Dear Sir,
We were extremely offended not only as Muslims but as humans by the cartoons that were published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten portraying the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in what we believe as a stereotypical unfounded offensive imagery. Prophet Muhammad not only was a messenger, but he also embodied and exemplified universal human values that no Muslim, Christian or Jew could disagree upon. We believe that attacking the person of the prophet in such, a stereotypical generalized way, is an attack on these human values themselves. Therefore we are not only recording here our outrage as Arabs Muslims but also as Arab Christians and humans. Finally, it is not an Islamic act to counter-attack with an equally offensive response; we only have one remark to make, no Muslim will ever portray Jesus Christ in an equally insulting way, because we believe in him as a messenger who too embodied universal human values, neither will we ever offend Moses or any other messenger of God, or even a respectable great man like Ghandi for example. These great men, we believe, were rarely if ever subject to such a public offense such as that targeted at the person of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). We believe that the above mentioned newspaper has broken an unwritten code of common respect to long valued human foundations. It is unwritten, because it is a universal law, that was not imagined to be broken in such an outrageous manner, and not only do we demand an apology to the Muslim community but to the human community as a whole.

- Thank you for initiating all that, and for your wise words, anger is not one of our characteristics as Muslims and I think you proved that. Thank you again.
