Request and protest against publishing of pictures of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) by wikipedia
ON Feb 14, when people in the West, in particular, were celebrating the day reserved for expressing love for others – Valentine’s Day – the Muslims of the world received painful news. No less than 17 Danish newspapers had (re)printed a sacrilegious cartoon of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the day before.
Perhaps the perpetrators’ level of civilization goes no further than that, or they have demonstrated an inability to overcome their obsession about insulting other people’s religious figures and sentiments in the name of freedom of expression. Like the religious extremists, they, too, would perfectly fit Winston Churchill’s definition of a fanatic: “A fanatic is a person who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.” The newspapers say they have done this in response to the foiled plot by three Muslims of murdering the cartoonist who had drawn one of the offensive cartoons in September 2005 in order to take a stand against self-censorship.
Terrorism appears to be of two kinds. A visible one, where people are attacked physically, which makes the victims’ body bleed. This is often being done by militants – Muslim and nonMuslim – who claim to be fighting for their freedom, as in Afghanistan, Iraq, many states of India and Sri Lanka, or to protect their religion from hostile forces.
The other is the invisible one, where some people are subjected to emotional jibes, which makes their hearts bleed, as in the case of the media that claims to be protecting its freedom of expression. These latter ones also claim to be most civilised and enlightened.
It is a moot point as to which form of terrorism is more harmful: the physical one that targets a few hundred or at the most a few thousand, or the psychological one that attacks over one billion
In Islam picture of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other Humans are not allowed. But Wikipedia editors are showing illustrations with face illustrated and face is veiled or white washed. But still they are offensive to Muslims. I request all brothers and sisters to sign this petitions so we can tell Wikipedia to respect the religion and remove the illustrations.
A petiotion has been raise protest against coward act of wikipedia and instruct to remove the Illustrations of Muhammad(S.A.W) from Wikipedia.
