Notice something missing here ? For those who havnt been here before - I was one who featured Zapiro's cartoons occasionally - thinking he captured the political satire very well.
Well, I think poking fun at political situations cannot be equated with poking fun at something sacred to people - Like their prophets, like their religion. This is something that is integral to all of mankind. And is something that goes unspoken even in "so-called" uncivilized societies. But it seems that the 21st Century has ushered in more than just technological advances. One wonders whats next - it seems like theres no limits to the levels that the human race is willing to sink to.
Let's ponder on some saying of our Nabi ( Prophet , peace be on him).
Abu Hurairah (radiyallahu-an) narrates that Nabi (peace be on him) said: Give presents to one another, for a present removes hatred from the breast and a woman should not despise a gift from her neighbour even it be a portion of a goat's hoof. (narrated in Tirmidhi)
Abu Dhar ( radiyallahu-an ) narrates that Nabi (peace be on him) said: None of you should consider any good deed insignificant ; if you are unable to perform any good deed then at least meet your brother cheerfully ( this is also a good deed). If you buy meat or cook in a pot, then increase its gravy and give some of it to your neighbour. (narrated in Tirmidhi)

I challenge Zapiro - to produce a more beautiful teaching than our Prophet's. Our Prophet is far above anything you can conjure up. You do what you have to do. Just know that one day - every man has to give account for his actions.
