Editor,
Rather than becoming angry about the Daily Lobo cartoon that mocked the Prophet Muhammad, I will tell you about his noble character.
There was a woman who lived down the street from Prophet Muhammad in Mecca. She didn’t think much of him. Every day when he would walk by her house she would throw trash on him. One day when he walked past her house, he was surprised to find that she had not given him his daily serving. He knocked on the door and asked the woman’s servant about the condition of his mistress. After Muhammad left, the servant informed the sick woman that the man she hated had come to inquire about her condition. The shamefaced woman could only say, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Editor’s note: We didn’t intend to mock the Islamic faith. The way we read into it is the cartoon isn’t about Muhammad directly but about the issues surrounding his depiction. We just want to clarify that we were not intentionally trying to offend anyone and do not subscribe to Islamophobia.
