Completely different; posting pictures of Muhammed is offensive to Muslims -- the same cannot be said for Jesus and Christians. :|
I'm talking more in the general sense of the touchy-feely treatment that Islam gets. Besides...

That is only because He worried that people would start worshipping him rather than God. I think that is quite respectful if you ask me.Â

Well maybe Muslims can follow that example and stop taking their religion so freaking seriously. I mean, come on.

Care to explain why you think so?[QUOTE="NoSpeakyEnglish"][QUOTE="Silverbond"]Your related to Muhammad? Then tellme, are you a Shi'a or Sunni/Sunna?SilverbondI'm actually nothing cuz I don't really believe that God is a good guy. And what does a persons faith have to do with being related to him or not? Are you related to Muhammad, because any person related to him should know the answer. Ali or Abu Bakr?You dont know what you are talking about.
If you are related to muhammad than you are called a "syed".Your islamic sect has nothing to do with it.
[QUOTE="Chutebox"]Yeah... those double standards annoy me. We should all decide to mock everyone or no one.

That's because they are different religions, not double standards.If it was Jesus then it's ok.
Making fun of Christians is ok.
Posting a picture of Muhammad not ok!Â

every religion "promotes" peace. i look at what followers actually do.
i'm not saying that every muslim is bad, or even that the religion is bad. every religion can be good if followed properly.
but, there are people that hate muslims, and quite frankly how intolerant and backwards muslim society is just escapes me.
Funky_Llama
what do you mean by backwords?
Outdated... stuck in the past... not progressive... the meaning is obvious.Care to explain?:|[QUOTE="Thinker_reborn"]He's our prophet as well and no muslim makes fun of jesus.[QUOTE="-Y2J-"]firstly, those are interpretations of what muhammed(pbuh) might have looked like, they not accurate, secondly chrisitans make fun of jessus(pbuh) themselves. if a muslim ever makes fun of jesus(pbuh) this is wrong and tell them it's our prophet aswell.Funky_Llama
But regardless christians themselves make fun of jesus so who would they complain anyways.
Look at the passion of christ LOL whereas muhammad was only shown in first person with no voice acting in the movie on Islam.
Christians dont even have any respect for their own God,why should anyone bother about their feelings!!
I daresay that quite a large proportion of the Christian community are really quite fond of God. >_>I am pretty sure almost every christian who watches movies watched the passion of the chirst right?And wait isnt the movie itself made by christians?Really that's the respect christians have for their God?
The bottom line is this.
If someone is not a Muslim, they have no obligation whatsoever to obey or follow the Muslim beliefs. It's really that ******* simple.

 Your using Mel Gibson as the average christian? I'm not religious myself, so I can not judge. But I can assure you, there are some very god fearing christias out there. Plenty of extremists too... On the other side, I know there are plenty of moderate muslims out there...

Actually, I'm not even obligated to do that.
But I do actually respect their beliefs. The problem we're having here is that the line between respecting and following those beliefs has gotten far too blurred.
