Cartoon Rage: Vikings Warned to Leave Palestine

This morning armed Palestinians stormed the European Union office in Gaza City, threatening Danes and Norwegians and demanding that they leave. Two Norwegian aid workers are on their way out of the region. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry has warned Norwegian citizens against travelling to Gaza. The Danish Foreign Ministry warned Danes to be extremely cautious while travelling in the Middle East and North Africa. Yesterday the Danish national flag was burned in the West Bank in protest against the publication of 12 cartoons of Muhammad (see them all here, halfway the article) in the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten last September. Depicting the prophet is blasphemy according to Islam.

The Palestinian terrorist organization Islamic Jihad announced yesterday that all Nordic people had 48 hours to leave Gaza. The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades distributed leaflets saying that Danes and Swedes had three days to get out of the region. Sweden, however, unlike Denmark and Norway, has nothing to do with the cartoon affair. Perhaps the Norwegians have been omitted by the al-Aqsa Brigades because its leftist government parties have called for a boycott of Israel.

There are also reports that a terrorist group called the Glory Brigades of Northern Europe is threatening suicide attacks in Denmark. Meanwhile the internet edition of Jyllands-Posten was offline for several hours today, and also yesterday and on Friday, due to attacks by computer hackers.

Governments of a number of Muslim countries in the Middle East, such as Jordan
and Syria, have contacted Danish ambassadors and condemned the cartoons. Last week the Jordanian parliament called for the punishment of the Danish cartoonists. On Saturday the Foreign Minister of Iran, Manouchehr Mottaki, wrote to his colleagues in Denmark and Norway protesting the „ridiculous and repulsive insult“ which he says the cartoons embody. Last week Saudi Arabia called back its ambassador to Denmark for consultation. Yesterday Libya decided to close its embassy in Copenhagen in protest against the cartoons and the lack of „responsible actions“ by the Danish government. Libya also said it would be taking “economic measures” against Denmark, but did not say what they would be.

Yesterday the editor of Jyllands-Posten wrote an open letter to the people of Saudi Arabia to justify the publishing of the Muhammad cartoons after a number of Danish export companies with interests in the Middle East had urged him to do so. Several Muslim governments have encouraged their people to boycott Danish products in protest against the cartoons. Disinformation about the affair and about Denmark’s role is being distributed in many Muslim countries, for example through e-mails and sms messages which claim that Jyllands-Posten is a government owned newspaper and that the Danish government was behind the publication of the cartoons. Danish embassies in Arab countries have felt compelled to correct these lies. [There is also disinformation in the Western mainstream media who have finally picked up the story.]

At a press conference in Jeddah on Saturday the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) lambasted the Danish government „over its lack of action or apology“ for the Muhammad cartoons. “The Danish authorities have, by providing protection to the newspaper and failure to censor it in unequivocal terms, served neither the cause of freedom of expression nor advanced the goals of multiculturalism, domestically or internationally. The Danish authorities should have categorically condemned the cartoons,” said Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary-general of the OIC.

Ihsanoglu added that the “failure” of the Danish authorities to condemn the cartoons sets a dangerous precedent. He welcomed diplomatic actions from Muslim countries against Denmark and said that the anger against the country is reflected in the boycott of Danish goods. “If they have the freedom of expression, then individual Muslims have the freedom of choice,” he said. Ihsanoglu nevertheless acknowledged the conflicting issues of press freedom and respect for other religions, but said Danish authorities “had a responsibility to control such material which incited hatred and religious intolerance.” Previously the OIC urged Muslims to protest in a peaceful manner.

In addition the OIC and the Arab League have announced their intention to appeal to the United Nations’ General Assembly to issue a resolution “prohibiting attacks on religion.” Such a resolution would among other things make it possible to resort to economic sanctions against countries that contravene it.

