Reformist Muslims Announce a Cartoon and Drawing Competition about
Muhammad and Islam.
http://19.org/index.php?id=82,359,0,0,1,0
As islamic reformers and progressive muslims, we believe that people
should have legal right to express their opinion or dissent without fear of
governments or mobs. In that regard, we applaud the people of Denmark for not
censoring their media. History has proven that truth and justice cannot
flourish in an environment of suppression and oppression. Though the
cartoonists depicted and insulted our beloved prophet Muhammad, a figure that
we consider dearer to us than our fathers and mothers, we stand by the rights
of cartoonists to express their views.
Comment:
If Islam is the truth as these people claim then why is it in need of
reform, surely only things which are not valid or correct need reformation?
There is no moderate, progressive, fundamentalist or extremist titles in
Islam, you are either a practicing Muslim or one who is trying their best to
improve their practice of Islam based upon the understanding that we have been
created and put on this world by a creator who will test us in this life and
take our life at a fixed point in time. If these people think that freedom of
speech should be allowed to flourish and not restricted then why are they
offended when Islam is attacked and insulted? This group of people have been
severely influenced by the western culture and are trying to reconcile between
the truth and falsehood hence the contradictory message.

{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. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
