Protesting the wrong
Through this letter I condemn the attacks on US ambassador and diplomats on 11th September 2012. I also protest against the film which triggered this violence and resulted in the death of 4 US diplomats. The film insulted our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). My question is, when the filmmaker was aware of the fact that such a movie could spread violence, then why did he make it in the first place? And why is it that when the Westerners hurt the beliefs of the Muslims, it becomes their freedom of expression but when the Muslims speak against the wrongs they do against other people, they (Muslims) become terrorists?
We must live in this world in unity and peacefully; we must learn how to respect others' views. Hatred of people of one faith against that of the other must end.
However, we demand punishment of those who triggered this violence. May Almighty Allah guide us all to the straight and humble path of peace.
