Finding something Offensive ....

In this secular world we live .... Where God is mocked, The prophets Mocked and religion Mocked, Why do we (islamic and religious peoples) find offense (to the extreme) in this ?

For the non muslim to understand the person has to alter his/her mindset .... So What do i mean by this?

The answer, i say, rests in the understanding of "What is Sacred" !!
The understanding of Sacreligious is something overlooked, denied and unapreciated... "What" is offensive and "Why" something is offensive (when mocking sacreligiousity) is thus not apreciated In our modern era "The Sacred" is placed side-by-side and with equal measure that which is not Sacred ... "Homesexuality, Race, God .... the prophets" Are these all the same?

When "That which Sacred" is apreciated in its entirety and given its due weight apreciating "what is offensive and why it is offensive" will similarly be apreciable...

So why does the mockery of God, the prophets offend muslims ?

Holding something "Sacred" is "not to cross the line, is something that is more loved than ones life itself, than ones mother, than ones father, country and graves of dead siblings ... " This is an attempt to articulate what "The Sacred" means to oineself .. but is more than what mere words can express since the heart cannot write ..... !!

As we know Freedom of speech has its limits ! But to cross the line into "What is held Sacred" has to be understood by the "not-religiously inclined ..." into why offence is caused !!