Both José Manuel Barroso, the president of the EU Commission, and the Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, who currently holds the EU precidency, appear to be avoiding discussions on the cartoon affair. At a press conference in Salzburg on Friday Barroso claimed he did not really know in detail what the issue is about and was obviously not too pleased at being asked to comment on the it. Barroso said furthermore that the EU supported freedom of expression but not necessarily everything which is expressed. The Danish Foreign Minister, Per Stig Møller, has said he intends to bring the issue up for discussion at today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers, mainly to inform his colleagues about the situation and the postion of the Danish government.

Though under huge pressure to intervene, the Danish government still stands firmly by its previous statements that it cannot and will not interfere in what the Danish press decides to publish. At his weekly press meeting last Tuesday Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Denmark need not be ashamed of its handling of human rights in the cartoon affair and referred to a reply from his government to an enquiry from the UN about the issue two months ago.

In a new poll published in Denmark last week 79% of Danes say the Danish government should not apologize for the cartoons while 18% say it should. 62% say Jyllands-Posten should not apologize, but 31% say it should. 58% say the newspaper had every right to publish the cartoons, but also said they understood Muslims were angry. 579 people were polled.

To Balder

Indeed! You make an excellent point! Muslims should not act as if there are not untowards things that happen in families over there. The reason few hear about them is that they usually kill the victim of the rape to satisfy the "family's honor!" In the two instances I had heard of I do not remember the perpetrator being damaged at all!

Odin be Praised! Baldur Save Us!

not objecting nor supportive

umm.. people.. look, i know that what they did were extreme, but that doesnt mean we have to show them we're also idiots. sure, some of them are but i think both sides are just acting stupid! the freedom of speech thing doesnt apply to every country and burning and attacking is soo not muslim..

They should come up with a resolution..
1. religiously insulting cartoons may be sensitive so it should just be published discreetly (not in a national newspaper)
2. muslims should stop attacking and burning

to Loser # 43

i have just turned on the ignore button towards you.  and yeah by the way why dont you try coming and saying all this stuff in my face.  ur probably a 4 foot 5 inch small piece of dung.  come mess with me 6 feet. 185 pounds. and i'll show you a thing or two. neways. this is the last message for hopeless losers. 

To Muslim

I totally agree with you....the ignorant people will never succeed in life.  It the people who are willing to listen we must speak with cause they are the only ones who truly deserve to be saved from the fires of hell.  As for the rest we pray for that they may one day be lead to the correct path.Insha-Allah.

To "Imran Patel"

Please don't waste your time with armyscout. Let's focus on discussing issues with people who know their facts, and who have a normal level of tolerance. I mean, how are you going to convince someone who thinks there are no Muslims living in China that there are millions of Chinese Uighur Muslims in western China? Imam Shafi'i said that in a debate between a person of knowledge and an igornamus, the ignoramus will always win.

armyscout

Why all the cursing and insulting? Please discuss like a civilized person. Your uncivilized behavior only mirrors Islamo-fascist behavior that you're criticizing so much. Thanks.

To 'Another American'

No, all Muslims don't rejoice when Americans are attacked.

And don't forget that the US Republican government itself has strong ties with Islamo-fascists like Saudi Arabia, not to mention brutal dictators like Islam Karimov.

To Balder

The Prophet Muhammed(P.B.U.H) did not take the virginity of Aisha(his wife) when she was 9.  He did not even wed her at that age.  He was engaged to her.  Meaning he was to look after her from now on.  How are you sure he took her virginity.  You know nothing.  You people must do your research first please.  I just dunno how arrogant you fools can be.  Also, armyscout43 is just a dumbass who is trying to get some attention.  Please when people are doing some serious and important talk. Dont shove your damn nose in.  And if you want to. Say sumthing worthwhile.  I dont want to hear no Stargate or Star Wars shit.  And by the way in Stargate the reason it was the west saved the world is cause its a movie made by people in the west.  Think before you say sumthing.  Your just proving you have no brain. And if you do, you lack the sensibility to use it.  Atleast the others here are using it. 

multicult nonsenses

A recent comment from a Canadian made excellent sense. Multicult is a one-way ticket to death and destruction for Western civilisation. Canada was a wonderful place to grow up when it was a British Dominion, but now it's a mess, no true character, no morality, no nothing.
This is the key to understanding how important it is for us to fight back against the Islamonazis. The creed of Islam forbids its faithful to draw pictures of its Prophet - fine, but the rest of us are free to do as we please.
As a writer of novels that have recurrent anti-multicult themes, I have a major stake in resisting this evil. Not least because i live in a Muslim-majority country.

