of Prophet Muhammed 12 insulting Cartoons
Assalam Alikom wa rahmat ALLAH
Peace and Blessings be upon you
Hello Everybody
Well, this post is to clarify some important points regarding what I told in the previous one + the comments raised after such post. You can refer to it at the end of this post.
First of all,
As I said before, what had happened is not something that offend our religion; rather Muhammed (PBUH) is a symbol of our religion, and we - Muslims - can’t stop and only watch when we find anyone saying bad words + insulting the prophet (PBUH). That is not acceptable at all by any mean or via any method.
Point 2:
We didn’t ask for anything except real apology for what happened from the Danish Government + the Danish Newspaper Jyllands-Posten + any other Newspaper + any other country that had insulted our prophet, simply because what had happened can’t be categorized under Freedom or Liberty. What had happened is insulting for the second Islamic Icon after the Holy Qur’an which is again not acceptable at all.
Point 3:
As I said in the previous post, we - Muslims - can’t take illegal acts or act in a violent way because that’s not from Islam, however we are called to defend our prophet, therefore we have no other legal way except boycotting any country until we see real apology, not that weak one placed by the magazine.
Point 4:
I always used to respect the Danish government for their efforts regarding making peace in our world, however this situation of insulting our prophet make this respect changes. If you take a look on my profile, you’ll find me mentioning that I’m not preloaded with any stereotype image regarding anyone; rather your acts + words create this image. This applies to anyone, with any religion even if a Muslim like me, and of course any country worldwide.
Point 5:
One of my guests - Mr. Todd - commented on the previous post saying that the poor Danish workers have no role in this boycotting; well, those Danish workers have a government who’s responsible for them, and such government refused to meet the committee - of Arab & Muslim Ambassadors - which asked to meet Mr. Prime Minister of Denmark, but he refused to meet them, therefore until they understand that what had happened is not from Liberty or Freedom, we can’t stop boycotting.
By the way, for GOD sake, didn’t the UN - or better say USA - apply an economic sanctions towards countries for a reason or another? Well, we - nations - are applying economic sanction towards any country who will not respect our religion, our symbols. No one can accuse people when they take acts to defend what they believe in, and in the same time we - Muslims respect you and what you believe in as our Prophet (PBUH) taught us, whom is being insulted now.
Point 6:
Any illegal acts towards any non-Muslim for what had happened is not acceptable because it’s not representing the real core of Islam. In parallel, any illegal acts from who think they will can threat us by insulting the Qur’an is not acceptable too, because this proof that people didn’t understand yet that insulting religion - either Islam or Non - is something not acceptable at all from anyone, no matter what.
Point 7:
Now it’s your own problem when you are not trying to understand real Islam and real Muslims; and just focus on the wrong stereotype image created via terrorists, whom are not representing the core of Islam, and the previous post had covered this issue in details.
Boycotting will continue to the Danish goodies + any other country who don’t respect us.
Boycotting will continue as it’s our right and legal way to defend our Prophet (PBUH),simply because we can’t give our money to buy goodies from anyone anywhere,who don’t respect me or My Religion. That’s why we boycott and will continue boycotting,until we see real apology from all who’d insult us.
We are calling to stop insulting not only for Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), but also for any Prophet, because Islam respects them all; as they are the Messengers form ALAAH (swt) - GOD - to Mankind.
We are calling to see real apology, as what had happened is not acceptable at all.
We are calling to make our word better via real understanding, not via increasing the places of hate via such insulting actions, and we will not die if we boycott any other country.
We - Muslims - represents almost 25% of this world and according to Islam which we are proud of; We don’t hate you, why do you hate us? Why do you increase the hate via such acts?
I don’t know, it’s your problem now.

Salaam Everybody - before making any comments - if any - kindly read the previous post; as this current post is complementary to it

Comment - as much as you didn’t understand the problem yet, you - and people who think is the same way you do - will cause the problem to expand.
The problem of you - and people who think is the same way you do - that you don’t respect the others, don’t respect anything.
That really prove that you are far away from the real meanning of Liberty, and Civilization.
Qur’an is saved by ALLAH (swt), and your acts will not affect us, and be sure that your plans will not be effective on the long run.
It’s your problem, believe me.

To those of the Nation of Islam, Allah’s blessings forever to you and yours.
I have seen the cartoonsa, and tries to place myself in your shoes, which was easy. I am Druid, not a Christian. Our people for generations have been portrayed as ‘evil satanists’ (the problem with that, we do not believe in satan, that is a Christian belief, not ours. So how can we be part of somethingwe don’t even recognize, let alone be a part of our belief, philosophy, ect..), ‘human sacrificers’
‘monsters’, ‘depraved mad sorcerers’, adn so on.
We honour and worship that of which is of the earth, sea, and sky, of which there are most benevolent dieties.
I have lost jobs, friends, and even my family, at times, has very little to do with me. My wife and son are Christian, and love love me very much, therefore I am a lucky man.
I understand to a degree, your anger of the cartoons, but I think the political element was directed to the Taliban, AlKaida, adn other fundalism extremists using Allah, Islam, and the Qu’Ran, as a tool for their purpose of death and destruction. Just as Pres. Bush adn his Cabinet Members use our country and their beliefs for their goals and purpose. This does not make anything right , and must stop.
I am saddened by the continuous flow of blood, destruction, mahem, and madness, thrown onto our planet by those wishing to use others for their own goals and reasons.
I know the cartoons were not used as a slam or insult to the good people of Islam. I think, the authors were trying to vent frustration, anger, fear, and by using a little humour,(which backfired), toward those abusing the Qu’Ran, Islam, and the name of Allah, used their art and talent to express these emotions. I am not condoning, nor condemning, the printing of the cartoons. But, what has happened, obviously, has hurt a lot of people, and one thing is for certain, we, as humanity, must do everything in our power to stop this madness before it really gets out of hand.
These are frightening and confusing times, and I pray to the Gods for help. Our children have seen TOO MUCH HATE, WAR, AND DESTRUCTION. No-one is right. War does not correct anything, and it never will. For when all is said and done, someone will feel hurt, and start the whole thing all over again. It is a vicious circle.
I pray for peace, and I hope we will be able to eat and drink together without fear or prejudice.
Political cartoons have always been used as a ’safe way’ to express feelings, emotions, ideas, discontent, and anger without saying a lot. A picture is worht a thousand words, (lest the truth be known), and if there is anyone we should be angry at, it is our ‘leaders’.
Again, I am not condoning the cartoons, but we should sit back, regroup our thoughts and try other ways and means to remedy and rectify the situations at hand, like I said earlier, before things really get out of hand. Killing each other is not the answer. Our Gods, however perceived, do not want us to destroy the 2 most precious gifts ever. Our life and our planet. I pray that that which your heart follows, be with you and guide you always. Chas

Chas - Thanks for stopping by.
I totally agree with you in your comment. In fact the bad situation that humanity is facing in now a days maje me feel strange that we are living in the 21st century and still have those misconceptions problems.
Regading the cartoons, I’d collected my thoughts in one final post titled Of the Danish Cartoon Crises, which is reflecting some of what you’ve said.
As for humanity, If you browse my blog, you’ll find me talking in a special post about this point, it is titled Hey You!. You are welcome to read it.
Anyway, Peace is the only way to solve problems not violence, and I’d talked about it in my different articles posted in I-MAG Magazine.
I pray for Humanity.
