Prophet motive: French weekly office firebombed

November 02, 2011 10:04

The office of a French satirical newspaper was firebombed early Wednesday morning in Paris, French police say. The attack comes a day after the bitingly satirical weekly named the Prophet Mohammed as its “editor-in-chief” for this week’s edition.

While I am not surprised to se another attept to anger the muslims around the world,i still wonder why they bring Mohammd into it.Muslims never publish cartoons of Jesus Christ or Moses.  I mean if they want to show humor in muslim world they can print pictures of Moin Akhtar ,a great comedian and actor in pakistan who just died in april this year or they can print pictures of Arshad Warsi,a famous indian comedian.These are the just few names .If you google Muslim Comedians or Humor in Muslim world you would find hundreds of famous muslim comedians.If they want to show Humor in Mohammad(Peace be upon him)they can see his biography and would find many humorus moments of his life.There are several  humourus storys of his life. They could print storys of those moments without printing any pictures dippicting Mohammad and no muslim in the entire world would felt offended .Again this shows that their aim was not to show Humor in muslim would or Humor in Muhammad’s life.I mean why any one would Publish a supposed picture or cartoon of Mohammad or marked him as editor of the magazine as they knew it would offend Muslims.While I am not a sympthizer of those who threw bomb in the magazine’s office and torched it infact , I condemn it, but fact is that they brought this on themselvs.I would also like to say to muslims that stay calm as Tariq Jahan ,the father of Haroon Jahan, showed to world because the publishers of this Magazine wanted this thing to happen so they can show to the world how violent muslims are .They got what they wanted .Again I CONDMN IT .

EITHER YOU PEOPLE ARE MISLED OR LESS INFORMED  ABOUT HISTORY CIVILZATION WHICH CAME IN GONE WIPED OUT  BETTER READ HISTORY WITH OPEN MINDAS FAR AS MIDDLE EAST IS CONCREN  VISIT ONCE BEFORE YOU COMMENT  YOUR OWN PEOPLE LIVE N WORK IN PEACE  NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE [Danish politician says. My question to the Muslim population living in Europe would be. 'You want this to stop? Then why did you pack up and leave your own country for starters? Isn't it better that you returns to the same country you did came from where these values and rights are applying?' There is an entire Middle-East for this kind of thinking and behaviour. I can't reason against better knowing just because a group of religious fanaticswant us to incorporate their believes values and rights applying to Islam. I am proud over my heritage, and I intend to raise my kids based on these same values I got, because its our way of life, it is who we are. Stop messing around with it, its simply backward thinking to even question this reason without asking the unbiased questions at once, treating both those against and those for this on the same level. This is why I write this message at RT - As I now Question More.]

Islam is doomed by its own words and actions... Once the free civilized world eventually outlaws islamic sharia law, then we will slay the beast without having fired a shot.. Its that simple...

There is a threat to European freedom of speech and expression. There is a deliberate way or pretext to cut that into pieces, not for the Prophet, but because our governments want more control over what is expressed. This is their perfect motive to do so, it wont hurt the Muslim population at large, the same values and rights also apply to Islam. Simple as that, and that is the real threat to democracy, not Islam in itself, but the pretext used. This is also why Europe and Europeans at large got to stand up for these values and rights that is currently under heavy scrutiny from forces that got sinister ideas behind its justification to gag the European population. This question is biased, it is not that media asks Muslims what they think about this as in the larger community. This is concentrated to a small group of extremists, as this Danish politician says. My question to the Muslim population living in Europe would be. 'You want this to stop? Then why did you pack up and leave your own country for starters? Isn't it better that you returns to the same country you did came from where these values and rights are applying?' There is an entire Middle-East for this kind of thinking and behaviour.
