Over the past few days a great deal of controversy is underway over a set of 12 comics published by a Danish Newspaper called Jyllands Posten, the Muslim world is abuzz with calls for boycotting all Danish products and impact has already been felt by dairy giant Aria Foods for sales having already plummeted to zero as reported by BBC.
These comical interpretations are actually an attempt to portray the image of Prophet Mohammed which has created an uproar worldwide sparking yet another attack on peaceful Muslims, in the form of an organised propaganda/assault to further irritate the Muslims. This attack technically is not a direct assault on Muslims but is being used as an irritant to entice some sort of reaction. Sadly it seems as if the Muslims continue to be pushed into a corner espcailly after 9/11 and continue to remain in the intense investigative spotlight for a good five years. Sometimes my heart screams Enough is Enough, lets try to figure out what exactly is the root cause of evil.
An open apology has been issued by the Editor in Chief of the paper.
In our opinion, the 12 drawings were sober. They were not intended to be offensive, nor were they at variance with Danish law, but they have indisputably offended many Muslims for which we apologize.
……They aren’t explicitly graphic but tend to mock the one person Muslims consider and hold very dear to their heart, if the Danish paper had no idea about the emotional attachment to this sacred figure then it I think they are so naive that someone should advise them to close shop and move on.

Hello Buddies,,,It was all the Shit the Danish News Paper had tried to do,,but being the Followers of our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhmmad ,,I must all the Muslims of the World to teach the sinners by talk not by harming hands,,,,,as our Holy prophet says”’
A true muslim is one ,by whom an another human safe,,and our our holy prophet has taught us to be in peace and forgive the enemies,,,if we forgive them we will be the true lovers of Holly Muhammad
The entire incident is portrayed as a group of artists exercising thier so called freedom of expression, but in my opinion there is a bigger game going on. Who can benift from such aoutragous and shameful acts. The personality they are trying to ridicule (curse on those people) is felt as most sacred even to muslims who do not practice the religion wholeheartedly. It seems as a deliberate effort to start the conflicts of civilizatiosn and to alienate the Muslims further. On the other side this could be taken as an oppertunity by the muslims to get thier act straight and for Allah Sake this is the time for the governments of Muslim states to join voices and actions against this. if we dont do that, what are we waitning for ? what next goddammed act might be contemplated by these people.
The one … who made these cartoons will never ever live in peace now … i can bet … coz he made fun of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) .. the great messenger of God … I think … Muslims must protest against such a foolish n controversy thing … n May God punish all of them who took part in publishing it … Aamin

i think knowledge is power, so to really say or write about something like this the author is surpose to carry out its proper investigation about a particiular religion and how the worshiper take certain thing. to relate with the muslim world u need to know islam not necesary u practice it.seek first knowledge to be able to get the power. i think this is wat the author fail to do.and he also did not seek opinion from those that are concern.this is the reason he had the problem.well i think he need to try send messages not fictions. this will help him alot
FRIST IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST POWER FULL i would like 2 say that all the muslims should be strong like IRAN bcoz they have strong will and no fear 4m super powers.We all have 2 strong faith and always remember the sacrifice of mohammad and his family(Mohammad o alle Mohammad)who gave a really great sacrifice 4 islam always remember IMAM HUSSAIN and his great shadat 4 islam salam 2 all muslima

the artist who drew the pictures of the Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H)has died in a
fire. He was burned alive. Denmark government is
hiding the news from the public and everyone has got to know.
Plz spread this….
(its the price one must pay 4 the insult of Allahs Prophet)
plz copy and paste this as many ppl ignore forwaded mails…
thank you for your co operation.
Guys whatever the artist did was definitely wrong and people can protest for that. But I am shocked to see the attitude of young and enlightened(?) Muslims here who want to burn him alive, kill him, chop his hands etc.
Guys people need to change with the times. The bane of Islam is that it has not changed and is still rigid and fundamentalist as it was centuries ago. That is why the Muslims in the world are cornered today. Don’t take it heart but think rationally wherever there is problem in the world today is because of Islamic fundamentalism. There are countries where still people’s hands are chopped off if they steal and small kids are also treated like that!!
