Please circulate to all From:http://islamicsystem.blogspot.com/2008/09/cartoons-insulting-muhammad-saw.html Cartoons insulting Muhammad (saw) republished in Tamil Nadu, India Insulting the honour of our beloved Messenger (saw) by the newspaperDinamalar يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْقَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآَيَاتِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْتَعْقِلُونَ "O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants,protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your deen (Pagans, Jews,Christians, Mushriks and Hypocrites) since they will not fail to do theirbest to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has alreadyappeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse.Indeed We have made plain to you the ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) ifyou understand." [TMQ 3:118] It is a well known fact that the western world harbours evil intentions anddoes not miss an opportunity to degrade Muslims! and Islam. The peak oftheir hatred was exposed when the European magazines re-published theblasphemous cartoons of Prophet (saw) imitating the Danish daily,Jyllands-Posten. In their competition for hatred the American army flushedthe noble Quran in the toilets in Afghanistan. In Netherlands Geert Wildersa degenerate parliamentarian contributed to this crusade by attacking thenoble Quran by his move entitled 'Fitna'. The western world is leastashamed of engaging in such cheap campaigns to malign Islam. From the day of inception the cheap fascist newspaper Dinamalar of TamilNadu in India has not left any stone unturned to vilify and malign Islamand spread hatred towards Muslims. For the past few months the newspaperhas reached peaks in this campaign towards Islam. Imitating the Danishdaily, the fascist local newspaper Dinamalar (Vellore Edition) re-publishedthe blasphemous cartoons in the blessed month of Ramadhan, on 2nd September2008 and deeply hurt the! Muslim sentiments. Under the guise journalism, Dinamalar's actions are clearly creating hatredand panic among people in a nation where communal tensions often lead tothe destruction of property and the loss of innocent lives. There arecountless examples that highlight the clear double standards of theauthorities towards Muslims and those who clearly provoke violence. A recent example of this hypocrisy can be observed in the actions taken bythe police during the riot organised and conducted by Hindu outfits inKashmir regarding the issue of land allocation to the Amarnath temple. Inthis riot public properties were destroyed and two policemen were brutallykilled. The government did not take any action against these Hindu groupseven when the rioters attacked the police men. At the same time whenMuslims are conducting protests in a fully peaceful way, they areaggressively treated by the police, being imprisoned on false pretexts andare even being shot and killed in the name of searching for terrorists. Bal thackera! y, leader of Shiv Sena, earlier in a speech given to the TVchannel 'Aaj Tak' stated Hindus should become suicide bombers and that theyshould carry out attacks on in Muslim localities to create panic and fearamongst Muslims. Such statements are commonly uttered by him yet he walksfreely. Can the people forget when an arrest warrant imposed on him, hesaid with pride as, "No one can arrest me and if they do so, the wholeMaharastra state will be burn". Under the guise of the false notion of 'freedom of expression' they aim todefame Islam and make it synonymous with terrorism and want to portray ourbeloved messenger, Muhammad (saw) as the Prophet of terror. This is part ofthe global 'war on terror' which any thinking person knows is in reality awar against Islam. How can this cheap daily Dinamalar dare to even think of publishing suchblasphemous cartoons depicting the Prophet (saw), whom the Muslims respectabove their own lives? Do they believe that Mus! lims have become a peopleof no sensation or those who do not have the capacity to respond or is itthat their hatred has exceeded all bounds of decency? The forces that vilify our beloved Prophet (saw) seem to be gaining anupper hand nowadays. Such fascist forces are finding a safe shelter notonly under the pretext of 'freedom of expression' but implicitly beingallowed to so by various governments. This indicates the declined state ofthe Muslims. Respecting the Prophet (saw) more than their lives is aninseparable part of Muslims Iman. Muslims must stand up to protect thehonor of Prophet (saw) and not be passive bystanders. Allah (swt) says: النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ ِ"The prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and hiswives are their (believers) mothers." [TMQ 33:6] Anas (ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «لا يؤمن عبد حتى أكون أحب إليه من أهله وماله والناس أجمعين»"None of you would be considere! d a believer until I become more belovedto him than his family, wealth and all the people." [Agreed Upon] In the past whenever such cheap acts of vilifying Islam were attempted theywere critically defeated in their attempts by the powerful Islamicleadership. George Bernard Shaw, the famous British writer said in 1913that he was stopped from writing blasphemous article about our nobleProphet (saw) by Lord Chamberlin. Chamberlin was afraid of therepercussions from the Islamic Khilafah state. Twenty years prior to thedestruction of the Khilafah, a play based on the writings of Voltaire wasbeing staged in France and Britain titled "Mohammad or Fanaticism",deriding the character of the Prophet (saw) due to his marriage to Zainab(ra). When the Khalifah (Sultan Abdul Hamid II) was informed of the play,his ambassador to France warned the government of the serious politicalrepercussions which would follow if it was continued. France promptlystopped the play, so t! he group went to England. When the same warning wasissued to England, the reply was that the tickets were sold out, andbanning the play would be an infringement on the freedom of its citizens.So the following edict was issued by the Sultan, saying in no unclearterms: "I will issue an edict to the Islamic Ummah declaring that Britainis attacking and insulting our Prophet. I will declare Jihad…" Uponreceiving this ultimatum, the claim for freedom of speech was forgotten,and the performance quickly stopped. Abu Hurayrah (ra) reports that Muhammad (saw) said: ((إنما الإمام جُنة يُقاتَل من ورائه ويُتقى به))"The Imam is a shield, from behind which the Muslims fight and defendthemselves." [Sahih Muslim] It is obligatory on all the Islamic groups to set aside their differencesand come together to counter the campaign against our beloved Prophet (saw)who came as a mercy to Mankind. They should in a united manner carryforward this struggle against this cheap newspaper Dinamalar. At the sametime they must work for a true solution, the Islamic Khilafah state thatwill cut the evil tongues which spew venom against our bellowed Prophet(saw) and that will liberate humanity from the oppression of Kufr to thejustice and mercy of Islam. History bears testimony to the justice of Islam under which Muslim andnon-Muslim lived in harmony for hundreds of years. The first Mughal rulerBabur left the following will to hi! s son Humayun who came to power afterhis death in 1530 CE this document is available in the State Library ofBhopal, India: "My son take note of the following: Do not harbour religious prejudice inyour heart. You should dispense justice while taking note of the people'sreligious sensitivities, and rites. Avoid slaughtering cows in order thatyou could gain a place in the heart of natives. This will take you nearerto the people. Do not demolish or damage places of worship of any faith anddispense full justice to all to ensure peace in the country. Islam canbetter be preached by the sword of love and affection, rather than thesword of tyranny and persecution. Avoid the differences between the Shiasand Sunnis. Look at the various characteristics of your people just ascharacteristics of various seasons." It is only this system of Islam that will bring back justice and harmonyfor Muslims and non-Muslims again. Your brothers in Tamil Nadu,!
