The printing of cartoons ridiculing the Final Prophet of
Allah, under the name of Freedom of Expression, is another attack upon the
Muslim Nation (Ummah) adding to the list of deep wounds continuously being
inflicted upon this honourable nation.
These repeated attacks from the disbelieving nations are coming in the
forms of full-scale military onslaught, as in Iraq and other places, to giving
support to oppressive occupations such as the state of Israel and a host of
political schemes, whether they be the direct creation and propping up of agent
governments or using their tools such as the UN against us.
Yet time and time again the Muslims respond to the
ever-increasing attacks, by the same emotional, ill-thought out and reactionary
measures such as:
-
Demonstrations
-
Boycotts of certain goods
-
Declarations of Condemnations
-
Lobbying the governments
-
Donations of money to Charity Organisations
Instead of reflecting upon how the Muslim Nation
should respond as a Nation which has great lands, resources, man power and
above all the belief in Allah, we find that this is put aside and we are
presented with short term patch up solutions, resulting in diverting our
resources and attention away from the fundamental cause of our weakness as a
Nation
Demonstrations and Boycotting goods have been going
on for so long e.g. With regards to the plight of the Muslims in Palestine, yet
they have never amounted to anything except the venting of anger and the false
sense of achievement, the same can be seen clearly in recent times with
Anti-War Protests and Iraq.
In Britain, Salman Rushdie, this apostate was
allowed to publish and sell his book insulting the Prophet and the Mothers of
the Believers and his ‘right’ to do so was defended again under the idea of
‘Freedom of Expression’. This pillar of
belief of the Capitalist Ideology is what pushed the media outlets throughout
Europe to reprint the blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammed (SAW).
It is important to realise that the Muslim nation is
described as such because it’s people hold the creed of Islam, which is
fundamentally different to the other nations.
The Capitalist have their own concepts of Freedom, Democracy, Secularism
and Human Rights, and they will naturally act according to their beliefs and
will defend and propagate them. Is it
not these very beliefs, which justify Fornication, Alcohol, Gambling, Gay
Marriages, Guantanamo Bay etc!
The biggest danger to the Muslims is when they start
adopting, acting and spreading the non-Islamic principles of the Capitalist, often
out of ignorance of Islamic political principles, or in order not to lose the
comforts of the world and sometimes in reaction to traps laid by the
disbelievers, such as the recent calls for Freedom of Speech and Human Rights
when laws of silencing Muslims, under the guise of Fighting Terror, were
announced by British government.
So let us rightly look to Muhammed (saw) and those
that followed him to see how they responded to the hostility of the Quraysh and
the menace of the Jewish tribes towards the Muslim Nation. We do not find boycotts, demonstrations or
charity organisations but an organised nation with an economic and political
infrastructure ready to respond militarily if need be - so that the
disbelievers would think twice before they dared attack the Muslims. This exemplary response to attacks continued
in our history even up until the late Uthmani Khalifs who warned France and
Britain to stop a theatrical play insulting our Prophet, otherwise they would find
the Muslim Armies at their doorsteps.
However, today we are missing such a response because we
are divided into many nation states, being ruled by secular puppet
governments. Unless our efforts are
aimed at resuming the Islamic way of life, having a sincere Islamic leadership
(Imam/Khalifah), we will not deal effectively to the attacks we face and other
vital issues. Each one of us must
support this cause for the political change in our lands, and advise each other
of not diverting our energies.
