Cartoon controversy

The publication of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) deserves protest by the offended Muslims around the world. There was also protest by the Christians against materials on Jesus Christ (for example, "The last temptation of Christ").

I would like to draw a line between the two protests where some Muslims lost their valuable lives and Christians did not. If we could change the fashion of protests with thoughtfulness, I believe the world would be more peaceful. Religion teaches us tolerance, which we should follow.

I pray for those Muslims who sacrificed their lives while protesting.
