Prophet Muhammad has not taught us to hold protests like this. this is against his teachings.
These people does not know correct Islam.

What else option u have other than a peaceful protest to show our dissatisfaction ?..if you know the correct islam, you have to present the correct way also with your comment.

You are a Hilak my friend. Learn Islam, then practice. Then talk.

The emotional dissatisfaction of any Muslim is understandable over this video. But I am sure Prophet Muhammad would have being shocked to see public life being disrupted to show support for him as it only shows the moral decadence of his followers.
Secondly I am not a fan of American foreign policy.. but this repugnant movie is act of an individual who misused his freedoms.. not of the American Gov. Obama including Hillary Clin has heavily criticised the movie and also went to the extra mile of asking Youtube to remove it.
These idiots burning american flag and castigating america just goes to show their ignorance. The sad reality is the will full ignorance imams to contaminate these protesters with ignorance, anger and hatred.
It sad that how Sri lanka is being slowly eaten by Saffron and Islam extremisms but the real tragic is the silence of the intelligent to speak up!!!

Some idiot makes a film in USA....but the other countries suffer. Nothing happens to America. Go and protest in America. Don't destroy the country where you are born.

Islam says flght for Islam is allowed,,,That is JIHAD.

MJ - Shouldn't we just ignore these insults. Religion should be greater than mayhem. Remember there are over 6 million muslims in America and over 800 mosques.

-8+7 # Mohammed 2012-09-18 15:13

Dinesh, So you won't do a protest in SL if Buddha is insulted? rather you will go and do a protest in america? give me a honest answer.

-4+3 # Mohamed Jihaddeen 2012-09-18 14:59

This is human rights + religion rights.
no any religion cannot insult another.

stop insuting - UNITY MAKES STRENTH.

This show how primitive they are...

-2+10 # ROSHAN 2012-09-18 15:16

Please respect other religion, don't hate others belief even you
like or not,whatever personal dispute don't mixed with religion
this is totally unacceptable

-0+11 # Rohan 2012-09-18 15:49

Dear brothers & sisters,
We Love our prophets & we do accept that, this is not the prophetic way taught by islam, we make our protest by claiming a lesson who did this hatred insult to our prophet from our god almighty Allah. And dear muslim brothers do remember "prophet Muhammad is the seal of all prophets & he is Allah's best selection as a mercy to mankind in this world, so Allah knows better to teach them a lesson", do not entertain such protest by comments, do make dua, claim from almighty for the best outcome for the people who involved behind this insulation & more over ask Allah to guide all of them guide towards Islam"
UNITY IN SRI LANKA IS ALWAYS SHOULD BE AS HOLDING LIKE ONE ROPE, DO NOT SPOIL THE UNITY BY CHILDISH COMMENTS,
May Allah bless all of u guys..!!

What a difference when Muslims bombarded and destroyed the ancient Buddha statues of Bahamian, Afghanistan. Not a single Buddhist in any part of world instigated any violence against Muslims or damaged any Muslim countries embassies. I leave it to the readers to make the conclusion.
Now its provem that ISALM = VIOLENCE , when Islam means Peace.
