Does no one care anymore?
Okay so I'm just plain infuriated at the moment. And I probably shouldn't be posting anything close to political or religious issues on here but I'm overly irritated and need to vent. This is about the Prophet Mohammad cartoons and if you don't want to hear it, I'd suggest hitting the 'Back' button immediately.As some of you would know, although probably not as many as I'd hoped to be following the current world issues, a cartoon mockery of the Prophet Mohammad has been drawn. I will not go into excruciating detail but the messenger of Allah was drawn with a bomb in replacement for the turban on his head in September of last year by a person by the name of Delize.
On the one hand; an apology was needed. If anyone has recently checked CNN, this is put in comparison to how the cartoon publication of the Nazi genocide against the Jewish people during WWII would affect us. There would definitely be an enormous reaction to that, and what they're saying is that the cartoon mockery of the Prophet Mohammad is as horrifying to them as the cartoon mockery of the Nazi genocide. Denmark has desecrated something sacred to them.
On the other hand; the backlash is exceedingly harsh. The reaction the world is suffering from shouldn't be this bad. Compare it to this: if someone drew a cartoon of say... your mother (terrible comparison, I know) in a disturbing way, would you be offended? Understandably, yes. And if they didn't apologize would you... kill them? That's the problem with the backlash. Both sides are wrong in their own way: there should have been an attempt at an apology but there shouldn't be so much harm coming to people over this.
Now although I remain undecided on this and sitting on the fence at the moment, one thing is clear: people do not deserve to die over one person’s mistake. Several persons, even, if you include the other papers that published it. It’s an insult to me as a human being to know that a cartoon can send this many people into an uproar enough to pull the Danish people out of their embassies and murder them. I am not racist. I think the cartoon was very wrong and a very crude thing to do, but the only person in need of being punished for that is Delize. Innocents are dying and the guilty are not. Something is very wrong with this picture and something should be done. World peace is something that would only exist in a utopian society, I know, and as long as competition, racism, fear and hate reign in our world, it will never be so. Something needs to change.
Leave as many angry comments as you would like, I’d actually like to hear people’s opinions on this considering I’ve probably just offended both sides of this event. If it gets too bad, though, I will delete it. So please use discretion.

It's a good day to sit back on your heels and plan for the future. You'll have the urge to chart out a map for the next five years, but you might have to scale back. Not everything can be determined in advance.
