Alright so this is funny. There is a cartoonist that makes a Muhammad cartoon which a Danish newspaper carries. Now this is bad for Muslims for a couple of reasons. First it is a picture of their prophet and this is a no-no. Second it has him in funny situations, one of which is him wearing a turban that is a bomb.
Why do I think this is funny? Well the Danish newspaper and the artist are getting threats like mad for it. Seems they have upset some people. But let me ask you this. If the hard line fundamentalist Muslims are upset by this then why do they do what they do? You see, in Islamic laws and traditions, including the Sharia, their Holy Law, It is a sin to do a lot of the things that fundamentalists do.
What are these things, you might ask. Well for starters committing suicide is a very bad sin. Funny enough there are distinctions in Islamic law between putting one self in harms way for God, and actually committing suicide for him, seems the later is a sin that, according to Muhammad, puts you in hell repeating exactly what you did to kill yourself.
There are also laws covering Jihad. One of which is that all prisoners must be treated fairly...HAHA funny Muslim. Another is that Women and Children cannot be harmed. We'll sorry mister suicide bomber, I suppose thats two reasons your going to hell. I guess that we cant make jokes about suicide bombers and their 72 virgins anymore since the only virgins they have in hell are probably the ones that take away your virginity.
Now, one might look at this and think that it is alright to hurt and even kill women and children if it is for serving God. Well, again no. You see, according to Islamic tradition and laws Muslim women cant even be killed for renouncing their faith. For men doing this is death, but according to Islam women do not know better and therefore can be lashed and imprisoned, but not killed. Hmm, I suppose that the unfair gender practices workout after all.
This is just a couple of things I have stumbled upon recently, if you want to learn more just read "The Crisis of Islam" by Bernard Lewis, or check out some of the other resources about Islamic law on the Net.
