Positive outcome from stupid film

Excerpt from Reuters report:

"More outrage against an anti-Islam film-- but this demonstration in Sao Paulo, Brazil was peaceful, with Christian and Jewish supporters marching along side Muslims.
Some 500 people gathered near the city's Shiite mosque-- holding posters and chanting in Arabic.
Organizers say people from all religions are against the film."
"Unfortunately, this film "Innocence of Muslims", which they produced to incite a dispute between Muslims and Christians, is unacceptable because the Muslims and the Christians are brothers, we come from the same source."
Also a bounty of $100,000 is up for the director of the film.

Very true..religions must unite against this non sense film. At least there is good news about this issue after so many killings.

Elizabeth Jones, assistant of Hilary Clinton, has declared in Tunisia yesterday, that the USA might stop its financial aids to countries where the US emabassies have been attacked because of the hate film.

In my opinion, the logical reply to these threats is, for the governments of these countries, to close all US embassies in their countries, deport all US diplomats from their countries, and to close all their embassies in the USA.

Diplomatic relations should not be renewed until the US apologizes about the movie, take all measures to delet it from all media, punish the producers of the movie, and regret such words & threats that came from this Elizabeth.

"...Insanity: but the Islamic culture makes very insulting remarks against followers of other religions, and even the Quran it self doesn't seem to have a high regard for today's religious scripts of these religions.

bottom line is give respect to get respect...."

Quran according to muslims is the word of Allah and it is mentioned in Quran that the ONLY religion acceptable in the eyes of Allah is Islam.

Truly, the religion with Allâh is Islâm. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, then surely, Allâh is Swift in calling to account. (Aali Imran 3:19)

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Aali Imran 3:85)

So Quran does not show respect to people who knowingly conceal the truth even though true knowledge has reached them. However Quran is the word of Allah and this disrespect is from him;

However Quran does not give license to muslims to insult OR abuse other religions or people from other faith; rather it mentions the following:

And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allâh, lest they insult Allâh wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair­seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do. (Al-An'am 6:108)

Rather it exhorts the muslims to be polite and gracious:

"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious." Noble Qur'ân 16:125

Hence we need to understand the context and refer to the background of the verse to understand and interpret Quran correctly.

When in the Quran, Allah commands certain acts, like fighting against certain groups of disbelievers of Islam, these verses were specifically for the disbelievers at the time of the Prophet, who were killing and oppressing Muslims and turning them out of their own homes, simply because they refused to worship other God's besides Allah, and give up their faith. It's not to mean all disbelievers of Islam in general and certainly not non Muslims who do us no harm.Likewise some verses in the Quran were abrogated with the coming of others.

And for anyone to know this it's essential to study the Quran with it's authentic explanation, and not simply try to interpret it on your own.

By FathimaH• 2 Oct 2012 14:24
FathimaH

We Muslims believe the Quran is the speech of God. Thus the words in the Quran are not from us but from God alone. Yes God does not like that anyone be worshiped besides Him. But He dose not command us mere mortals to speak with disrespect about other's God's. Rather He says: "And insult not those whom they (disbelievers) worship besides Allah, lest they insult Allah wrongfully without knowledge.."(6:108)

Any Muslim who is thus heard or seen mocking another's faith, and insulting another's beliefs/Gods are then disobeying Allah's orders.

For those who claim that Islam and/or Muslims are not condemning this demonic act then know that the Prophet Himself said " "Whoever kills a person (non Muslim)who is under an agreement or treaty (with the Muslims), he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though it's fragrance can be found from the distance of 40 years away." And "Allaah has forbidden for him paradise"

Note today all non Muslims living in Muslim lands, as well as those non Muslims living in Non Muslim governed countries who are not at war with any Muslim lands, are all considered under treaties with Muslims. So unless it's a case where they are given a capital punishment by the state for crimes like murder and rape, killing a Muslim or non Muslim is forbidden..period!

Not just that,considering that the late ambassador and the other two men killed with him were given protection by the Muslim leaders of the land,the following saying of the Prophet also applies.:

And the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

"The assurance of protection of the Muslims is one, so whoever betrays the assurance of protection and safety of another Muslim, then upon him is the curse of Allaah, and (the curse) of the Angels, and (the curse) of all the people."

So no one can ever claim that what those individuals did(the heartless killing of the US ambassador) was right or just.

As one student of Islamic knowledge in Kuwait wrote,in an excellent article condemning these attacks and killings carried out by the protesters, "the prophet cannot be defended by oppression and misguidance"

Whilst what the filmmaker and his cronies did was instigating and disgusting to say the least, their actions, as Non Muslims, would not have saddened the Prophet as much the evil and mayhem the so called Muslims did would! Ultimately if nothing else one thing positive did come out of this film, it showed some of us Muslims how important gaining knowledge is, so when faced with trials we would know how to react and not just give into our emotions and commit acts of sin and oppression.

