prophet Muhammad caricatures?

as much as i am totally offended with the stupid caricatures done by the insensitive groups in some European countries, i am ashamed to see how the Muslims reacted to it. The numbers are small, as not all Muslims staged destructive demonstration, but it is the consequences that counted. Minorities did staged the destructive demos, while others held a peaceful demonstration.

as what have been highlighted over and over again in local medias, violence is not the answer. burning the effigies meant nothing. boycotting the products are useless. unfortunately, the liberal and moderate views are not considered as "front page" materials. instead of spreading these messages, what most media did (mostly international medias) they only flamed the issue, so that the effects will be more than expected, and they can have more "news" material. exclusive report. u name it.

the way some of the mUslims retaliate is shameful. it is not Islamic. it is not what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would do. i'm sure by this time most of heard the story of the Prophet and his neighbour. His neighbour, a Quraisy lady, always throw insults to Prophet everytime he passed in front of his house. then one day, while the Prophet was passing his neighbour's house, the lady was nowhere in sight. the Prophet checked inside her house, and found out that she was sick. instead of laughing or throwing insults back to her, the Prophet helped the lady to do her chores, while taking care of her health.

that is his sunnah. and we are to follow his sunnah. yes, the Prophet is being ridiculed and insulted. but destructive demos are not what he expects us to do.

the question now is, " how can we restore back the image of beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)? " please, tell me how? how can we restore back the image of Islam as a peaceful religion? where as the followers only resulted to violence as the last act?

current equation from some Westerners' perspective : Terrorist + violence + gender discrimination = Islam

so how?

btw, i wonder what would be if we are to release sets of caricatures that make fun of the so called "Holocaust"? can we be branded as championing press freedom, or will we be branded as anti-semitic?

this is the truth. there are always discrimination done by the media
