Caricatures of Muhammad & Freedom Of Speech

Caricatures of Muhammad & Freedom Of Speech

The double standard of western freedom of speech. Shirley Hebdo knows that publishing caricatures of Muhammad (peace be upon him) will hurt Muslims. But even then they have published caricatures of Muhammad. As a result, Muslims have been hurt, their hearts are bleeding, Muslims are feeling humiliated; This is the issue that many are burning on. Boycott French Products.

Nationally, caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are being shown on the projector under police guard. The Koran was burned under police guard in Scandinavia. In the United States, meanwhile, people have been jailed for 15 years for burning gay-lesbian’s flags. A father was jailed in Britain for not allowing his son to go to gay and lesbian classes. The contrast must be understood. If there is still a problem in understanding the issues of ‘secularism‘, ‘freedom of speech‘, ‘freedom of expression‘, then there is nothing more to say. How arrogant they are, and how unscrupulous we are, declares a state of contempt. No organization, no person, no paper. A whole state. The president himself has said that it will continue. Although the enmity has been going on under the guise of secularism for so long, now it is a direct war. Thanks to France for not wearing a mask. This mask has been worn in all Muslim lands, this is the face behind the mask, which France has shown.

They say that publishing caricatures of Muhammad in this way is part of freedom of speech. Muslims should accept it. But do they really believe in freedom of expression? Is freedom of speech always practiced for everyone? Or is Western freedom of speech a selective freedom of speech? Let’s see some facts.

Example of Western Freedom Of Speech

1. In 2010, France passed a law. Destroying, insulting or desecrating the French national flag is a criminal offense under this law. But Shirley Hebdo is a French magazine and a part of the country’s culture of satire.

2. Every year on November 11, various events are organized in the Commonwealth countries to commemorate the soldiers killed in the First World War. One of the highlights of the event is the plastic poppy flower. After the war ended, numerous poppy flowers bloomed on the battlefields of World War I. Poppy flowers have been used as a symbol to commemorate the dead in war ever since. Plastic poppy flowers are sold on this special day to provide financial and emotional support to members of the military or former members. On this day in 2011, a man in England burned two plastic poppy flowers. That is why the police take him in court. The court found the person guilty as usual.

3. Top gear is a popular show in England with cars. In 2016, an episode of Top Gear was shot by Cenotaph. This cenotaph in London is a memorial built to commemorate British soldiers killed in World War I and its aftermath. The top gear team faced a lot of public criticism for filming near Cenotaph. Chris Evans, a presenter in Top Gear, has to publicly apologize for calming the angry crowd.

4. In Iowa, USA, a man was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2019. Burning a homosexual flag hung from the church… that was the man’s crime.

5. An important structure in London is the Greenfell Tower. This 24 storey building was established in 1984. A fire at the Greenfell Tower in June 2016 caused many casualties. The shadow of mourning descended across the UK. In 2016, 6 people were arrested in the UK. Their crime was to make a dummy building like Greenfell Tower out of cardboard and set it on fire for prank.

6. London’s Cenotaph is a monument built to commemorate British soldiers killed in World War I and its aftermath. In 2010, a 21-year-old student took part in a protest. At one point during the protest, he climbed onto the cenotaph. As a result, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

7. May 25, 2020 In the United States, a black man named George Floyd was strangled to death by US police. Three British youths uploaded videos online mocking the incident. Police arrested them for the crime.

8. In 2019, the New York Times published a cartoon about Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The cartoon shows Donald Trump holding a dog’s neck rope after the hat that the Jews wear on their heads. Putting Benjamin Netanyahu’s face on the dog’s head. And hanging the Jewish symbol “David Star” around his neck. The publication of this cartoon received widespread criticism from the New York Times. At one point they are forced to publicly apologize.

9. In 2013, a British shopkeeper joked about Nelson Mandela, a black South African leader. The police interrogated him for 6 hours for this crime. The police also snatched the laptop of the shopkeeper.

10. In 2020, a law was passed in Germany. According to the law, burning a European Union flag or any other flag carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison.

11. In 2009, a cartoonist working on Shirley Hebdo drew a caricature of the son of then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy. That caricature shows Sarkozy’s son converting to Judaism for money. In this incident the brawl started. Shirley Hebdo, who made the satirical cartoon Akano her own history, asked the cartoonist to apologize. If the cartoonist does not agree, he will be fired.

12. A comedian made a comment on Facebook about the futility of Western freedom of speech. France arrested the actor for the crime.

What will the great Western civilization explain by justifying one ugly attack after another on Islam as freedom of speech, freedom of expression, etc.?

It is nice to hear the so-called Western rhetoric on freedom of speech or individual freedom, but at the end of the day, it is nothing more than a tool of oppression. Showing caricatures of Muhammad (peace be upon him) proved that again.