Still women wear burkas and anyone can divorce their wives by saying talaq three times!!!
I mean in this era of civilization these kinds of barbaric thought processes would take you nowhere. Rather than spending your efforts to shout and say that Islam is the best religion and the only way of attaining penance and by killing the so called ‘kafirs’ and pagans you would get a virgin, I think you guys can direct your energies to something more positive and constructive.
Guys the young genaration of Muslims around the world has to change the face of the religion, by writing such comments you are only reinforcing the belief of the world that most of you are fundamentalists and intolerants who cannot give anything constructive to the world!!
For Chetan:
Answer is extracted from http://www.irf.net/irf/faqonislam/index.htm .
Doesnt Islam promote violence, bloodshed and brutality since the Quran says that Muslims should kill the kuffar where ever they find them?
Answer:
A few selected verses from the Quran are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of Islam.
1. Verse from Surah Taubah
The following verse from Surah Taubah is very often quoted by critics of Islam, to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed and brutality:
“Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them.”
[Al-Quran 9:5]
2. Context of verse is during battlefield
Critics of Islam actually quote this verse out of context. In order to understand the context, we need to read from verse 1 of this surah. It says that there was a peace treaty between the Muslims and the Mushriqs (pagans) of Makkah. This treaty was violated by the Mushriqs of Makkah. A period of four months was given to the Mushriqs of Makkah to make amends. Otherwise war would be declared against them. Verse 5 of Surah Taubah says:
“But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most merciful.”
[Al-Quran 9:5]
This verse is quoted during a battle.
3. Example of war between America and Vietnam
We know that America was once at war with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the American Army told the American soldiers during the war: “Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them”. Today if I say that the American President said, “Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill them” without giving the context, I will make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the American soldiers during the war.
4. Verse 9:5 quoted to boost morale of Muslims during battle
Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Quran says, “Kill the Mushriqs where ever you find them”, during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the Quran is telling Muslim soldiers is, dont be afraid during battle; wherever you find the enemies kill them.
5. Shourie jumps from verse 5 to verse 7
Arun Shourie is one of the staunchest critics of Islam in India. He quotes the same verse, Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 in his book The World of Fatwahs, on page 572. After quoting verse 5 he jumps to verse 7 of Surah Taubah. Any sensible person will realise that he has skipped verse 6.
6. Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer
Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer to the allegation that Islam promotes violence, brutality and bloodshed. It says:
“If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum,grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure that is because they are men without knowledge.”
[Al-Quran 9:6]
The Quran not only says that a Mushriq seeking asylum during the battle should be granted refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a secure place. In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy soldiers want peace during a battle, dont just let them go free, but also escort them to a place of security?
This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in the Glorious Quran to promote peace in the world
Shan, where did you get your source from regarding the artist dying in a fire??? Is there any news article or any such evidence that you may have???
I am really looking forward hearing from you soon!!!
Allah Hafiz!!!
Shan I would have to doubt your comment about the death of the cartoonist, strangely its not reported anywhere, I would be very careful when reporting such rumors. (I say this especially after I was in receipt of a few chain emails quoting the same fact). Don’t become a part of false reporting
Dear Kooka,
I did not wish to hurt any of your feelings because I would be the last person to do so given my background. I am a Hindu, studied in a Christian convent school, did enginering from a Sikh college and had lots and lots of Muslim friends.
Though I am not very religious I know that Hinduism never teaches to kill anyone on the basis of religion and at the end if there is a judgement day then it would be based upon a person’ s deeds(karma) and not by the GOD he believed in! It doesn’t teach to force anyone to convert to your religion!
My country India has never attacked any country in its illustrious history and we have been a symbol of tolerance. Now Hindu fundamentalist forces have also raised their heads and although they say that it is against hunderds of years of oppression from other religions, I am strictly against them too.
Religion should make lives easier for human beings and make them happier and more rational, not make them fundamentalist, intolerant and blind believers. It is good that you know that Quran so well and I agree that its verses are often misquoted out of context that gives Islam a bad name.
