If the Prophet Can be Insulted, then the Holocaust can be Questioned (Al Watan, Libya)

 

"If, as it claims, the United States believes in freedom to the extent that it gives its citizens the right to burn the American flag if they like … is it also possible to allow the production of films questioning the validity of the alleged Holocaust of the Jews? And will American company Google leave video clips exposing the lies of Jews about the Holocaust, without deleting them from YouTube?"

Police preventing demonstrators from reaching the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta react to the tear gas dispensed by one of their colleagues. Protests over a film that insults the Prophet Mohammad have now spread to a number of other countries.

Why shouldn't we rise up and protest a film that denigrates our Holy Prophet? Don't countries oftentimes protest and revolt for the slightest insult aimed at symbols or slogans that pertain to them, let alone those that insult all of humanity? It is true that I am against attacks on embassies and diplomats, because we offered them security and agreed to their presence through diplomatic exchanges and international treaties and agreements. But one can never ignore the reaction of angry people who at a moment's notice may go up against governments and governing regimes. It is not surprising, then, that the demonstrations began in Egypt and Libya, then to Yemen, before spreading to the rest of the countries, since little time has passed since our revolutions, and their peoples have liberated themselves from the grip of oppression, which had prevented them from even demonstrating in support of our religion and Holy Prophet.

 

If , as it claims, the United States believes in freedom to the extent that it gives its citizens the right to burn the American flag if they like … is it also possible to allow the production of films questioning the validity of the alleged Holocaust of the Jews? And will American company Google leave video clips exposing the lies of Jews about the Holocaust, without deleting them from YouTube, or will it only take measures it prevent it from being viewed in Israel alone, and leave it for the rest of humanity to see?

We must produce films and publish books in all languages to spread the genuine values of the Islamic faith and its teachings on toleration to reach those who are ignorant about them around the world. We must spread the true image of the Islamic faith, which is falsified by media in all the Western countries with the supported of Zionists.

Leaving aside any assumptions, the question uppermost in my mind is about the complete absence, so far, of any statement or announcement by those who classify themselves as members of the political elite.

 

According to Martin Luther King, "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict." I believe we are living through a time of great moral trial which requires serious, ceaseless work in order to preserve the prestige of the Islamic religion and the Holy Prophet in all the parts of the world. Unfortunately, even the denunciations and condemnations we expected from Muslim Arab leaders have been very late in coming, or not made at all!
