I live in America. More than 99% of the users of this site and en.WP are from the the English speaking world and Europe. Muslims are a small and hard pressed minority in our society. They are easy to pick on and vilify. Almost no one will speak up if you do. I'm speaking up for my neighbors and countrymen who are Muslims.
I will speak up for Muslims, and for Arabs and for everybody who is discriminated against. I would have gladly gone to Iran or Syria to help people there to overcome murderous dictators, and
as I said above I do not believe there should be any images of the Prophet at all, if it hurts the feelings of Muslims, but I'd also say that Muslims should realize that the biggest enemies of Muslims are... well, Muslims themselves.
Muslims are murdering Muslims in schools, in mosques, at markets, in buses over and over and over again. People so used to this that they believe it is a norm, when a car bomb or a few are exploded in Iraq, or a suicide bomber strikes at a mosque in Pakistan. Why Muslim Egyptians are murdering Coptic Egyptians? They all are Arabs, a proud, ancient people with a great history, living in a beautiful country. Why they cannot live in peace with each others? If one day, they'll be able to do it, they will be able to live in peace with the rest of the world.
