Javed,
As long as you are not swayed by the pol...AA<br />Javed,<br />As long as you are not swayed by the politics of looking good to the “self appointed guardians” and speak the truth as you feel, I appreciate that even if we differ and you know that has been etched in my thinking.<br /><br />Killing any one is wrong, without exception and I would condemn any one rejoicing Ahmedi Nejad mishaps if it were to happen as you mentioned.<br /><br />Here are two incidents that I have written about:<br /><br />About a year ago, Ahmedinejad was not introduced properly in Columbia College and was ridiculed when he went to speak. I condemned that act of the Dean for mistreating some one who was speaking as President of a nation, even with hostility. You know I have no love for Ahmedinejad as he is yet to transcend from an aggravator to a peace maker. <br /><br />I have been a vocal opponent of Arial Sharon, but when Pat Robertson said Sharon’s sickness is due to disobedience to God by giving Gaza to Palestinians, I condemned that act of Robertson. <br /><br />The more we react to incitement, the more they will tempt us. Don’t you agree that the abuses hurled at Prophet have increased because of the wild reactions of a few Muslims? Prophet changed the society by his act of kindness and the few in Pakistan are doing the opposite and I hope the majority of the Pakistanis and Muslims will speak out against. If Asia Bibi hurled insults at the prophet, the right thing to do is to show her kindness, patience and perhaps a prayer for her well being that is what Prophet would have done. Any other action does not sit with the ideal of Islam; Peace.<br /><br />Look what has happened by not following the example of the prophet?<br /><br />Mike Ghouse<br />www.MikeGhouse.netMike Ghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647894600183489442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633407081164636317.post-48654593555152997352011-01-12T17:23:52.269-08:002011-01-12T17:23:52.269-08:00Mike
ASAK
My love and total commitment to Islam ...Mike<br /><br />ASAK<br /><br />My love and total commitment to Islam and the humanity for which Islam is meant and my sense of justice demands that I must say whatever I feel without fear. On the one hand, there is Mr Shamim Siddiqui who is extremely fond of me but I tend to disagree with him on the position of the act of Mumtaz Qadri on the grounds I have already explained. On the other hand, I have to totally oppose your outright defence of Bibi who did commit an unpardonable crime of insulting the Prophet SAW. I am angry with you because you have in the past even condemned those who simply questioned Holocaust on historical grounds. If President of Iran, Ahmadinjejad is killed by a Jew just for his views on Holocaust, I am sure the majority of America, Europe and Israel will be rejoicing on the streets; and you will in most probability be among them; or at least you would not be as vocal in the condemnation of the killer as in the condemnation of Qadri. This is despie the fact that Holocaust is no Prophet or no Scripture and is merely an event of history. Your support for Bibi is totally unjustified on the ground of “mercy” that you are talking about. Islam tells us that mercy cannot be used as a weapon to defend those who kill others, directly or indirectly, or can cause widespread chaos. Bibi has not even apologized for whatever she did and did not even say that it was an act of momentary loss of temjper. She deserves no sympathy. Christians need to be told that Muslims have never insulted Jesus (Peace be upon him) and will never tolerate his insult by anyone. Similarly insult to Muhammad SAW and Quran cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. <br /><br /> <br /><br />My difference of opinion with Shamim Sb is not regarding Bibi but regarding assassination of Taseer and eulogisation of Qadri. If Qadri had killed Bibi, I would have had no doubts that what he did was to be the ultimate fate of Bibi. His only crime would then have been that he took the law in his own hands. But I can’t understande how Bibi and Taseer can be judged on the same grounds. I do not know about the personaliy of Taseer but I tend to think that he was a Muslim, even if not a good Muslim, and he might not be harbouring any ill feelings towards the Prophet SAW. Just on the ground of his stand on the Law of Blasphemy, he does not become a convict of blasphemy himself, and therefore does not deserve the punishment of a proven case of blasphemy. If he is tried in a Shariah court, I can’t see whow he can be sentenced o death. And if his crime does not demand death sentence how can Qadri be admired for killing him? This is another matter that when his case comes for hearing, the judge should keep in mind his feelings and the circumstances in which he acted the way he acted.Dr. Javed Jamilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633407081164636317.post-43019184149100572142011-01-12T17:23:20.033-08:002011-01-12T17:23:20.033-08:00Dear Br Mike, ASA
