Letter: When Muhammad was insulted
When Muhammad was still alive, he was insulted, stoned and spat at but he did not become angry

When Muhammad was still alive, he was insulted, stoned and spat at but he did not become angry.
He stayed calm. He even smiled to those people who had insulted him.
When the man who used to spit on him suddenly stopped, Muhammad wondered what happened to the man and tried to find him.
When he knew that the man was sick he went to visit him and it turned out Muhammad was the first man who visited him during his sickness.
This touched the man's heart so much that he decided to become a Muslim.
To me as a Muslim, Muhammad is a noble man although now when he is being insulted he will be still noble in my heart and nothing can change that. Only Muslims are forbidden to draw or make icons of Muhammad, so why should we worry about the cartoons.
They are not Muslims so we should understand that it is their right to draw anything they like as long as we don't.
