The religion of Islam respects freedoms far more than any laws and other
religions. Prophet Mohammed , peace be upon him (PBUH), has taught us respect of
others' freedoms and rights, principles of sound negotiation, exchange of views,
and using the right evidence and proof. One of the essential basics of freedom
is respecting human rights. Therefore, it comes as totally strange that the
Government of Denmark, while claiming respect for human rights and freedoms,
does permit the publication of such lies and distortions about Prophet Mohammed
(PBUH).
How could respect for human rights allow aggression by one person against
another, their parents and relatives by means of swearing and insult? Even
greater would be attacking and insulting someone's prophet and religious
beliefs. Islam totally rejects attacking the Prophets. Muslims deeply
genuinely keep away from any sort of insult or attack mounted against the
Prophets of all heavenly religions whom they believe in and revere. However, it
is very humiliating to see such claims falsely made around the character of the
most honorable of human beings; the one that was sent as a mercy to the world
and final messenger to humanity: Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). Blocking
ears and closing eyes to such claims and insult to the Prophet of Islam is the
gravest aggression against human rights. Moreover, it is a catalyst to
sectarian conflicts and hatred among peoples of the world; besides sowing seeds
of terrorism. If the Denmark government rejects these things, it should
prohibit and fight such acts of insult and aggression against the Prophet of
Islam rather than consider them part of the freedom of expression. Freedom
never means breaching the rights of others. Planting hatred and enmity with
Islam and Muslims is far from sound thinking and behaving on the part of any
government that claims to uphold justice.
The insistence of your government to violate the
rights of all Moslems will prompt us to boycott all Danish products in our
countries and we will call every Moslem to take similar action.