I know that because I have read it and discussed such things with my Muslim friends. However people who do not know the Quran do not know it. But when they hear that the so called dedicated believers of Islam also say the same violent things, the terrorists organisations and even some respected Muslim organisations reiterate the same rigid things what should they think? People from other religions may have a wrong impression of the Quran but if the Muslims who know Islam and follow it, say violent things and follow beliefs that are ‘Talibanistic’ in today’s world and give a wrong impression of Islam as a violent and intolerant belief system, how can you blame the others?
Guys you all are learned people I believe. You have to acknowledge the fact that there are problems. The status of women, tolerance and some rigid beliefs are definitely problems among the Muslims today and the young genaration should fight to change them for the better.
In Hinduism too there is the caste system and many other evils and I have fought against them wherever I could.
Guys we are all human beings first. Lot of blood has been spilled unnecessarily for propogating religions through centuries and the folly is happening even now!
Let us all stand up for ‘Insaniyat’ and make this world peaceful, non violent and a much better place to live in. We all can definitely do it.
No one can degrade any religion or for that matter Hazrat Muhammed, Jesus Christ, Lord Shiva or Guru Nanak by mere cartoons or rhetoric…and I am sure if we live for ‘Insaniyat’ rather than rigidly following a religion all the Godly beings mentioned above would be more than happy!
Have a great life!!
Brother Chetan,Get yr facts right ,dont comment on what u dont have an idea even,We women are quiet happy wearing the hijab,nobody forced us,You say “Still women wear burkas and anyone can divorce their wives by saying talaq three times!!!.Do yr research by going to authentic islamic sites like islamway.com(english)
The western concept of liberation you can see for yourself in the media,In reality women shed their inhibitions for men,In fact they are still not liberated as they want men to admire their shamelessness,they are still enslaved to mens desires,we Muslim women are the liberated ones,we dont have to reveal ourselves to show our true worth.

To Shan,
>>>the artist who drew the pictures of the Prophet Muhammed (P.B.U.H) has died in a fire.
Can you please tell from where you read/listen this news? I tried to find this news using Google but unable to find. Muslims are already famous for weak faith.
please sene me how can i find that message
Dear Shahri bahan,
If you are happy wearing anything one shouldn’t have a problem. But I am against things like the fatwas that are often issued(even in India) that say that women ‘have’ to wear the burqas of face the consequences.
One more thing I would like to tell you…shamelessness is in the mind and soul and not in what ones wears, a lady wearing a burqa might be more shameless than a lady wearing a mini skirt(say)!!
When I say liberalization I would like you to come here and see how many many girls are working in big cities at par with the men. How couples work together and then come home and cook together and do all the household activities together. That in my view is true equality of sex and liberalization. What one wears by choice is not really anyone’s problem.
My only argument is that no one should be forced by anyone to wear something or live life on the terms of others, if you want to say that the Muslim woman is liberated with those abysmal literacy rates and minimal representation in the society then I cannot really say anything. One has to understand that there is a problem to be able to solve it. If one has become so conditioned to live in a Talibanistic society and is happy with it then no one can really help!!
All the bst to you!
Bismillah irrahman irraheem
Brothers and sisters I have gone through few of the comments here and fully agree with “Sabriyah”. This is not the first time we are seeing this kind of hatred towards Muslims…I also want to remind u all that we will be subjected to worst than this in days to come..I strongly recommend Muslims to read the hadiths which talks about the last day signs…think about the abuse we may have to face in times when dajjal will come…This is what already planned by Allah to test us..yes only to test and in all times remedy for any trial is Quran and sunnah..learn from it my brothers, propagate it..
And this is my answer for Mr.J we do not have to beg for anyones mercy…Muslims are definitely intolerant to any thing which contradicts Quran and sayings of our prophet (SAW) !! I repeat which contradicts Quran and sayings of our prophet (SAW)…u will always find Muslims to be violent in such times…I recommend u too to read through history of world and rise and fall of Muslims and also read through what islam says about future of Muslims, thats nothing but rise of Muslims again, repetition of history!!…Islam certainly warns u.. be aware Mr J..it is very easily to hide yourself or say whatever you want particularly on internet but trust me u will be accounted for this..