Newt Gingrich criticized the White House on FoxNews Yesterday.

Newt Gingrich on FoxNews Yesterday said something to the effect of, "We should stand with the free people of the world and not bow down to fascist regimes."

(For the benefit of those who don't know, Newt Gingrich was the Republican leader of the US House of Representatives who, in 1994, lead the Republicans to their first majority in the US House of Representatives since 1948.)

In my own words, the White House is trying to achieve "Peace in our time" by coming down on the side of censorship and repression. What else do we have to give up to appease Muslim "sensibilities". Muslims celebrate when we're attacked and they are unhappy when we succeed. Why are we coddling people who hate us and what we stand for?

Don't get me wrong, I am not advocating for another war, but lets be honest with them and say we don't agree and we won't tolerate violence against our citizens exercising their rights under our constitutions and laws.

Islamofacists

I agree Baldur. 19 of the 20 terrorists on the 9/11 attack were Saudi citizens. I'm sure they were chosen by Bin Laden because the Saudis are "friends" with the U.S. We pour money into that country, the higher ups hog it, and the lowers blame it on us, the infidels. I would LOVE to see the "peaceful Muslims" I read about in the press denounce their terrorist bretheren. I believe it's a myth, since I see no "peacefull Muslims" condemning them. Now, I believe "Peaceful Muslin" is synonomous to "Nazi Sympathizer", only more dangerous, because the Nazis never had access to modern weapons of the 21st century. Had the Muslims come out in force vocally against these radicals, I might believe them. Because of their responses, I believe them to be too afraid, or complete liars. I view "peaceful Muslims" the same as I do Nazi sympathizers of World War 2- but a little worse- because I think they're cheering these idiots on.

Correct :-)

You are right, we should break the relationships to the islamofacist world. It's imorral to have any connection to the howling mass of brainwashed islamofacist.

In Denmarks case it's pretty easy, as the Muslim is doing the work for us ! The Danish trade with the islamofacist world is rather small only a few percent, so it dosn't matter for us if we dont have any relationships to those evil countries. We have plenty of oil in the north sea so we don't depend on them. On the other hand we send a lot of monnye in aid to those islamofacist countries. We shall cut all aide and only support friendly countries.

I'm looking forward to the day where the civilized world stands up against the islamofacist, but I'm afraid it will take more than a few cartoons to unite all of us :-(

Oil

The Soviet Union has huge oil reserves, in the amount of natural gas they possess. Why aren't we asking them?

guess they won't take the

guess they won't take the veil off.

72? virgins?

How cute are these virgins if they lived out their natural lives without finding a mate?

Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay

Edward Gibbon and Simon Ocklay, HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRE, London, 1870, p. 54.

Who are these gentlemen? Edward Gibbon, the author of Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, died in 1794, so it can't be him. I can't find any reference to Simon Ocklay other than on Islamic sites quoting the same piece as Nermin. Is this a hoax? Very odd.

I wonder what it says on page 53, but I suspect there isn't one. Or a page 55.

Bob Doney

Forgot something

Ah, I said that the only religion in the world that kills innocents en masse is Musim extremism. I neglected to mention the Jewish Kamakize pilot who crashed his plane in his brother's scrapyard. :)

Good answer.

I agree that we in Europe are to soft with the islamofacist. They only thing they seems to understand is brute force. We need to implement a "Mangement by punishment" politics towards the uncivilized islamofacist world, otherwise they will see us as weak. Kindness, understanding and dialog are seen by the islamofacist as weakness, therefore we probaly will need to learn from the Chinese and Jews. If they can contain the problems, so can we.

