BTW, this does not mean that I am with the video and that I am happy at
what is going on. It is very upsetting, and what makes things even worst is
that Google is doing nothing about it.

I believe that respect for every community and religion is an essential
requirement of our lives. The holy book of Qur'an mentions (this is a
translation from Arabic) "*We created you as nations and tribes to meet and
coexist together. The best of you within the eyes of God are those who are
faithful*". The Holy book of Qur'an also strongly condemns those who kill
innocent people, make negative gestures towards other believes and
religions, or take bad about other prophets and messengers.
