Salam Alaikum!
Jazak Allah Khair, brother for posting this.
I for one am sick and tired of Muslims that react with violence, disrespect and vandalism to protest violence, disrespect and vandalism, and those that sit on their butts in front of a pc and try to justify it.
There is not ONE word in the Qur'an or hadith that justifies this pathetic behavior and, in fact, it is totally outside the teachings of Islam. Anyone that thinks behaving this way somehow shows the truth and beauty of Islam is way out of line and is contributing to the false image news agencies report.
And, of course, typical response is to exaggerate (like a fornicating mother), which is a ridiculous, disgusting and a pointless analogy, to try to justify one bad behavior for another. If your mother is shown in a picture fornicating, you may have other more important issues to contend with.
The poor behavior and choices of a Non-Muslim to disrespect our belief has nothing to do with pornography and should, in no way, effect our lives to the point where we are made to react like savages.
Why don't we hear more screaming and ranting when some Muslims choose to butcher our faith! When they make Islam and Muslims look like intolerant, uneducated barbarians!? Where is THAT outrage??!! Does any Muslim truly believe Prophet Muhammed, pbuh, would encourage that and behave that way?
Prophet Muhammed, pbuh, and His companions endured far more than this and NEVER ONCE behaved in this manner. How can your faith be so incredibly weak that you allow a fake picture drawn by a non-Muslim, or the uneducated words of a non-Muslim bring you so far outside the teachings of Islam. Wallahi, it boggles my mind!
We have to stop behaving like everything is a conspiracy and start taking responsibility for our own bad behavior. If we put as much energy into uniting the Ummah instead of using all that energy to blame everyone else for our division, we might actually progress!
Anyway, that's my rant.
