I am appalled, disgusted, saddened.
Whenever I have a free moment, I try and peruse the news sites so that I have a general idea of current happenings in the world. The number 1 issue in the world at present is the derogatory movie that was made, depicting our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ص) as a womaniser (Astaghfirullah).
Naturally, Muslims are upset and angry.
And I don't know why non-Muslims are surprised at the reaction this has elicited from Muslims around the globe. During the Crusades, any person who didn't follow Christianity, or who spoke out against Christian doctrines was killed. And not humanely either. Men were mutilated, women were raped and burned.
So yeah, we are angry. I do not recall a Muslim ever ridiculing or mocking Moses or Jesus, or any other religion. We are commanded by God to follow His laws, follow His Messenger (and by that, I mean try to emulate him as perfectly as we can, because he was the perfect example of how a human being should be) and we are also commanded to be tolerant of the religious beliefs of others, even if it be contrary to our own.
So today I'm reading the news headlines and I come across this article:
http://news.yahoo.com/french-weekly-publishes-mohammad-cartoons-075449808.html
I don't even want to go into what was depicted in the cartoons.
I would like to say this to the people responsible for the movie and the cartoons, and also to the people who condone and support this kind of behaviour:
No one wants to take away your right to freedom of speech.
What YOU are doing, with your slander and ridicule of the religion of Islam and it's greatest and best example, is an attempt to deny Muslims the freedom of religion.
YOU are showing a shocking level of intolerance. And YOU are showing the world the full extent of YOUR depravity and immorality.
Indeed, if someone can depict any holy and pious person as a womaniser or showing his private areas, then that person is seriously depraved and immoral.
And if you find any of this at all entertaining or humurous, you are equally as depraved as the ones who made it.
May the Almighty safeguard our minds and hearts against such thoughts, and our selves against such behaviour.
