Cartoon controversy
The world has been shaken by a little storm in a cup of tea that brewed in Denmark some months ago. A cartoon depicting the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (pbuh), as published by a Danish newspaper offended millions of Muslims across the globe.
They claimed it was freedom of speech. Apparently the freedom of speech & action applies only when western interests are at stake. We Muslims are being demonised by certain western zealots. Let's come to the point, a few misguided men are engaged in subversive activities in the name of Islam. But we all have to know that they are misinterpreting Islam as a religion. We must remember that Islam is a religion of peace. Religion obviously is compassion, not a lethal weapon.
If we have done anything wrong, anyone can criticise us. But no one has the right to hurt our feelings.
