Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy

A community portal about Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy began after twelve editorial cartoons, most of which depicted the Islamic prophet Muhammad, were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten on 2005 - 09-30. The newspaper announced that this publication was an attempt to contribute to the debate regarding criticism of Islam and self-censorship. In response, Danish Muslim organizations held public protests and spread knowledge of Jyllands-Posten's publication. As the controversy grew, examples of the cartoons were reprinted in newspapers in more than fifty other countries, which led to violent as well as peaceful protests, including rioting particularly in the Muslim world.

The initial Arab Muslim conquests (632–732), (Arabic: فتح‎, Fatah, literally opening,) also referred to as the Islamic conquests or Arab conquests,[1] began after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He established a new unified political polity in the Arabian peninsula which under the subsequent Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates saw a century of rapid expansion of Arab power well beyond the Arabian peninsula in the form of a vast Muslim Arab Empire with an area of influence that stretched from northwest India, across Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, southern Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula, to the Pyrenees.

It is surmised that the Muslims during the reign of Omar (581-83 CE – 7 November 644) immigrated to what was then called Ardh e Makluba. They seems to have settled in the Western part of America and interacted with the local native Americans. The inscriptions discovered in New Mexico have been carbon dated to the 7th century. The Muslims probably sailed from North Africa or Spain around the time of Umar, Usam and Ali. The Ummayadh period saw expansion into Spain which would have been a good springboard for them to sail from. Alternatively they could have sailed from China.