"...It’s funny how everyone is up in arms against those who made the movie instead of showing disgust at the mobs who attack and killed the American ambassador? Some folks need to learn how to deal with free speech..."

The killing of american ambassador is detestable and in no way permissible by islam and all muslims should condemn it.

However frankly speaking when the US forces kill hundreds of innocents in afghanistan and iraq and call it as Collateral damage they should also be prepared to face some collateral damage on their side.

Secondly, for muslims, respect of Islam and our prophet SAWS are much more important than anything and everything in this world - and it can't be exchanged for anything (including free speech).

Lastly as many ql'ers have already stated - when law can be made against denial of holocaust then why can't law be made for blasphemy ???

Many of us know that old joke about the 4 passengers in a train cabin: a Chinese young lady, an Israeli young man, a German old woman and an American man. The train goes into a tunnel, it is pitch dark, there was a sound of a kiss, then a slap on the face, inside the cabin.

Once the train was out of the tunnel, the four passengers started analyzing the source of the kiss and the slap…

The old German woman said to herself: what a decent girl! That Israeli young man was impolite and she stopped him with a slap

The young Chinese lady thought: what a stupid American! He kisses the old lady and he forgets about me!

The American thought: what a lucky bastard! He gets to kiss while I get the slap!

The Israeli is smiling to himself: they will never know…I kissed the back of my hand and gave the American a slap he will never forget!

This hate movie against Islam originates from the same concept of the train story

The radical Judaism was the impolite party to Islam, It was planning to give America a slap it will never forget, and this is exactly what it has achieved.

They produced a low quality movie, intending to boil the Islamic world against America and to create a new and continuous “Septemberic” panic that would work as a reminder to the Americans that the Muslims are the permanent threat to the world. They were also aiming to warn America that supporting the “Arab Spring” would result in producing radical Islamic governments which adopts chaos, attacks on embassies and terrorizing their subjects.

They were also determined to set an example of the above, thru “killing the American ambassador” in Libya, while the other countries that are on the train, are still condemning the action, and the reaction, in the same magnitude and direction.

No logical person can hold the American government responsible for the planning and production of this movie. The elections are very near, and September memory always sheds fear and panic, therefore this government has no interest in making Muslim enemies, whether in America or in the “friendly” countries, at this stage.

Thus, there is “someone” who chooses the timing and the matter in such a great accuracy. And since the radical Judaism is the only one left in this cabin of a dark tunnel, therefore it is surely the party who was impolite and who slapped and continue to slap in the dark absence of logic.

While watching the angry crowds attacking the American embassies around the world, I realized that we are very far away from understanding what is being planned for us in those hidden caves across the Atlantic.

Those powers who William Guy Carr warned about in his book “Stones On A Chessboard”, are still very much active and they are running the show in full control.

If the west (USA or any other western country) can ban any media that expose the truth about the making of the "holocaust", then the west can ban any media that insult the sacred figures of other nations.

If the west can throw any thinker, philosopher, author or researcher in jail just because they have concluded studies about the real figures of the so called "holocaust", then the west can throw in jail any person who'd dare to make a movie insulting the sacred figures of other nations.

You need to get your info right, mimi, before you make such false statements on the web. it seems that you are living in Mars.

Or you have been fooled by the western/US systems where they made you believe that they have democracy and freedom of speech. (Remember what happened to the Communists of Holywood?)

OK forget about the "holocaust" and the communists.

Try no to take a public supporting stand of Al-Qaeda & Osama, and try to make a movie in Holywood to hail and glorify Osama. Or, even cheaper, try walking in the streets with a big image of Osama printed on the front of your T-shirt, then come and tell me about the freedom of speech.

I wonder: if you were wearing a T-shirt with a big image of Osama printed on it, and if you end up being attacked and beaten by the people in the street, are these the same people who attcked the US embassador in Libya?

You claim that "people like me who have hate to USA"

Wow! Very "clever" of you! What a "wonderful" IQ level you have!

Question: why don't "people like me" have any "hate" to the Czech republic?

Ever wondered why people around the world hate America?

Ever decided one day to blame the cause and not the result? The action and not the reaction?

My advice to you: when your IQ level reaches 80, sell!

nomerci,

Regarding "my obsession" with the "holocause"...hmmm

they have no respect to God, prophets, saints...etc

they trash the church, the holy books, the religious & social rules and regulations....etc

Abo....

Slander of Prophet of Islam should be condemned just as desecrated churches are and the denial of Holocaust is.

Obama also warned that in 2012 “when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete!

“Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism … the Muslims claiming to be Muslims, attack each other all the time, Sunni against Shiite's.

He has planned everything in advance......so he knew about, planned and approved the making of this video and it's subsequent release on Youtube.

People seem to be protesting against god's plan! How strange! I don't see god 'smiting anyone because he has taken offence......so why are you?

