The Blasphemy
The blasphemous cartoons have yet again intensified the already heated up relationships of the Muslims and the West. I have always been the supporter of open dialogue and analyze the matter with all possible unbiased angles. Unfortunately , the falling societies and nations always see the issue with conspiracy theories eyes , due to which , we are unable to diagnose the correct way to cope up this embarrassing situation and putting overselves on reverse track to expose before the world as a myopic reactionary people.
Our emotional country Pakistan , once again played a non-productive vibrant role through imposing ban over Facebook, Youtube , Wikipedia and many other websites to record the protest against the blasphemous acts recently made on Facebook Groups.
First of all, it must be understood that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not an ordinary human being. He has entriely different stature , and being a Prophet , comparing with other humans is totally indefensible ; and this stature has been directly given by the God. Therefore, any reason for his blasphemy favoring from the norms of “Freedom of Speech” is unjustifiable , since, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a divine personality and million of people are follower of him and keep sacred love with him. In addition , blasphemy leads to dishearten the millions of people which is supposed against the spirit of “Freedom of Speech” democratic theory. We must embrace that these heinous acts are being done by very tiny groups and on the other hand most educated masses of West condemn such nonsense . Despite all, West needs to understand , that these tiny elements may damage the inter-religious balance of the world, it need to be addressed at high intellectual levels to avoid further misunderstanding and growing rigid theories to deglobalize the humanity. Further, it must be appreciated that Muslims , despite all odds , respect and love all Prophets i.e. Jesus (PBUH) and Moses (PBUH) ; and it is a legal obligation on Muslim to belive in all Prophets and without it ,he/she can not be called “Muslim”.
As far the character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is concered , prior to presenting in front of the world, this first need to educate and teach to Muslims, since , present day Muslim are blind emotionalist and never ever read , how Prohet Muhammad (PBUH) contented with such situation , as this blasphemy has been happening from their time. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught the love, patience and positive attitude towards such senarios but we are totally unaware of his teaching and come up with foolish plans and negative tactics to protest proving as immatured nation of the world. This is interesting to note that protest is the invention as a result of struggle for democracy in the West. But, we shout against the enemy through his instruments.
Instead of conducting debates and open dialouge with western media and various plateforms to present our correct point of view about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) , showing his true character , we followed the Ostrich attitude through boycotting the Facebook, Youtube, Wikipedia and other websites. One must need to understand , through, boycotting these websites , we have actually left the battlefield and closed the the door of education and thirst of knowledge on our generation. we had to present our opinion with arguments and defeat them academically. On top of all , we are getting happy that we have conquered the world through these timid steps.
In addition , this blasphemous issue is more echoed around the world mostly by the Muslims , through joining blasphemous group on Facebook and propogating information about it, although, the wise act was to remain silent and make clear their misconceptions through academic arguments , since , their argument for this blasphemous act is based on Muslim suicidal bomb blast stretegy on Non-combatant non-muslims. Therefore, we also need to understand the root causes of blasphemy. It is more dishearting to note, our educated and religous class do not understand that how such reactionary protest and material is further defaming us. We have new and modern cloths, cars and luxurious homes but our mind set is still 200 years old who behaves like childish brains.
There are thousands of Islamic groups and organization are working on Facebook, Youtube and Wikipedia to propogate and preach the true message of Allah , but, this ban is a big hurdle to do so. If a non-muslim requires some information about Islam from wikipedia, what he will do; may be he run away from truth. These are minor things but have great meaning , if think unbiasly. Why we want to degrade and put West in the Hell , instead , we should have intense desire to convert them into Islam and allow them to taste Jannah in hereafter. If this mindset is followed, our 70% of issues would automatically start to resolve. We must need to finish hate and follow positive attitude towards West , to avoid blasphemy incidents because love and peace can heal the deepest wounds, but on contrary anger and hate only work as catalyst to further ignite the issues.