Good Post

Insightful comments- but the U.S. and China are united- economically- we're smart enough to do that- but neither the U.S. or China has religious groups willing to destroy the world with suicide weapons. Show Me a suicide Hindu, Christian, Taoist, Buddhist, and I'd say "Wow- he's a freak with a mental case!" Show me a suicide Muslim and I think, "Hmmm- that's normal for them". But it's supposedly a great religion. Oh Yeah- Where are the moderate Muslims who supposedly represent their religion protesting against these guys!? I never see them? Do you? The proof is in the pudding. These guys are dangerous.

Hypocracy or Hate?

Hate posting a comment twice- but my first never made it. How is it that even moderate Muslims can come out in droves to protest cartoons, yet none cam out after 9/11 when two thousand people were killed, many of them Muslims. Two scenarios possible- (1) Moderates afraid of reprucussions from the fanatics, or (2) Moderates silently cheering the fanatics on. Either scenario is chilling, and should tell all who has the REAL power in the Muslim world. So, you can all guess what will happen if these nations get a nuke.

I see you world is the civilized world !

Wasn't it child abuse when the warlord Muhammed took the virginity of his 9 year old wife ?

Q) What will happend if a girl/child i raped in a Muslim state like Pakistan ?
A) The victim will be stoned to death !

Are a person a devil if he/she is naked ?

Where I live most rapes, espically group rapes are done by persons from the Middle East !

Oh yes Amam. It would be a

Oh yes Amam. It would be a much better world if Christians started putting bombs on their body and blowing people up. Grow up. Oh, I give up. You're from the stone age? Aren't you?

So you hate a society that

So you hate a society that has women in strip bars and degredates women. You also hate the same society that allows women to work and feed their children once their husbands are dead. This was a problem in Afghanistan, where Muslim women were killed for working to feed their children. You seem to place execution above rituals. I submit that women in the western world love their freedom. Thay can choose to be friends with anyone. Sure, there are problems, but we don't keep them locked up where nobody sees their faces. Do you honestly think women like that, or do you view women as a farmer views his animals?

A small question to armyscout43

You are from Asia so perhaps you have some answers. I havn't seen any violent demonstrations against the Danish embassy in China. How can it be ? How does the Chinese controll the 20 mill Muslims ? There was Muslim uprising in China some years ago, how dit the Chinese police handle the situation ?

Aman - are you writing about muslims ?

Comment:
You are writing about children abuse - what du you call a muslim man who are marrying a 11 year old girl and having sex with her ? A pedofile or a rapist !

You are writing about trio marriage - well some muslim men are having more than 3 wife - and some only "child wifes" - thats disgusting and awful

Aman,

Fine you find us offensive and our behaviour ugly and odd. You have every right but rest assured the feeling is utterly mutual in this regard. Just don't go immigrating to one of our filfthy, decadent countries ok?

As to the war in Iraq I opposed it, I oppose it still because the reasons were trumped and spurious, because it would only feed the rabid, extremist elements in the Muslim world who seem incapable of facing the problems with their own governments and societies and instead conveniently blame their inadequacies on the west, and I want the people of Iraq to achieve democracy, freedom, and Enlightenment by themselves - the hard way as it was done in the West.

The Iraq war let you guys off the hook - instead of facing your own problems you have a convenient scapegoat.

I don't want to see anymore dying anywhere. As a secular humanist, I might find your religion and beliefs abhorrent but I don't want to see innocent people on all sides hurt or killed. So in the spirit of opposing bloodshed how about you denounce here those who kill and threaten to kill in the name os islam?

response to aman

There wouldn't be an occupation force had the muslim world taken care of its fundamentalists. You see, its very simple, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. The world trade center bombings were the last straws, so we decided to set up shop in the middle east just as we set up shop in Europe and Asia after WWII. If you want to blame someone or something blame yourself and the terrorist groups which you support.

