I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…

Every possible mistake

We have to realize that irony and criticize of prophets in the secular west are acceptable and tolerated. Let us remember the prominent statement of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who said "God is dead"
We have many examples related to this issue like:
Monty Pythons movie "Life of Brian" about Jesus, "the Da Vinci Code" or Mel Brooks’s movie "History of the World" regarding Moses.

Hereby, I never justify the stigma of the Danish caricatures, rather than I am just explaining the racist behavior of those cartoons, what I wanna say is that –as usual- we were in the wrong battle at the wrong time; how is that? We objected the Danish cartoons saying that "they were a racist offence against the person of the Prophet Mohammed" in this case we gave our priority to Islam instead of Muslims.
We are mostly focusing on th
