Recently the event of Draw Mohammad contest started at Facebook. Not an unknown thing to anyone at all now. How it affected many and how some cruelest of people, inconsiderate of others values and belief easily and ignorantly spread their hate for Islam and Muslims with unexplainable drawings. How can one learn to shame I wonder, if that was so, this world wouldn't be in current mess would it? Discrimination is every where ... but who's going to stop it? No one but us right? Muslims and Non-Muslims alike right...? Doesn't basic humility exist in this world for these people...? and they expect us to be,..humble and sit back and say nothing…?

I have many hurtful questions which only lead to unending arguments. You may not accept my Islam, my Allah and my Prophet (PBUH), I wouldn't force you to. But I still accept you for your religion or belief and above all you're being a human just like me... I don't want to spread hate against you. But I will hit back if you hurt me. That's all..

Below are the few links to some fabulous journal entries and articles.

In response to this biased campaign against the Holy Prophet (PBUH), which is giving rise to nothing but a cycle of hatred, instead of taking violent action it is our duty, being Muslims, to respond in a manner that is in keeping with the Sunnah (way of life) of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). We will not resort to death threats or violence, instead we will educate as many Non-Muslims as we can about the beauty of the Messenger of Allah's (PBUH) character and tell them that the views generated of Islam and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) across the media is nothing but biased lies.

The West does know that certain things irk us, especially illustrations of historic Muslim personalities, and they use them every time to provoke us and our stupidity lies in the fact that we take their bait every single time. We should instead use the opportunity to assess ourselves and see where we are lacking as Muslims, and then make the process of educating others more aggressive.

Furthermore, things like these show that they fail to understand why we do not have or felt the need to have graphic representation of our Prophets, God and other aspects of our faith. If we were to explain to them why we do not have graphic/visual representation in Islam, those who want to understand will. I've seen several non-Muslims asking this question in response to articles on this issue.
