So, this is my plea to all Western editors and producers: Display the Muhammad cartoon daily, until the Islamists become accustomed to the fact that we turn sacred cows into hamburger.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think lot of Muslims have gotten fatigued by the way Muslim characters, even 'positive' ones, are portrayed in the media.
Contrary to what many Westerners believe, Islam has a rich tradition of secular painting in spite of its ban on images. It is only in religious rituals that the use of pictorial representation is totally prohibited.
Again and again, when Westerners are perceived as denigrating Muhammad, the Koran, or Islam, Islamists demonstrate, riot or kill.
I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.
Sacred cows make the tastiest hamburger.
I'm a comedian who happens to be Muslim; my comedy stems on all forms of my identity.
Ninety percent of the comic books I've written in the past had little or nothing to do with Islam.
I'd like Muslims to look at their religion as a set of beliefs that they can appraise critically and pick and choose from.
It's patently impossible for a Muslim character to represent 'all Muslims.'
We've seen violent responses to 'Satanic Verses.' We've seen violent responses to the cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in an evil way.
