Love
the Anti-Muslims
By Omar Luther King
Delhi, India
While the Scandinavian newspaper editors and the
cartoonists dared to hurt the religious sentiments
of the Muslims, Danish and Norwegian governments
did not dare arrest or punish them because that
would have amounted to curbing freedom of the
press.
In the name of the freedom of expression, the
media often use insults, mockery and ridicule
as weapons against their enemies. It is a pity
that the Muslims have fallen prey to such mischief
mongers. Like the Hindus and Christians, when
will the Muslims learn to keep their cool and
put up with such insults, mockery and ridicule?
Christianity demands that we love equally both
our neighbours as well as our enemies. Muslims
should be ready and willing to love the evildoers
(in the present case, those who made caricatures
of Muhammad) lest their hatred for the enemies
of Islam destroys them and makes them the endangered
religious community of the world.