patriot and plateau

I do not care about you, or your way of life at all, but its funny that you are who interfere with our way of life.
I'm not offended by those naked people, because its their dirty problem, but this is the image of your people from my point of view, it's my freedom isn't it?
you know what the difference between our societies?
we have some odd people or those who trying to do just like you, but we do not celebrate the ugly and the odd behavior; while you do celebrate every dirty action in the name of freedom, and that make dirty things to spread in your society while it's very limited in ours.
our women are treated in a good way " in most of the places in the Islamic world " , but you are the people who treat women as animal, you just care about their bodies, and you would see a naked women on every kind of advertisements, so you use them even to sell an insecticide, if not worse.
I do not hate anybody, but yes I do hate the dirty deeds and any occupation force

Addendum

AS an addendum - a mature society looks at the problems it's faces and openly discusses them. In the main, that's what western societies do. It's about time the muslim world leanrt how to introspect. To look at it and the problems it has. There is a veil of secrecy and issues in your societies that you dare not touch for fear of losing face.

Meanwhile people are abused and oppressed, and have no voice.

So you are better than us? I think not.

I could go on. But Aman, if you want to live in your prison of oppression and secrecy, be my guest. Meanwhile, the problems we have, we'll attempt to address as a society.

Aman, look at your society

you teach kids to hate from an early age, you treat your women like dogs in the basement, your warriors are cowards(at least to western standards) and if it was not for oil you really wouldn't matter too much. The way I see it you should bow towards Mecca and thank Allah for so many cars in the west.

You Aman

Aman, you might want to remove the log from your own eye before pointing at the splinter in ours (I'm sure you;re familiar with that one).

The thing is, western societies in the main, openly discuss social problems such as teenage pregnancy, drug abuse and rape in their socieities. Statistics are compiled. Do you seriously think rape, abuse, and molestation don't occur in the muslim world? There's been but it's a taboo to intrude into the private lives of people, behind closed doors where all kinds of abuse no doubt takes place. We just have the decency to face up to it, you in your hypocrisy do not. http://www.muslimarights.org/issues.htm and http://www.wae.org/islam/muslim-women.htm

As to nudity or beachwear. We don't find it offensive so the problem is your's, not ours. So if you ever come to a western country you have to respect that we reagard these things differently as you just as a western women would be expected to dress appropriately when visiting a muslim country.

And as to gays. So what? Better two people who love each other than your arranged marriages and forced submission.

So much for the being a religion of peace and love when you hold so much hate and prejudice for others.

you halleluya

We are much better than you halleluya, look how nice is your society with those who always drunk like animals and stinky with their smelly mouths ,or those mad people who stop you in the street to tell you stupid things, or those pregnant teenagers, or those who sit naked as devils on beaches , or read about the horrible number of rape crimes, children abuse, gay marriage , and that new disgusting trio marriage, and many many awful things
What a virtues

Nermin, see there is the

Nermin, see there is the difference.. you cannot eat it.. so shut up! I do not care what you eat! And Nermin I have seen some "muslims" ordering a certain Burger King hamburger with bacon in it and eating it.. Yummy! In the beginning I used to tell people I knew came from overseas that were with a group of us.. things such as you realize that there is Pork in that. Or there is alcohol in that! See I do care if someone contravenes his beliefs without knowing he was doing so. The guys with us said. Yes he knew and they were not supposed to be drinking either, as they swilled Heineken as if..as if it was water running from a faucet. Hmm or people having sex when they should not be doing so. Both parties to that were muslim, I turned and left my dormitory room at university.
I do not forget that Christians sell pork though not shouting it in some muslims countries. It is sold also in Israel also they just callit "white steak" there. But the point is I donot care whether you get upset or not.. You missed the point! The point was I am buying DANISH anything and everything! I bought tons of it.. it is delicous nad I am enjoying! Pork will not make you psychological problems if that was the case I know a few muslims who would be in straight jacket s by now!

Odin be Praised! Baldur Save Us!

plateau right back at you.

I have no time for your primitive fairy tales originating from something nondescript middle-eastern tribe with it's guilt and self-loathing. And while you have every right to believe in them just as some people believe in unicorns, faires, or that we everything is a grand computer-generated simulation, I'll stick to rational explanations for our existence, thank you.

