Assalamualaikum
The first time [Danish Newspaper]
produces cartoons insulting our prophet, no major and decisive action done
especially by muslim organisations [OIC] or any so-called muslim countries
[apart from boycotting which was done mainly on individual basis]
Of course, if no firm action was
done by muslim on the first instance [Danish issue], non-muslim [and you see now
it was done by Christian!!] will see that muslim are so weak and cannot even
defend their own rights and dignity. Hence, non-muslim will not afraid to insult
muslim again and again and they will continue doing this until we lost it
all.
This is the reality of the
cowardness especially of the muslim countries. We talk so much and little action
!! [shame to have big organisation like OIC, big in name, molecule in
action]

Subject: CATHOLICS PUBLISH CARTOON OF RASULULLAH (S.A.W.) CHOPPED UP
IN HELL The US-based fascist "Opus Dei", whose founder praised Hitler for "saving" Spain from communism, has now insulted Rasulullah (S.A.W.) through one of its Italian publications, Studi Cattolici (Catholic Studies). For more information from an independent source on the fascist Roman Catholic secret society "Opus Dei", see: http://www.mond.at/opus.dei/opus.dei.uo.faq.html Also see the second article below "OPUS DEI IN THE U.S." from the website of the fascist Opus Dei itself. Please note that 2 articles follow: *Cartoon of Muhammad in hell *OPUS DEI IN THE U.S. --- (1) Cartoon of Muhammad in hell AFP 15/04/2006 http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1917276,00.html Rome - An Italian magazine close to the influential Catholic conservative Opus Dei group has published a cartoon showing the Prophet Mohammed in hell, sparking outrage among Muslim associations in Italy. The drawing is published in the March issue of Studi Cattolici. According to the Italian news agency Ansa, the cartoon shows the Italian poets Dante Alighieri and Virgil on the edge of a circle of flames looking down on Mohammed, whose body is cut in half. "Isn't that Mohammed?" Virgil is shown asking Dante. "Yes, and he's cut in two because he has brought division to society," replies Dante. Cartoons by 12 artists, first published in a Danish newspaper in September and later reprinted in a number of other mainly European dailies, sparked Muslim protests worldwide. Studi Cattolici editor Cesare Cavalleri said: "I hope the publication of this drawing won't lead to attacks, because if that happened it would only prove the idiotic positions of Islamic extremists. "Sometimes a politically incorrect satirical cartoon can do some good. It's only a reference to a passage in (Dante's) Divine Comedy. "In any case, Mohammed was sent to hell by Dante." The cartoon drew immediate fire from Italy's Muslim community. Roberto Piccardo, an official of the union of Italian Muslim communities, said: "With all the efforts made in the Christian and Muslim world for inter-faith dialogue, there are nevertheless always minorities that inflame things and cause provocations." http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1917276,00.html --- (2) OPUS DEI IN THE U.S. http://www.opusdei.us/sec.php?s=379 Opus Dei is a Catholic institution working in more than 60 countries around the world. It has activities in many of the major U.S. cities. A brief account of Opus Dei's history and activities in the United States. Opus Dei began its apostolic activities in the United States in Chicago in 1949, when Sal Ferigle, a young physics graduate student, and Fr. Joseph Muzquiz, one of the first 3 priests to be ordained for Opus Dei, arrived in Chicago. The first center was established near the University of Chicago. Today there are more than 3,000 members in the United States, and a great many more people who participate in Opus Dei's activities of spiritual formation. These activities are organized from 60 centers in 19 cities: Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Delray Beach, Florida; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; Milwaukee; New York; Pittsburgh; Princeton, New Jersey; Providence; St. Louis; San Antonio; San Francisco; South Bend, Indiana; South Orange, New Jersey; Urbana, Illinois; and Washington, D.C. Opus Dei also organizes activities in many other cities. The Prelature of Opus Dei uses seven conference centers for retreats and seminars. They are located near Boston, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. A number of Opus Dei members are involved in programs to assist the underprivileged. Supplementary educational programs at Midtown and Metro Centers, for example, have helped thousands of African-American and Hispanic youth in inner-city Chicago. Around 95 percent of the students at Midtown and Metro graduate from high school, and 89 percent go on to college (as compared to 20 percent of their peers not in the program). Similar programs exist in the South Bronx section of New York, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. Additionally, Opus Dei members, in cooperation with others, operate one college and five secondary schools in the United States: Lexington College in Chicago, the only all-women's college of hospitality management in the United States; The Heights and Oakcrest near Washington, D.C.; Northridge Prep and The Willows near Chicago; and the Montrose School near Boston. In 1991, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Archbishop of Chicago, entrusted the parish of St. Mary of the Angels to priests of Opus Dei. The Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., and the Holy Cross Chapel in Houston, Texas, have also been entrusted to priests of Opus Dei. Opus Dei's U.S. headquarters are located in New York City. Currently serving as Vicar for the United States is Msgr. Thomas Bohlin. http://www.opusdei.us/sec.php?s=379 *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.
