The Mohammad cartoons were first published in a Danish paper, Jyllands-Posten, in September. The Danish government initially ignored complaints from the country’s Muslims, who then took their campaign to the Middle East and Asia. Jyllands-Posten has apologised for causing offence to Muslims, although it maintains it was legal under Danish law to print the cartoons.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister, made a belated attempt yesterday to end the row by calling in about 70 ambassadors, including those from Muslim-dominated countries. But Mona Omar Attia, the Egyptian ambassador, said she would recommend that diplomatic action against Denmark should continue.
The cartoons have since been published by several other European media in France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain - saying they were exercising their right to free speech.
One shows the Prophet wearing a headdress shaped like a bomb. In another he says paradise is running short of virgins for suicide bombers.
In other ways, Islamic tradition bans depictions of the Prophet or Allah.
And because of the free speech of one newspaper, the governments of many Muslim nations are encouraging a boycott of every company in Denmark. Several firms with formerly large subsidiaries in the Middle East have been put out of business in the region, and in several cases their employees have been attacked.
Let’s see what’s other Muslim’s dislikes so we could respect a head to them.
This would be as silly as disliking the actions of the United States and deciding to burn down a Kentucky Fried Chicken and kill all its employees.
Let’s see the past…
The Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh dared to make a movie of a script by a Muslim woman in which she depicts the treatment of women in many Islamic societies. It was judged “offensive to Islam†by some — so Van Gogh was shot, stabbed, hacked, and beat to death on the street.
Salman Rushdie’s book, The Satanic Verses, offended Islam, according to the Ayatollah Khomeini, so he issued a death sentence against the English author to be carried out on sight anywhere in the world. Mr. Rushdie has lived in hiding in his allegedly “free†society ever since.
Other less well-known artists are also under death threat for work published in Europe or America, but judged offensive half a world away. And the complaints about offense go to the smaller end of the spectrum as well. A British bar owner was forced to remove a “no porking†sign from his parking lot because it was “offensive to Islam.†Pictures of Piglet have been removed from British government offices because Piglet is allegedly “offensive to Islam.â€
Artwork was removed from a gallery in Sweden because it was “offensive to Islam.†An Italian author was brought up on hate crime charges because her opinions were “offensive to Islam.â€
Some offensive for Islam recorded here too, Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam, Coca Cola labels are offensive to Islam, Burger King Ice Cream lids are offensive to Islam, Levi’s jeans ads are offensive to Islam. ( Islam dislikes compiled by Steven Moyer )
A global precedent is being set here. If they are smart, other media outlets will fall in behind Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten and establish that they will be censored by neither government nor religion. Several European papers have reprinted the cartoons as an act of solidarity and defiance — including one that declared “Yes, we have the right to blasphemy.â€
Then you will see how a religion conduct the whole part of this world civilization.
