Oh yeah I am waiting for Ultra N to grow up too. It's amazing how some people manage to offend so many.
Ultra N i am a Muslim and i don't have a problem having a teddy bear called muhammad now get over it.
To answer your question I agree with you that this is hate talk and not freedom of speech but also we should only defend without feeling too offended because there are many people who do not believe in God and therefore don't believe in prophets. But I am as Muslim feel that it is our duty that we should defend ALL prophets (obviously in a peaceful way) because we believe in all of them

Edit- by the way we are not anti-judaism we are anti nazis and anti zionists because they are treating the Palestinians the same way Nazis used to treat jews.

(Take an advice from me Dalia don't even start reading what Ultra N has to say because you are going to feel very, very sick :)

i agree with you they should all be respected

I don't think it has anything to do with freedom of speech. But it certainly has to with respect and tolerance for what people believe in. What ever it is that they believe in. Same for all people. Sadly here in YA I don't think any will find that basic human respect from some.

Imagine Ultra running around the streets mad and going up to Muslims and saying nasty things about Mohammad(pbuh) . Even I don't think he would do that. He saves it for here in YA where no one can get him..lol..Peace!

edit Ultra: kids will be kids....we'll all just wait for you to grow up then. Peace!

Good job reporting that free lancer. No respect what so ever for anything that is more important than him... oh well that would be everything I guess. That explains alot. And I will tell you he is not the only one with these disgusting traits. That is not freedom of speech, that is hate talking. Control yourself, because I will tell you all of you who have the same example, your support will end and you will have to deal with your problems solely. Help from us Americans won't be around for the likes of you.

I think we should all be respectful towards each other in all matters; religious, ideaological, etc.
PEACE!

You can't call David daoud. And you can't belittle him by not using a capitol letter in the beginning of his name. This too is offending, his name was the one given to him by his parents, there is no translation to a name, same for Avraham, Hagar, Yeshu etc.
The Bible was written in Hebrew with vowels, no too ways about it, stop picking on every little thing address issues.

David was not merely king and ruler, he was also a prophet. "The spirit of the Lord hath spoken by me and his word by my tongue" SO RESPECT....

I agree. Earlier today I asked a question about the Mormon
prophet, and I got some really nasty answers. It's like some people just don't hold anything sacred. But that's the internet for you, some people are just naive and rude.

It is absolutely freedom of speech: the same freedom of speech enjoyed by the anti-Israel people on this forum who say horrible things about me, Jews, and Israelis.

Why should one respect ANY religion or prophet??? Religions have been the cause for more wars than not...and why would you report people for insulting a person who has been dead these last 1400 years??? Do you really think the dead care? It's funny...I haven't heard of radical Christians running around rioting and killing people every time some one shouts god damm...yet...it seems you have to treat one particular religion with kid gloves lest some lunatic be offended and feel the need to blow themselves up(along with a bunch of Innocent people.)

And Yes...it has eveything to do with free speech, I am under no obligation to be nice to anyone in concerns thier odd beliefs...if I'm wrong and I am offending a god then I'm sure the god can tell me so...I'm reasonably sure that no god be he/she Jewish, Muslim, Christian (funny you all proport to worship the SAME god...yet you kill each other because your books (books written by MAN) have a number of minor differences)) would condone the killing of inoccent people...whether they happen to be spouting the same dogma as you or not shouldn't matter! I'm sure that in the eyes of pretty much any god, murder is murder and if you happen to beleive in that sort of thing then it is common sense and not much of a reach to reason that commiting murder of "infidels" is just as bad as killing your mother or father...either way if I'm understanding the most ancient teachings...murder is bad...you don't go to heaven, you don't get 72 virgins, you go to hell...now whether that's the physical burning place or simply to be cast from the gods sight for all eternity either sounds pretty bad...but hey...thats just me exercising my 1st amendment right...

Freedom of speech does not mean "respect". It means freedom of speech that offends. Apple-pie recipes and bland non-statements that don't offend anyone never needed defending, anyway. If you can't uphold the right to speak of someone whose opinion you don't like, you can't claim to respect free speech.

One person's prophet is another person's dead man. You may consider someone a prophet, but that does not mean other people should follow the same religious principles. (Gee, are you gonna report me too?) Personally, I don't care what religion anybody practices. You could be a Wiccan, a Pastafarian -- what you do on your own time does not concern me. I don't care about your religion or anyone else's, I just DON'T CARE. Whatever you believe, you don't get any special consideration from me on the basis of religion. That's as much "respect" as anyone gets from me based on their religion alone. For, philosophically, I find it incomprehensible why something should be respected just because it exists. Thus, when you start shoving YOUR religion down someone else's throat and demanding "respect" for your beliefs just because you have them -- that's a problem as far as freedom of speech is concerned.

"Respect", moreover, is a vague term. Some people feel that anyone who refuses to convert to their religion is insulting them, and should not only be reported, but killed. "Freedom of speech" among such people entails little choice, doesn't it? Then, of course, is the problem of numerous people in this section who think that offending prophets is a no-no, but posting a "Jewish conspiracy" question on Shabbat is perfectly acceptable -- showing that those who reach for the report button because they are offended in their religious sentiment have much weaker scruples when it comes to someone else's faith.

Being reported for saying ANYTHING contrary to someone's religious doctrine does not leave us much "freedom of speech" here. Think about the symbolism of what you are doing, too: the distance between reporting people for "offending the prophet" and chopping off people's heads is shorter than you think.

HIS!

I'm not sure what you're talking about. But if someone doesn't consider Mohammed a true prophet of God, then everything they say will be offensive. The fact is that all religions offend all others except probably the Jewish faith and Christian faith seem to be able to coexist in peace. Your thinking isn't making much sense to me.

The problem is very easy for you to state because all of the Jewish prophets are holy in Christianity and Islam as well.

We are not the ones who highjack your religious teachings then beat you over the head about what backwards, wayward liars you are. Actually you would never hear so much as a mumble from a Jew if you weren't so intent on destroying our spiritual heritage and identity.

And so we are supposed to acknowledge the 'prophets' you claim so holy (and practically worship----what riots or death threats have been started since someone made a joke about Moses or Elijah)?

By the way, if we are such disgusting, disrespectful perverters of truth------why are the teachings we keep so important to other religions anyway?

I don't see Moe as a prophet, more a blood thirsty child molester, and warrior my butt. While he set around perverting the scrolls, his wife made him a living.
I think he is worthy of the world's derision.
Now that is free speech , and for once I agree with Ultra, if you can't hack it, go back to your dune and play with your Teddy Bear. named after a great American prophet, Theodore.

I don't think it's "ok." I think it's "fair", seeing as how much of the Islamic world is anti-Judaism and anti-Christian.

Whoo!

Why would you report someone? You can't stand hearing the truth? Yeah, you're exactly like your people. And your religion does steal everyone's people. It really does. Why don't you go make up your own prophets right now? I want to name the first one. How about... Hahahapoopoo! I like it!

This is understandable to come from the Jews, after all they disgrace their own prophetsâ€¦.
