Is it true, that in the name of free speech, you are free to insult anyone, including their fundamental beliefs?… Anyway, that’s what I can understand by the publication of these cartoons (of which I assume you already know. This is the second time by the way, and there is a possibility of a third, fourth, etc.).
When I saw the news of the second publication of these cartoons, I just wasn’t able to believe it. I felt extremely angry, puzzled, but most of all sad and hurt. To Muslims, the prophet is the most loved human being that ever lived. We don’t pray to him, but we thank him, love, and cherish him for showing us the way. So to feel hurt and sad is perfectly natural. People do odd things when they are hurt, sad, and attacked. Some might even threat to kill the opposed one (which in this case is the cartoonists, I kind of feel sorry for their ignorance though). This (the murder threat) triggered the re-publication of the cartoons, and in turn has hurt the millions of Muslims all around the globe (again for the second time) in the name of free speech (such a stupid justification). I don’t believe that all Danes, Caucasians, or whatever are as***les. As a matter of fact, I have many good Caucasian friends. In every apple tree there are rotten ones (many nowadays), including in the Islamic community.
If we open our hearts a bit, we might come to realize that WE, Muslims are the ones to blame the most…
This message is for all Muslims.
We haven’t truly acted upon what the Prophet and our Lord has ordered us to do. We are lost in our lives searching for riches, consuming the goods from everyone we can, depending so much on those who insulted us, following where the civilization has steered us to go, and straying away further from Allah, which in turn makes us weak and vulnerable. So weak and dependent that people step all over us yet we keep loving, adoring and obeying them as if we have no dignity.
The cure is as simple as it can be. Look into a mirror and ask yourself whether you have become a good Muslim or not.
Whether you have prayed the best prayers 5 times a day
Whether you have spent what you have in the name of Allah and for Allah’s cause
Whether you have done all you can to help the needy, poor, and the orphans that need you
Whether you depend on your Lord and only to Him (as written in Al Fatihah which we read 17 times a day at the minimum)
If we were doing what the Lord has told us to do, we would be a strong independent Ummah, and insults towards us will not be significant. Protecting the Prophet and the Lord cannot be done by burning flags, rallying protests, vandalism, etc. It’s their win when we get irritated, angry and do bad things that don’t have any benefit but to further degrade ourselves.
Protect the Prophet by being the best Muslim that you can, because I feel that it is much more significant. Feel sad, feel angry, but don’t forget to reflect on the matter, and find the best resolution for it. For now, I believe that the best resolution is to become better Muslims in every aspects of our life…. This moment is a good kick in the butt to be better people for all Muslims, including me.