You might say, prove to me that Allah doesn't exist. I'll say prove to me that unicorns don't exits in the universe for that matter, prove to me that we weren't created by some cosmic sneeze by some celestial hippopotamus leave it at that while giving you a brief explanation of Occam's Razor.

You know, religion is a thought virus, a meme, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme that has infected you and that compells you to infect others with it. What's worse is that as an ideology based on self-loathing, and infecting children with it is tantamount to child abuse. If someone wants to freely submit some dogma then by all means but no religion should be foisted upon children who lack free will. Now this is disgusting.

Let me tell you something else. I'm immune to your little virus. Thanks to the Enlightenment, the dawning of rational thought to the emergence of science, and humanistic principles I'm innoculated against your disease. So don't bother.

--------------------

Another point. You know I'm constantly bombarded with people attempting to convert me to whatever flavour of delusion they hold. I find it offensive but in a free society i tolerate it - I don't proceed to burn down their house and threaten the lives of their families. Again I ask you, how would i be received if I spke of my atheism in public in Saudi Arabia. You failed to answer the question and your failure exposes the hypocrisy of the so-called devout such as youself.

So by all means continue to believe in your delusion, or perhaps you might want to try this one which is just as plausible as an explanation for why we're here. http://www.venganza.org/

As soon as humanity throws off it's primitive mindset and the degrading shackles of religious dogma the better the world will be. But that's my opinion and you're entitled to disagree. You just might want to consider rational thought for a change.

nermin, it seems irony is also something muslims need to master.

You do know he was being ironic nermin? In fact he was a man well renowned for for it.

Besides, George Bernard Shaw was a key member of the Fabian Society, a socialist and an atheist. Not exactly the kind of person that Allah would welcome one would think? Incidentally, as an Atheist myself, how do you think I'd fair if I spoke of my Atheism publically, say in Saudi Arabia? Do you think I'd be respected for my views?

Here's a few more Bernard Shaw quotes I think you'd appreciate:

"The secret of success is to offend the greatest number of people."

"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality."

THE FREEDOM OF YOUR SOCIETY

THE FREEDOM OF YOUR SOCIETY ALLOWS PAEDOPHILA,ADULTERY (THE MORE PARTNERS SOMEONE HAS THE THE MORE SOCIAL VALUE HE/SHE HAS!!?), DRUNKARDS, RAPISTS DRUG ADDICTS THE LIST GOES ON....IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL FREEDOM THE GOOD LUCK TO YOU

Victim Status

Islamic fundamentalist somehow forget that they DO offend, they DO provoke, and they DO encourage violence and death.

By doing that the Arab and Islamic countries will always be "victims". By claiming this victim status they attempt to explain away why the things THEY say, and THEY do are alright unless those very same things are directed at them. This pitiful double standard is typical of a child not adults.

I grow weary of Islamic extremist (yes extreme even to those in their own religion) that say that the West is on a New Crusade. Can you imagine that? Imagine ALL of the non Islamic countries deciding to use all of their nation's might in a New Crusade. That would be the shortest war fought in history. The death toll would be in the hundreds of millions. There would be no Medina, no Mecca, no holy sites to visit because they would not only be gone from the face of the earth, they would be so poisoned that no one could venture near them for generations without dying a slow and painful death. Does Islam really think the west wants a New Crusade? Does Islam really want to provoke a New Crusade? They should be careful or they may get what they ask for.

Islamist should be far more concerned with their NEW trading partners and friends in the EAST. The Chinese won't have any qualms about invading the middle east and using far more force and brutality than the west ever has in subduing a culture and religion that they could care less about.

People who use their mind respect islam ,narrow minded are hople

Intellectuals and thinker like lamartine,bernard chaw and others see prophet of islam and islam as the solution of all world probelms while closed minded speaks like anymouus and others innhere....
below are one of non muslims opinion about islam:

"It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Medina is preserved, after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran. . . The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith an devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. 'I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honours of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."

below are one of non muslims opinion about islam:

"It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Medina is preserved, after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran. . . The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith an devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. 'I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honours of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion."
