do you expect Muslims to not get angry when people say things to our Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? do you think muslims are not human enough that they don't have the rights to get angry?

start with the guests of your own home and guide the family members of your own home so that even if they don't want to respect they can atleast fake it so the guest doesn't remember the unfriendly environment for the rest of his/her life.

jlujan69 said:It also helps a great deal if guests apply the same principle to themselves. If I'm treated disrespectfully in someone's home, I won't return there. If my guest is disrespectful to my wife or me, he/she won't be invited back short of repentance.
That said, I have a feeling there's more to the OP's post than meets the eye.
"As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you." -- Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of PeaceArthra said:Unfortunately I see that apparently not much can be done about this here.. that's why I decided not to open myself to them very much anymore..
I too am very sensitive when people use derision and slander to try to attack Prophet Muhammad... but remember, when people use derision and insult it falls back on them and affects their spiritual well being I believe. People don't see their spirit or the condition of their soul is not as apparent to them as the physical reality but sooner or later these attacks will make themselves felt and the effects are very sad indeed to contemplate.
Anger can really only be responded to with compassion.
When we respond with anger for anger it only makes matters worse:
"Now vengeance, according to reason, is also blameworthy, because through vengeance no good result is gained by the avenger. So if a man strikes another, and he who is struck takes revenge by returning the blow, what advantage will he gain? Will this be a balm for his wound or a remedy for his pain? No, God forbid! In truth the two actions are the same: both are injuries; the only difference is that one occurred first, and the other afterward. Therefore, if he who is struck forgives, nay, if he acts in a manner contrary to that which has been used toward him, this is laudable. The law of the community will punish the aggressor but will not take revenge. This punishment has for its end to warn, to protect and to oppose cruelty and transgression so that other men may not be tyrannical.
But if he who has been struck pardons and forgives, he shows the greatest mercy. This is worthy of admiration."
- Abdul-Baha

do you expect Muslims to not get angry when people say things to our Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? Assuming that you mean "when people say derogatory things about Muhammed," no, I do not expect you not to get angry. You should exercise some self control, obviously, but I do not expect that either. In the Bible, it says that self-control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, ie: the Spirit of God who indwells and quickens Christians.
talitha said:do you think muslims are not human enough that they don't have the rights to get angry? I do see that muslims are human, but I personally believe that only those with the mind of Christ have the right to get angry - and only when they are operating in the mind of Christ. (That's what I posted before, but at that time, I was in the wrong spirit. Now I'm simply telling you what I believe.)

whitneysyed said:I was going to point out though it's already been mentioned that as a host it is my responsibility to treat a guest (invited into my house) with respect. Though a guest who feels he cannot respect the host in his/her house should leave, and any host who cannot respect his/her guest should not invite him/her into his/her home.

With all due respect, don't you think Christians become a little angry when Jesus is reduced to a prophet and when it is said the Bible is corrupted? When it is said Jesus was not crucified? We have to look at things from a blanced perspective.Bookofknowledge said:do you expect Muslims to not get angry when people say things to our Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? do you think muslims are not human enough that they don't have the rights to get angry?
