Defamation not Free Speech

Dear Sir,





I'd like to congratulate you for this effort of trying to bring Muslims anger out ... you succeeded in your mission and also in losing confidence in your country by Muslims all over the world not the Arabs only ....





You are asking where terrorism come from??!!...Strange!!! ....Terrorism is not only by actions but also some words can do injury more than bullets can.





Actually terrorism isnt an Islamic trade mark, in case you dont know, it exists every where, it is a nature in some people no matter to what race, religion or nationality they belong.





Well I wish that you will put into consideration how we Muslims feel regarding our prophet being insulted & defamed in such a way.


It will be a black spot in the history between our people and yours...





It is a shame to call insulting and hurting other people feelings a free speech and freedom in opinion. Everything should have a limit especially when it comes to other peoples beliefs. Allow me to say that by proclaiming that it is a free speech you are deteriorating the meaning of liberty. I believe you should read more in the Islamic history to understand the meaning of freedom and to learn how to practice it.





Criticism in a sarcastic way is sometimes healthy but what was published in the Jyllands-Posten on 30-9-2005 can not be called criticism it is something you should be ashamed of because nothing of what youve published has to do anything with reality. You should have read the biography of prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) before writing such disgraceful things about him, if you read his biography you will realize that when prophet Mohamed came with his message from God it came for all people and God chose him because of his endless mercy and love for all human beings.... Islams message is mercy and peace and that is obvious in our salute Alsalam alaykom which means Peace be upon you.





I only have one question you should also ask yourself. Would you have considered it also a free speech if those caricatures were about the Holocaust? And what would your government reaction be towards those who drew them?





I am asking you not to start hatred between Muslims and your country... we respect you but your reaction towards that subject shows that you dont respect us.


It is not about free speech ... free speech has its limits meaning that any one can talk freely but must stop when it comes to others spiritual beliefs or when speaking about a subject that it considered of a sensitive nature to certain people....





So please our demand is to take a positive step that would be considered satisfactory by Muslims, since as we respect you we are expecting that you will respect our prophet (peace be upon him) as well as our religion and to stop being prejudice against Islam and Muslims.
