How is this offensive?

Okay guys so I found this video and a lot of people think it is offensive.. 
  
  

cuz Muhammad is more sacred than anything ever

I believe it is against the Islamic faith to have any dcepictions of Muhammed.

You're kidding right? You really don't know?
 
Muslims believe you're not supposed to depict Muhammad. At all. Which this does... I think. It suggests with the title it does. I dunno, if you watch the news you'll realise that some of them are extremely touchy.

You can't ask why. 
 
Religions have crazy rules, don't question them.

Jesus wants Muhammad's "Cock".

" @Yukoei:  We live in a world where people, like my grandmother, believe all white people will go to hell because they are white. This is just the icing of the cake. "

Don't mess with Muslims, man.  They'll "warn" you.

" @Yukoei:  We live in a world where people, like my grandmother, believe all white people will go to hell because they are white. This is just the icing of the cake. "

Cos Muhammed's a dick and doesn't like to have fun.
 
How's that for offensive?!
 
Also on a sidenote, what about Muhammed fanfics... are they permitted? I wanna read "Muhammed meets Ebert" or "Why Muhammed believes videogames are art".

Religion's bad, m'kay?

Because it's a god to a huge percentage of the world. "

Because religion is dumb. End of discussion.

But so is Jesus/God which people love to make fun of and as a Catholic I don't get all super angry about it. "

because making fun of Muhammed is the second worse thing you can do... the first is making fun of Nintendo of course

Speaking of which, this Thursday is Draw Muhammad Day. As for the video.....I'm not even sure it has a point, let alone if it offends anybody.

Its very offensive.

To be honest I think religion now is just bullshit in general, a set of beliefs and rules that are constantly getting changed from the original.  
but that's just me, I hardly know anything about religion.

because muslims are still in the stage of where christians used to be in the middle ages where the pope would have anyone killed if they slandered god and jesus or even showed anything of them they would take as offensive.

I suggest everyone watches Thunderfoot's videos on Youtube, he makes some pretty good points.

Just to clarify, Mohammad isn't a God to anyone. He's supposed to be the last prophet, whereas (to contrast) Jesus is God in Christianity. I'm stepping a bit out of my element here, but I think Jesus is supposed to be a prophet in Islam as well. 
 
As for why people get offended: Fundamentalists are not reasonable people. Luckily, free societies allow for people to be reasonable.

Because if you saw him, then you could judge him.  You could question the faith.  You could disagree.  You could think peripherally.  We all know no one wants that. "

" Muslims don't consider Mohammad to be God/Allah, to them both Mohammad and Jesus were Prophets (among others).  One of the reasons Mohamed is revered more than the others is he is the one that God revealed the Qur'an to "

   Muslims don't consider Mohammad to be God/Allah, to them both Mohammad and Jesus were Prophets (among others).  One of the reasons Mohamed is revered more than the others is he is the one that God revealed the Qur'an to (via the angel Gabriel) and is held up as a role model as to how one should behave.  As to why the depiction of Mohammad is generally frowned upon, it is to avoid the idolatry of him, ie the image of the man becoming more important than the message.

Because of fanboys

sigh... too many people understand so little about foreign cultures. It's crap like this that cause wars, y'know?

The only thing that is offensive about that video is that it's awful and not in anyway entertaining or funny.

 a role model as to how one should behave. "

Religion is evil.
I'll draw whatever I want.

And this I still don't understand. Do people seriously consider him to be a ROLE model? So we should all go out and molest children? "

Mods wake up and  lock this thread before it turns ugly.

it's because they can't see him or something like that. you don't question religion... it's a rule for religion. it can say eat a penis and a religion people would eat a penis.

Stop with these thread they never end well and amount to nothing
