Muslims Protest Against Denmark

To whom it may concern:
Peace be upon those who follow the true guidance
I have reviewed what some of the news agencies dealt with
concerning the Danish news agency Jyllands-Posten and what had been
published. I believe it to be a heinous mistake and dreadful
deviation from the path of justice, reverence and equality.
The said agency published 12
cartoon caricatures on the 30th of September, 2005, ridiculing
Mohammed, the messenger of Islam (Peace be upon him). One of these
cartoons pictures Allah's Messenger (PBUH), wearing a turban that
resembles a bomb wrapped around his head. What a pathetic
projection! I was extremely saddened to read such news.
I personally visited the site of the agency on the net and i examined the size of the blundering scandal it was. On Sept 29th, 2005 issue of Jyllands-Posten, the news and the cartoons were horrifying and extremely disturbing to me.

There have been many violent protests against the cartoons since
the cartoons were first published, in which many people have
been injured and many people even lost there lives (reports
say fifty) as a result of those protests. So how could these
news agencies be so irresponsible as to re-publish the sickening
cartoons?
The contemporary world is
witnessing today much confusion all over. Innocent blood is being
shed and innocent lives are being harvested by oppression and
transgression. We are in utmost need to spread peace, justice and
love all over the world. We need to call for the respect and
reverence of all divine and heavenly Messages and Scriptures. By
doing so, we would be able to preserve the divine messages and
demonstrate love, appreciation and reverence to the Prophets and
Messengers of Allah The Almighty to this world. We would help to
preserve the souls, honor and belongings of all mankind and we
would further demonstrate the respect and honor of the human rights
all over the world.
The claim of Jyllands-Posten
newspaper that they allow, promote and practice freedom-of-speech,
by publishing cartoons ridiculing Mohammed the Prophet of Islam, is
a non-convincing claim. All of the world's constitutions and
international organizations insist on and demand to respect all the
Prophets and Messengers of Allah, the Almighty. Moreover, they
confirm the necessity to respect the Divine Messages, respect
others and do not attack the privacy, dignity and honor and
principles of others. In the International World Federation Council
of media and press people, it is stated:
'Media people must be alert of risks that may arise as a result of prejudice and discrimination implied by the media. The Council would exert every possible effort to avoid being involved in such calls, which are based on prejudice and religion, or other social differences discrimination. A media man may commit a dangerous professional deviation such as: claiming other's work, ill-interpretation of facts, false accusations of others, condemning others for no basis, accusing others with their integrity and honor for no sound basis or accepting bribes to either publish or prevent the publishing of specific materials. A noteworthy media-person should believe that it is their duty to give an honest attention to the aforementioned items, and through the general framework of the law in each country.' Therefore, we also base our opinion and/or statements herein on an honest and sound media proclamation requesting the Danish newspaper to apologize for what they did. The proclamations states: (The media person would exert every possible effort to correct, modify any published information that he/she noticed that they are inaccurate and/or harmful to others.) Undoubtedly, what the Danish newspaper; Jyllands-Posten published is harmful not only for more than two hundred thousand Danish citizen, but also to more than one-billion-three-hundred-million Muslims along with others who are fair and just people. All these hurt people honor, respect and love Mohammed the Prophet (PBUH). This action will continue to hurt and harm all muslims so long as we live on the face of this earth. Denmark, if it does not deal with this problem on a fair ground, will also continue to be a source of harm and revulsion to many Muslims. This is because of the mentality of some Danish individuals who are anti-prophets, messengers and divine messages. We would like to remind also with the decree which the Human Rights Agency in the United Nations adopted on the 12th of April, 2005. This decree insisted on the ban of distortions and vicious attacks against religions and especially Islam; which had been strongly attacked in the last few years..

Finally, I would like to inform you that all Muslims will certainly stop their commercial business dealing with Denmark until they openly and officially apologize for the shameful attack to the person of Allah's Messenger (PBUH) by Jyllands-Posten newspaper and the other news organizations which have followed their example.
