Talk:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

Why cant we see the images of Muhammad on Wikipedia?

...because none exist!

Well, there you are. It's a low-res picture though, as it is easier to justify fair use then. — Peter L <talk|contribs> 14:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Muhammad paintings in historic perspective

Well my main source for that paragraph was my religion teacher who showed us painting from Shi'a muslim books, but I can't remember the names of the books. I've tried to search the web and found some pages containing pictures of the Prophet Muhammad:

• Other pictures of Muhammad
• Pictures at Commons

I'll try to look up some more sources through the weekend...

'Pictures' at commons shall not be published as Pictures of Mohammad because it is probited in Islam to depict the Prophet. Also, some of the paintings either carry inaccurate details (aside from showing Muhammad's face (sAaws)) or represent events that has not been mentioned in the Quran (e.g. remove a dragon ?!)

It would be much appreciated if these paintings and visualizations of prophet Mohammad are no longer shared or spread in respect to our religion, Islam.

thank you Omernos

The articel states: "In addition, later interpretations of the Koran have forbidden muslims to make paintings of the prophet."

• 1 - How does this relate to a newspaper making images of him?? What is the relevance? The newspaper is hardly muslim.
• 2 - Could you provide some sources for that statement? Prefferable from the Quran. A human 02:12, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Well the Quran does not specificialy state that drawings are illegal, as far as I know, but the Old Testemony has a law against drawings. The source of the statement is my religion teacher, I'll try and ask him for some more soureces...Snailwalker 09:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The name of the article

I think the name of the article should be something more specific. --128.214.205.4 08:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

ICJ

"The case is now being brought to the International Court of Justice."

What case? What is the specific violation of international law that would be basis for a case before the ICJ and who would bring it? I'm removing this, probably just a part of this campaign of misinformation against Denmark. --Bjarki 12:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Opinions in Denmark

I live in denmark, and first off I'd say it's hard to say that there is such a thing as a "General Oppinion" to be found among the public concerning this subject. I think that statement should be reconsidered.

Secondly, there is evidence that the online poll from Epinion for DR was manipulated, probably by muslims, but I won't draw any too fast conclusions. They received 20,000 votes between a saturday night to the next sunday morning, which is something never experienced before. Such a great number of votes online is highly unlikely, considering that the danish population count is below 5.5 millions.

At last, I just read in a danish newspaper that both the danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen along with Jyllands-Posten apologized for the drawings. --Akuen 16:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
