has made it amply clear that Muslims will never accept disrespect to the Prophet (peace be upon him) or whatever else is deemed sacred to them. Despite this open provocation, Muslims are urged to follow the noble example of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) in the kind, tolerant and forgiving manner he dealt with his enemies and continued to invite them to the Path of Guidance.

Rilwayne001:
The western hypocrisy is obvious. Freedom of expression should never be freedom to play and hurt people's feelings. These whites are just mad and really taunting. You cannot be deliberate in provoking and taunting other people's freedom and expect a really genuine freedom for yourself, it really doesn't work that way.

Albeit I condemn any form of killings and violence, but these western people are just plain evil with their hypocrisy.

It's their country. You should respect their laws.

let one thing be clear, the more you come and say don't insult our prophet, the more people are tempted to insult him more.

Let me drop a line here:

Had they shove their spirit of openness and shun every thing Muslim, this nonsense and idiotism wouldn't be a thing for them.

Can anyone behead someone in China without getting nuked to the ground?
The french should expunged all useless muslim fanatics from their land.

How can u escape ur miserable muslim country and enter a country where freedom of expression is a basic right and still have the guts to stab non muslims?


If they so much value their prophet they should all stay in Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Yemen
