Dear
Readers, Assalam Alaikum. Anger is a negative emotion, but to feel a right anger and to the right degree and to the right person is a righteous action, Aristotle the Master of Metaphor, states. So we the Muslims, have a right to be rightly angry at the deliberate and malicious attempts of mocking the finest human being in the history of humanity. Such reprehensible acts cause immense pain to any right thinking person and not just to a Muslim.The sophistries attached to the misnomer called free speech will continue to be hurled at us, like before. The great game of double standards and worst hypocrisy played to the hilt by the West and its media will go on unabated. This is never going to stop. We must understand. As suggested by Aristotle expressing our right anger in the right way is vital in our fight against these deliberate provocations of maligning the Last Messenger, peace be upon him. Making violent protests is like playing right into the hands of our arch enemies, just as amusing a protest it is to ask, the followers of Muhammad (S.A.W.), to send him a gift of reciting Durood Shareef 5,000 times a day! This conundrum of what is the right action to do in such a critical situation can be solved to an extent by our peaceful protests, and complete and strict boycotts of the goods produced by the very countries which promote such reprehensible acts, in the name of freedom. Hurt them where it hurts the most! The language of economics is after all the best language, to speak in, in this particular scenario. But what would definitely help may be coming together of all the Muslim countries and press for, forming a law against such crimes [be it a film, cartoons or essays or fiction], at the international level, on the lines of the law against anti-Semitism. Alas, the Western rhetoric of free speech sounds so hollow and empty, when it comes to this! This law should be made and be seen to be implemented strictly. If we can’t do this much, then well, Allama Iqbal is always there to remind us, Kee Muhommad se wafaa tu ne toh hum tere hain Yeh jahan cheez hai kya lauh o qalam tere hain Rights are natural and must be guaranteed but my right for expression should not stomp upon your right to hold sacred what you think is right. The West should not expect the rest of us to be following in their footsteps where and as they demand. Recently one of my learned friends put it like this to his British colleague, “Just because you dump your mothers in old age homes and feel proud of parading your wives semi –naked, doesn’t mean that we should be doing the same!” The hour has approached for the West to realize that it is civilized an act to appreciate and respect the differences this humanity shares among itself, while still being in perfect harmony with each other and together. The hour is also for us the Muslims to be re presenting the noble teachings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, through our characters, through our practices. Let’s spread the word - the word of Islam, the word of peace as given to us by the one Messenger who was sent for the whole of humanity. A Muslim organization in London ‘protested’ by way of gifting translations of the holy Quran and books of Seerah to people around them. A marvelous way of doing the work which my Prophet (S.A.W.) did for nearly 23 years, regardless of what came his way! The West till now has heard only our ‘voice’, now let’s make them hear our ‘word’. Ms. Asma Anjum Khan Editor-in-chief