@chetan ,
i dunt agree with ur view….yea the world is advancing …so is the crime rate….rape , robbery n everthing…suppose two twin sisters r walking along the raod, one in the islamic burqa and one in the western mini skirt…both equally beautiful …. n at the end of the road there’s a hooligan waiting for a catch ..who would he go for…the sister in the hijaab or the one wearing the mini skirt…ofcousre the mini skirt one yea?? …so brother we muslims do not like our sisters , mothers getting molested or raped….Islam first talks about the hijaab for the man and then for the women ..tht is whenever a man sees a women he should immediately lower his gaze..cool aint it …. if all the women wear hijaab where wil lthe Question of rape come ….Islam does not opress any women ..it is for their own good ..and allah knows best!
Just formally found out that the artist who drew the pictures of the Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H) has died in a fire. He was burned alive. The Denmark government is hiding the news from the public.
I believe the news should not be hidden, the public has the right to know detail by detail of what has truly happened. I am sure the Muslim community and everyone else would be very interested to find out.
WELL I have one thing to say if the story is true, it would be the price one must pay for the insult of Allahs Prophet (PBUH).
Great going brother umais!!
If a man rapes a girl then it is not the man’s fault but that of the girl because she was not wearing a burka! The premise of the this argument of yours is based upon a deep rooted inequality of sexes!
No one wants their mother or sister to get raped….for that learn to respect the mothers and sisters of other people too and no one would ever need to wear a burka! Stop treating women as objects of desire!!
Don’t tell me rapes don’t happen in the areas where the ladies wear the burka and again ladies who don’t wear the burka get raped!!
You have said that if a lady wears a burka there is no question of getting raped!
How about the guys wearing burkas too with their eyes tied tightly so that they cannot see the ladies at all…then it is a better was of avoiding rape…cool aint it?
Think rationally friend, if a man has to rape someone he would not mind whether the girl is in a burka or a mini skirt….and in the case mentioned above both the girls would be raped(sorry to use the word so many times, but need to explain you!)
Boss people need to change with changing times…these systems would have been necessary and relevant in an earlier age….not in the century when man has reached the moon.(Some one I am sure would say that man never reached the moon!!)
If a religion and its people don’t adapt themselves with the changing times and continue being fundamentalist they are wiped out like the Taliban were!!
Someone wrote Muslims would rise again….I would be very happy if they do but I am not sure whether you all would be proud if it rises on heaps of dead bodies and pools of blood.
Most rational people don’t need to hide because they are speaking the truth…I am not abusing or degrading anyone here but saying the plain truth.
And I don’t need to hide from God too because I know I am right!!
I live in Denmark and I dont think the news about “the artist who drew the pictures of the PROPHET..” is true.
First of all it was not one artist who drew the pictures but 12 artists who drew one pic each.
So just from the above mentioned mistake, iam allmost sure about that it is a fake news.
The cartoonist was not burned alive! Oh no!!
That means someone lost his chance of reaching ‘jannat’ and getting an ‘untouched’ and ‘paak’ woman!! :-))
On second thoughts since someone revealed that there were 12 cartoonists so at least 12 people can aim to go to the heaven…. :-))
I am scared now, if I continue then it can become 13 very soon!! :-)))))
Mr Rohit,,,,i can prove ,,in Quran it is indicated thatt those who go against our religion they should be treated SEVERELY…Holy Prophet(S.A.W) prayed for those who were against Islam that they would get the right path….
Dear Chaten,
I would also ask you to think rationally and get real.
Cosidering the fact that America is considered to have given liberation to women, as per the statistcs from Department of Justice, in every 3 minutes a woman is repped in Newyork alone. It is mentioned that small sexual abuses are not reported as they are so common over there.
Saudi Arabia cosidered to be a contray who opressed the women not giving them rights have the lowest rape rate in the world. You can confirm by yourself and search the sources or believe my words because I live here.
I am not saying that we muslims are the best in the world but I can say that we have the best and only true religion in the world which not only tell you to do good as other religions but also shows you the way how to achieve that good. Islam is not just a religion but a complete deen (Way of life).
