"I condemn stupidity. I don't give a damn about some idiot and his film. The US government has nothing to do with this, nor do innocent embassy employees. Almost everyone I know thinks the protests are beyond stupid. Practice your faith, be peaceful, and be a GOOD EXAMPLE. All you protesters are just setting us back a thousand miles. Islam is peaceful. Your version is wacked."
I can't believe that people in the Muslim world thinks that the US gevernment or the American people are responsible for one stupid poorly made movie . Can't you see how this reflects on you .
People in West should know how much we Muslims love our beloved Prophet (pbuh). And they are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
People in Europe can be jailed for just questioning the actuality of the holocast massacre because it hurt the sentiments of the Jews. Muslims are being hurt in the name of ‘freedom of speech’ which cannot be acceptable and require proper legislation to be made to avoid such incidence.
The Legislation, of the type you ask for, of the freedom of speech laws would mean that it is not freedom of speech! Now let me ask you this. Why do we Muslims get so mad at a movie or cartoon, but we seem to have no problem with the cartoons, movies, or even toys made in the image of ANY of our other prophets? They are all equally as import to Islam.
First, "proper legislation" would run contrary to the principles of free speech. Second, deniers of the holocaust are not jailed because of the "sentiments of the Jews", rather because nothing so horrible must ever happen again.
Double standards again...Jews are humans but Muslims are even below animals, cause in the western countries there are organizations for the animals rights ...beside Hitler is responsible about the Holocaust not the Palestinians, so Israel should be in Germany not in an Arab Land!!! Justice is lost...American can kill innocent people in Iraq or Afghanistan and Israel can kill Palestinians, but when those people are defending themselves it becomes terrorism!!! Do you really believe in freedom of speech? I doubt it...
Fair point about the location of Israel and plenty of Westerners agree with your views on America. But exactly who are defending themselves against whom and being accused of being terrorists? Do you mean the people who bombed London, Madrid, Istanbul? Who exactly do you think they were defending? Do you think those victims (including many Muslims) were NOT innocent? What is your point? That 9/11 was self defence?! One only needs to look at these posts to see where the brainwashed, uninformed, kneejerk, over emotional, illogical viewpoints are coming from. And so much blind hate. Religion of Peace, is it really? Not much evidence for that nowadays. Listen to yourself. Still, according to the principles of free speech, which you yourself are happily exercising, you are entitled to vent your irrational spleen. And, we always wonder, why learn English and get a Western education if you are so against its underlying principles? No need to answer, we can see you will not be up to understanding the ironies at play
Dhofar is the Southern province in the Sultanate of Oman. Salalah is the capital city of Dhofar (in fact, the only main city). Our little corner of the world is unique in many ways. If you look at the labels at the bottom right of this page and check out some of my older posts, you'll know why. As a Dhofari, I have insider's input. If you read my posts (old and new), you'll begin to appreciate (if not already) the richness of our amazing little world. Salalah is very special, and very different. Tribes, nature, mystery, magic, jinn, you name it. If you're wondering why I'm fluent in English, it's because I spent several years studying abroad. However, I am a Salalah girl through and through. I do not blog as often as I used to because my life is insane, but don't give up on me. I do write. I've been writing for EIGHT years! I have a lot of positive (and rather amusing) things to write about. Many of my posts revolve around women. I do not aim to only criticize the society in Salalah or the way of life. I am proud of who we are and how we live. I only intend to tell it as it is.

ReplyDeleteWell said. Thank you

@ MTI: Nice one, good answer
ReplyDeleteI am CHRISTIAN and I am AGAINST the Video about the PROPHET...
ReplyDeleteI have a question though: "HOW come all the people in this photo are MEN only? where is the other 1/2 of your population?
Veiled and 'circumcized', imprisoned in their homes, bearing non-stop babies... I take it this was a rhetorical question?
DeleteExactly - and btw the same as in the "cartoon" case a couple of years back.

Delete1. I am sure our Prophet would be horrified to see how much his teaching is wilfully abused and how the murder of innocents in his name is condoned
ReplyDelete2. Oh, really? Quite sure about that, are you?
3. Wasn't the Arab Spring supposed to be about fighting for freedom of speech? Oh, sorry, only when convenient

ReplyDeleteYeah, and not only their own lives. Anybody else's will do
