Gabriel Presents Mecca to Muhammad, from the Mirajname, Tabriz, beginning of the 14th century. Topkapi Sarayi, Hazine 2154, folio 107a. As we can see the taboo of Muhammad’s representation is far from having been absolute
For many days, the world is shaken by furious debates, “do everybody have the right to make jokes or critics against a religion, even under the name of freedom ?” Firstly, concerning the publication of these 12 Danish pictures, I did’nt want to take a position. If we except the fact that it is probably a trick of islamists, in this case, all belligerants are assholes. or hypocrits, that is worse.
Most of drawings are without talent, often very bad, and some show muslims as in any extreme-right wing trashy newspaper, all greedy to make themseleves explode in public places and to fornicate with dozens of Virgins in Paradise.
From the other hand, muslims are quite hypocrit, or particularly moron, when they awoke only for caricatures of a rag without importance, while everyday, in many states officially respectful of Islam and Prophet, muslims’ rights are abused, insulted, and their dignity – as human and not only believers – is ridiculed under torture more seriously than with such drawings. But it is surely easier to attack Western democracies than their own leaders.
Obvious hypocrysy of European newspapers, which 20 times per month, despize freedom of expression by lying down front of their financial supports, or caring to not trouble their good friend politicians. But this case allows them to play comfortably the role of heroic and free minded journalists.
Then, really, not the will to defend one side.
But I adore the movement of “spontaneous demonstration” in Syria : hundred of furious mulims burning the Danish and Norwegian embassy, without the police force intervening… When we remember the feroce repression of any demonstration against the Syrian regime, for example like the Kurdish party Yekitî makes a peaceful sit-in in Damascus… and when we think how the former President Hafez al Asad crushed Muslim Borthers’ revolt in 1982, executing thousands of members and destroying whole districts of Hama.. Difficult to believe in the spontaneousness of these riots. Islamist in Syria have the right to move only the regime wishes it. Or when, ordered by Saudis (as people murmur in Syria) they can rapt and kill under torture a Kurdish sheikh naqshanbi which was too tolerant, too humanistic, and democratic…
The embassy of France, on the other hand, was not burnt. The demonstrators were made disperse with water cannon, proving that police forces can distinguish the “small non-friendly countries”” with the “friendly countries which support us against the malicious US “… Slight reprimand of principle for France thus, quickly repressed, vs “vagueness of indignation” for Scandinavians. These are ersults the “Arab Policy of France”, I suppose.
And now we learn that Kurdish muslims could be so moron than others. Thus, hundreds of demonstrators protested in Silêmanî, led by the Minister of Religious Issues, Maruf Gaznayi, against a book written by a Kurdish author, which critics Islam.
I guess that a very few number of demosntrators have red the book “Sex, women and Sharia in the History of Islam”. But Kurdish ulemas claimed that Mariwan Halabjayi criticizes Islam and Muhammad, then everybody go down in the street !
Gaznayi stated that laws punishes “defamation” and “critics of religion” (fine position concerning freedom of opinion) : ” “We will give those who attack our prophets a sentence so that they can be a lesson for everyone—, (so we could guess already independance of tribunals).
In the same way, demonstrators claim against Danish caricatures.
But if we read Kurdish comments under the news, we can see this reaction is not at all unanimously approved.
Last question : After having announced, loudly and publically, the “unification of Kurdish gonerments”, why his “ministry of Silêmanî” is still in activity ?
[…] Along the same vein Roj Bash! has an excellent posting about Islam, Mohammad and his Critics that looks at the historical implications. Plus there is a wonderful posting of a translation of another Kurdish blogger who writes primarily in Kurdish on the same subject. […]
If the civilised world betrays Denmark . Warmongers and
aggresive thugs under the pretext of religious affiliations
make the world uglier than it is now.
The latest position of European Union in supporting Denamark
is a positive step.
The so called Islamic world if its sincere in its pronuncements
should reject all human values and technology derived from
western culture , and then rule people in the misery of Muhemadan era !
These ridiculous burnings of flags and attacking buildings must stop now!
A “muslem”