If you think walking in bikini and throwing away cloths, women showing their bodies in the name of art, culture and fasion shows is women liberation then we muslims better be orthodox as we respect our women and their dignity and dont want them to be a public property.
NEXT time when you quote something against Islam get your references just by looking what many muslims are doing wrong dont blame the religion. The religion of Islam is based on the teaching of Holy Quran and Hadith (Way of the prophet Mohammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be Upon Him)) and you’ll find many sources on the net for reading these, so read yourself and I challenge you if you find anything in the Holy Quran that is against humanity I’ll accept your religion.
Regards,
Hey Jay Kay wait a minute.
I read the whole thread and it has never been siad that women wearing bikinis is liberation? Read the thread properly! Someone only said that what one wears is one’s own wish and no man or religion should dictate it!
Who are you to say “we don’t want our women…….” etc.? How can you decide what the women in your religion should do?
Should Sania Mirza wear a burka and play tennis? Or extending your theory further should Kiran Shaw Mazumdar wear a burka to office? Or Kalpana Chawla to space?
You quoted Saudi Arabia for low rape rates? Well don’t know how authentic they are, you could have done better by providing some link. However I would tell you something else. In India more than 80% of criminal cases are registered against the Muslims! Now how do u justify that?
Now if there are a lot of cars in a city there is bound to be some accidents. If you keep your ladies inside homes then how can anyone even see them? That is not because of wearing a hijaab or whatever u call it. This is like killing oneself for the fear of death! How much representation do Muslims women have in your society?
Does that mean no ladies should go out of her home study, work and become something in life? In any case they are humiliated by family members inside the house as many cases have come forward in the recent times.

Then tell me what u all have to say about this!!
Rohit…
I’ve been reading the references u’ve pasted in ur comment.. u can atleast try n use some reliable references rather than reading up anything that comes up first on google and strongly agreeing with it just because it puts down islam…
the author of the website was previously a muslim and had converted.. some of the references he made to the quran (which is supposed to be the word of god, allowing the hadiths) jus dont make sense.. since the source he abstracted them from is not valid.. and this site where the references were taken from does state the ‘Introduction to Multiple Translations of the Qur’an ‘ should be read first..
which is…………..
‘Warning!
Please keep in mind that ANY translation of the Qur’an will most definitely contain errors (e.g. see our online list of corrections). We have provided three translations here to emphasize this point. In its natural language (Arabic), the Qur’an is the direct Word of Allah (God) to mankind through the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Any translation of the Qur’an no longer retains that ‘official’ and perfect status, however it can be tremendously helpful to beginning students wanting to learn more about Islam.
We would strongly encourage those want to learn about Islam to purchase a hardcopy of the Qur’an but with the following conditions:
get one with commentary (tafseer)
make sure the tafseer is scholarly (e.g. references to reasons behind a verse, references to hadith and sunnah, etc.)
Unfortunately, the three translations presented here do NOT meet these simple conditions. To the best of our knowledge, an excellent English translation and commentary of the Qur’an is Maududi’s recently published work “The Meaning of the Qur’an”. This work took more than forty years to complete, and was published beginning in the mid to late 1980’s. We have included Maududi’s introduction to each chapter of the Qur’an, but the complete commentary is not online (yet!). Maududi’s work is superior to the three works presented here, HOWEVER please note that we are not in any way decrying the tremendous efforts of Ali, Pickthal, or Shakir. May Allah reward them all. ‘
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/qmtintro.html
Now as it says the quran has not been correctly translated here.. then how can u base a case on this? how is that suppose to make sense.. if the main sourse is unreliable then the person to go by it and make judgements according to it must be quite stupid!
Ashma,
I must say that this is the way to discuss things with people without getting angry when something is said that may not endorse your beliefs. Others may have beliefs of their own and one cannot say they all wrong and I am right! I think many people in your religion(and hardliners in other religions too) can learn this from you!
Kudos to you!
Having said that and coming back to the topic I also read the links Rohit pasted and I agree maybe Ali and co was too harsh. However I do have questions regarding the same and even 10% of what is written there is true, it is a cause of concern. Hope you would address these with equal dignity.
