Europe's Defamation of the Prophet
J @ M @ L:
What are you talking about "make it up"?
All I was showing you is they're able to create such images without the printing press.
Jome:
You tried to prove that Europeans did it before the press was invented, when it was in fact taken from the Koran, no wonder you didn't post a link. You're beating a dead horse.

What the hell are you smoking? There are no images in the Qur'an. The Europeans translated the Qur'an and included such images in it. Do you get it?

lol! checkmate!
--- Quote ---Illustration depicting a schematized Mohammed from an early medieval Latin translation of the Koran
--- End quote ---
the caption on the image states that the image is a "caricature", and the summary calls the image schematic, suggesting that it is so simplistic it could have been interpretted as an insult. we are now talking about a derogatory image placed within a latin translation of the qu'ran itself. it doesn't get any more disrespectful than that.
Jome:
The koran is of no interest to me, but since it is to you:
--- Quote ---Medieval and Renaissance Christian and secular artists had no religious restrictions regarding depictions of Mohammed, and were free to show his face and body in their entirety.

Besides, it happened in 1162... uhhhhh, get over it ? Time to move on ?
On a newer note, an Egyptian newspaper printed the Mohammed caricatures back in October 2005, it obviously wasn't offensive then..
UNTIL this Danish Imam managed to shake up the muslim community with his picture book, when he brought the book to a Islam Conference in December 2005:
Danish imam Ahmed Akkari, to the left with his picture book, which also includes pictures from a French pig lookalike contest, for unknown(!!??) reasons:
"Organisation of the Islamic Conference" (IOC) in December 2005:
Why did they make a big deal out it ??
There was no interest in the pictures before this meeting, even though the pictures had already been printed in several countries, including one of Egypts biggest newspapers Al Fagr, Islam being the state religion in Egypt, where 90% or more of the population are muslims!!!
Al-Fagr, October 17th 2005:
It wasn't offensive since it was printed in a muslim country ??
You can preach all you want about Europes crusade against Islam, and the root of all evil blah blah, but it was muslim leaders who actually turned the worlds attention to these caricatures, and also turned the attention towards pictures of these pictures of a French pig contest:
WTF.
If it had not been for these Danish imams, and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, the world would never even have heard, much less seen, these caricatures.