There is no such thing as "democracy" & "freedom of speech" in America, the west, or in any other country.

What is happening now is a clear and simple wave of hatred and insult against Islam, that is organized by the American government.

----------------------------------------

You are so wrong about you comments here! I am American, and lived over 30 years in U.S.A.

Freedom of speech is very much alive there, and this film was made because of that right, the government had nothing to do with it. Have you ever lived in USA???

If you have, you would see for yourself how many Nazi's are there, and they utilize this right to freedom of speech!!! They get protected by the police, army, etc when they hold their racist marches, etc in front of the public. We who do not believe in their views, are held back on the streets with barriers from trying to bash them, as they march and spread their hate!

Freedom of speech is very much alive there. Your opinion is wrong. It is impossible for the US government to block everything that gets up-loaded every sec to YouTube. It is not china, it is a country that lives by a constitution,which includes freedom of speech. that maybe should be revised, but for now this freedom of speech is alive, and used by unfortunately some people who have bad intentions towards others who don't believe in the same things..

For you Abo, I suggest you take you opinions and get real!!! There are over 200 million Muslims in USA. You and the other closed minded ppl need to stop blaming or holding the USA government responsible for what they had nothing to do with. It is a small group of people that did this film abusing the freedom of speech, that should be blamed, not me, or anyone else that had nothing to do with it simply because we are American!

Conspiracies are made by closed-minded people.

What is happening now is a clear and simple wave of hatred and insult against Islam, that is organized by the American government.....

No one on earth can publish a book or a movie to prove to the public that the "holocaust" is a big lie that was created by the Zionists.

No one can publish any media to insult or make fun of the alleged "victims of the holocaust" or the "gas chambers"

By blisteringbarnacles2007• 25 Sep 2012 14:25

Why youtube is not showing nudity? Although it is there in movies? Because it is against the "sensibilities". Youtube gives nude clips adult Rating and more adult clips get R-Rating/Xrating whatever and so the clips get censored in Qatar. Porn as such is not hosted on Youtube at all.

Similarly in this case also it is against the "sensibilities". So all they have to do is give it an R rating So that the clip will be blocked by Qatar and similar GCC countries. If they cant give the movie an R then it is obvious they are also indirectly supporting the maker of the movie.

brit also has a point as the actors have filed a case against the director...

LP...lol the argument is not whether there is God or not!

Governments have told Google to blur out sensitive Military areas on Google Maps and they have complied after some hesitation.

QBS and QTV can stay, they never show any crimes in Qatar!

Al Jazeera should also be banned because they show the crimes of the Syrian government every single day!

YouTube should not be banned. However, there is some justification for removing the video, since according to many participants (actors) , it was made under false pretences.

BECAUSE THEY made the movie, ha, ha, ha!

Brit, of course they do, but I question their right to do so. Imagine a guy who has three PHds, who in a government would know what this guy was allowed to see and what not? Didn't he prove that he is a full member of the society by getting three degrees? Didn't he prove that he is able to make decisions? Or does it count nothing? Then everything is wrong. Possibly that's the case anyway.

Its all about markets... if Youtube gets banned in all the Muslim countries they would loose substantial revenue... Youtube wouldnt like that...

And who are the governments to tell the people what to see or not? Are they gods? Knowing everything better? You'd make me laugh (if it wasn't so sad).

the government can't tell youtube shyt. neither the The Bill of Rights nor the American constitutions allows it.

It’s funny how everyone is up in arms against those who made the movie instead of showing disgust at the mobs who attack and killed the American ambassador? Some folks need to learn how to deal with free speech

I think you tube is standing by its policy of freedom of speech? Ridiculous... Freedom always comes with responsibility and sensibility.

youtube have not found it inappropriate is just unbelievable."

No, it's not. Double standards is normal in the west.

You need to fight them with their own weapons & use the same tactics they use.

What I cant understand is that the Movie is still there on Youtube!

1. The movie is made with the sole intention of insulting Muslims and creating riots and manslaughter. Which could lead to weakning of the Government control on its population and also could lead to toppling the governments.

2. I cannot believe the movie is still there on Youtube. I mean dont they have a "Flag/inappropriate" option. They do have this link and to think youtube have not found it inappropriate is just unbelievable.

Muslims loves and respects the prophet at high degree. This is well known by everyone. By knowing this fact very well, why do they make such films. It is so simple their intention is to create a panic in society.

Israel and muslims have issues for a long time.. that is a given fact but at least due to that stupid film they are somehow united and we should all have a positive view on this not to reignite some fire.

this rage is not only in Islam

Try making an insulting movie about the Buddhists, or Sikhs or Hindus, and you will see the consequences.

On the other hand, try making an insulting movie about the "concentration camps", and they will hunt you all over until you are dead.

Now we have a minister putting 100,000 $ on the head of the producer of the film (a "railway minister"?) (do railways need ministers?)