The basis of the religion seems to have been built on violence. Hazrat Muhammed seems to have been a dynamic and charismatic leader of a (large) group of devout followers. But because of his indefatigable clout and dominance it looks like no one had the courage to go against him and blindly follow whatever he said…
If one reads history then at some point many parts of the world including Afganistan, China and Mongolia etc. were occupied by peace loving people who worshipped Idols(the so called Pagans or Kafirs) and they were brutally annihilated to spread Islam. Nadir Shah and Chengiz Khan were prime contributors to this! Many other forms of beliefs have been wiped out. India too bore the brunt of Muslims rulers like Ghori, Ghaznavi, Mughals etc and later the Portuguese and British(who brought Christianity with them). It is another matter that even after centuries of agression we have maintained our identity.
It looks like the major foundation and following of Islam has been built upon violence and forced conversions. The holy crusades of the Christians was against unwarranted and violent propogation of Islam. Christianity has also led of lots of bloodshed but would not come close to Islam.
These are all historical facts and you can confirm them. The facts about multiple Allahs, Jehovah and their origination are also verifiable historic facts.
Then could you please tell me sister that how can a religion that has blood and death all over its base and the propogator of which though brave and powerful was involved in genocides and many other unethical activities(murder, sleeping with slaves, marrying wife of son!) be the true path to God?
its a unwanted thing.there r many peoples in the world for the cartoonist to play but mohammed is not for that he is the messanger of allah.allah will ask for it.its necessary to burn him alive i protest against this in the name of ndf,kerala,www.ndfindia.com
I think it is an offence to all Muslims and Islam which was brought to us by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). We’re no talking about someones brother or sister or parents but the Prophet of Islam. Its an insult. im shocked and disgusted with the Danish newspaper and specially the cartoonist.
Azif bhai,
U mean Allah would want the cartoonist to be burned alive!???
Did he come and tell u to do so?
we all love HAZRAT MOHAMMAD SAW.AND NO ONE SHOULD DARE TO SPEAT NEGATIVE ABOUT HIM
could we please have more PBUH cartoons?
They are so funny! I like the one where he has camel dung as a turbin!lol!

Dear Readers,
I am rather late to write here but its better late then never. I would like to add my comment here so that it could be alleviation for the grievance of Muslims and condemnation for the disbelievers.
It is obvious and explicit fact that disbelievers hate the Islam since early decades. They have been engaged in conspiracies against Islam in every period. If today they speak that Muslim are bad, that is acceptable to some extent but when they will try to smear smudge on the Islam, I swear it will be the same as if they are strangling their own life. I swear, it will be renaissance of Islam and impetus for unity of Muslims. If they try to demolish Islam, I swear it will tread down the country boundaries lying between Muslims and lead them to focus on a single point of view that is to survive and save Islam.
Now, its time for the disbelievers to save their own necks because doom is coming ahead in no distant future. It will be approaching toward them in a twinkling of an eye. Its not a human, not a machine but nature itself in rage. Very stormy, very windy.
“SKY IS POURING THE TEARS OF FEAR
EARTH IS TREMBLING TO BEAR
WIND IS BLOWING TO MAKE THING SHIVER
NEEDS RENAISSANCE OF ISLAM I SWEAR.
And then disbelievers shall know how ALLAH protects his persons against the bait of disbelievers.
Thanks

I thought about not uploading the images, but the point is not to hide the fact but to make poeple aware that this type of attitude is not well appreciated by Muslims.
I just want to sorry for that.
why not somebody can do teh cartoon of mohamed. indian muslims hurts hindus by making naked pictures of mother india and godess saraswathi.
they are like your allah for us.
mohamed doesn’t ear pig and he hates dog means all the other doesn’t have to follow
try to learn tolernace. they are worhshipping an idol called moon good the allah
if you are coming to another country for better living and feed your kids why can’t you have tolerance of stupid person doing supid work like
non of the hndus killed muslims for mocking their gods.
if allah is truthful and it success any ridicules. is allah just human protected god
