Following the release of a seriously profane film against the messenger
Muhammad (saws) thousands of Muslims have taken to the streets all over
the world. American embassies in every continent are on high alert
and security has been stepped up with the possibility of arson attacks.
Many in the west are in shock at the reactions of the Muslims and some
–including Hilary Clinton- feel that this anger is somewhat misdirected.
How responsible is the American government?
The American establishment has previously held the whole of Iraq responsible for the supposed ‘weapons of mass destruction’ that one dictator held, and the whole of Afghanistan responsible for holding one man that one group of people held. Therefore even by its own logic, America would be responsible for the recent attack on the messenger Muhammad (pbuh).
Despite having a long track-record of going against the very notion of ‘freedom’; America has always maintained that the right to live in a free society is at the heart of its values and constitution. It is through this fallacy that much of the western worlds including many American citizens and organizations have had the audacity to mock and ridicule some of the greatest messengers sent to mankind. It has become common to see some western media outlets, authors, and artists push an unequivocal level of profanity against figures such as Moses, Jesus and the final messenger Muhammad (May peace and blessings be upon them all). Any reaction against such blasphemy is always labelled as ‘intolerant’ or an ‘inability to take criticism’; however this is far from the case.
Muslims are always willing to engage in dialogue and discussion no matter how critical it may be. There is however a distinction between fair critiquing and insulting - Muslims will never accept or tolerate the latter.
The inevitable end of those who insult Islam
Every person who has ever insulted the messenger Muhammad (pbuh) has failed to live a normal life thereafter. The fear of facing the Islamic justice in this life leads to a life of extensive paranoia, and the punishment to come in the hereafter will be even more so. America as a nation has bred and sheltered some of the most wicked and most blasphemous people in this regard. The plots to de-sensitise or pacify the Muslims on such an issue will never succeed, and we as the successors of all of the prophets and messengers (pbuh) will never forget those individuals, institutions or organizations that once mocked the pride and honour of Islam.
