Cartoon’s (World News)
What was soppose to be considered to sum as a funny way to express their opinion in cartoon form over many political issues. Has caused many deadly protests in the mulism world due to the reason that musliums are ”against the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in Western newspapers” (Times Union) . The cartoonsthat orignally appeared where “published in September by a Danish paper,[and]…..have since been reprinted by other media mostly in Europe”(Times Union) .
Thus “the Muslims have been outraged because Islamic tradition bars any depiction of the prophet to prevent idolatry. Under Pakistani laws, insulting the prophet or Islam’s holy book, the Quran, can be punished by death” (Times Union) .
In my opinon I do not see it as wrong to make a cartoon out of a political issues especially if it is making you think about the particular topic at hand. Although the protestors have a right to argue against it they should not be burning flags and killing people over political cartoons.
