People who have a religion, and who take it seriously, tend to be offended by this. This includes Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists. In some cases, the perception of offense is very serious, and it could provoke a physical attack, or even a murderous rage. Again, this is true of just about any religion. Think about the Catholics and the Protestants killing each other in Northern Ireland, or the repeated Christian mass slaughters of Jews and Muslims, or the current perception of Jews by many Muslims. These situations are driven at least in part by the belief that others have made fun of one's religion, or Propaganda to that effect.
The guy was offended when his friend made fun of his family
yes they do.
It is doubtful that it is OK to make fun of religion. However if a faith is strong enough it should be well able to withstand some joking. What is definitely not OK is to make fun of some one else's religion merely because it is not the same as your own.
No, sure you can't and you don't. Religion and religion related aspects as God, prophets, holy books, angels, ...etc are aspects that must respected and considered sacred and holy. It is sinful to make fun of any relevant religion aspects.
Answer 1It is a matter of lack of mutual respect and lack of observing human rights.Answer 2It depends entirely on what is meant by "making fun" of Islam.1) Legitimate Criticism: There are many people who are critical of Islam, Muhammad's teachings, or Qur'anic material and approach these criticisms in a very serious manner. The reasons for these criticisms are varied; some make them aspiring to greater human rights and equality in Muslim-majority areas, some make them trying to convert Muslims out of Islam (and possibly into a different religion), some make them in the hope of promoting more liberal strains of Islam. However, many Muslims are personally offended by the criticisms of their beliefs and ideals and consider it to be a personal attack. One particularly sensitive issue is the drawing or depiction of Muhammad, which Non-Muslims see as something to which people should be permitted on account of free speech and which Sunni Muslims argue is a form of blasphemy.2) Badgering or Bullying: There are also those who have active malice towards Islam or Muslims and use anti-Islamic language with the intent of hurting the believer's feelings. It could be motivated by political issues (usually immigration, economics, or accusations of terrorism) or because Muslims profess a distinct religion. People are often quick to hate that which they do not understand or want to understand. Muslims are no less guilty of this than any other group and have members in their ranks who hold immense hatred of Israelis, sexual minorities, and polytheists.
because it have "atomic bomb".sometimes America use 2 make fun of their religion ISLAM and if they will start fighting for their religion Islam(muslims say it jihad)then they can destroy the whole world because before they have ruled for 1000 years which mean 10 centuries.that's why they r known as dangerous countries.
Each religion views their own god the way they desire. There can be many or one. No religion is supposed to "make fun" or "critize" a other religion as well. Whoever chooses their own religion is what their heart wants them to do.
the voice actor Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist and they made fun of his religion and he said they went too far getting all offended and left. He died a few years later so he'll never be back unfortunately.
There is No compulsion regarding religion in Islam. Islam does not compel anybody to accept Islam by force. One may have any religion and live peacefully in a Muslim country. But if a person accepts Islam after complete satisfaction, he can't make fun of Islam by reverting to any other religion. In the early days many non-believers made a mockery of Islam by doing so. Thus Almighty Allah commanded that such mocking people should be killed.
A religion that makes fun of something--check out the Church of the Subgenius
its not evil. its not going to be banned because so much of the world's population are Muslims. Have you ever met or talked to a regular Muslim person? people think that just because a couple of idiots went and blew up the world trade center Islam and all other Muslims are bad. many of the Muslims in the US arent terrorists and yet they still get tuanted and made fun of by other people! girls are made fun of just because they where a scarf on their head! they wouldn't be made fun of if they werent wearing it! people of other religions arent perfect either! christians have murdered, but that doesnt scar their religion at a whole! what im saying is that in the world today every religion has the good people and the bad people. If you actually research Sunni Islam, or the religion, you'lle see its not evil like people say it is. just because they say something doesnt mean its true. try this website- http://www.Islam.com/ it should help
Yes. It is wrong to make fun of anyone for anything. Consider your big ears, or squinty eyes, or large stomach, or short legs, or perhaps the religion you choose, or the home you bought, or the car you drive, or any number of other factors about yourself that someone could single out to make fun of. Then consider how you might feel about that.
