Wow... I thought that this was strange:

Seven people have been arrested in the Republic of Ireland over a suspected plot to kill a Swedish artist who portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a dog and had a $100,000 Al Qaeda bounty on his head.

Anti-terrorist units used information from the CIA, FBI and European intelligence agencies to identify the suspected terrorist cell of three women and four men. They are believed to include Algerian, Libyan, Croatian, U.S. and Palestinian citizens and at least one naturalized Irish citizen.

They were arrested in Cork and Waterford after a four-month international investigation.

The artist, Lars Vilks, has received death threats this year and was forced to go into hiding after his depictions of the Prophet were printed in a Swedish newspaper in 2007.

After the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was threatened by a Somali axeman in January, Vilks said he had received calls from “a Swedish-speaking Somali” who said: “Now it’s your turn.”

Goodness, get a grip people.

I can understand how the ilsamic religionists would be insulted at that drawing. It may have been unwise for that artist to draw it, but he decided to do it.

What I also find stupid is how people of a religion who clames to be based on love and submission feel it right to murder somone over an insulting drawing. Muslism believe in Jesus who said to "love your neighbour as yourself", in Moses who showed God dissaproved of murder (thou shalt not murder), and their most highly respected prophet Mohammad himself admonished them in his last sermon: "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you."

So these finatical religionists are violating what the prophet who they are trying to "avenge" taught; all the while plunging a religion who is supposibly based on love farther and farther away from it's fundametal teachings of peace.

I agree with everything you said except the last statement about it being a peaceful religion.

It is not a peaceful religion. Some of it's teachings may say to be peaceful but the religion is no longer one of peace.

Which is why I'm not surprised by the actions of a lot of the members of the religion.

I do see what you mean, and I thought about it before posting.

The religion in general is full of bloodshed and war, however the theory and ethics primarily are not of violence. Maybe I should edit and clarify.
