Bosnian Mufti Urges Muslims To Make Europe Feel 'Ashamed' | ||
2006-02-21 | ||
Bosnia's leading Muslim cleric, Mustafa Ceric, has urged Muslims worldwide to exercise more tolerance and patience and seize the opportunity to make Europe feel "ashamed". The Grand Mufti of Bosnia-Herzegovina, speaking in the Qatari capital Doha, advised against violent protests outside western diplomatic missions in Muslim countries to protest the Danish cartoons. "I expect Muslims to be of higher moral standards. We should not have turned violent and burnt embassies," he told the Dubai daily Gulf News.
In Islam, the Mufti has the authority to issue religious fatwa (edicts). "We should take this opportunity to make Europe feel ashamed and we have to benefit from that. And now, some Muslims have to go to Europe to apologise for what they did for their [European] embassies," Ceric told Gulf News on the sidelines of a forum on US-Muslim relations. The Danish government has announced it wouldn't apologise for something it didn't do, while the Danish newspaper, Jyllands Posten, that was the first to publish the cartoons, has apologised. But later, some European newspapers published the cartoons on the grounds of exercising their freedom of expression. "These cartoons have not decreased our respect for our Prophet, but it didn't increase freedoms in Europe," Ceric said.

#6 The deaths and violence should be a damn slap upside the head on the validity of the concerns the cartoons expressed on the behalf of us observers in the west. I can't think of anything that has published in MSM as an editorial cartoon that has been more spot on than the (hush now) turban (ya know what i mean) We are seeing the epitomy of the concerns raised by the cartoons and the complete ignorance of it's targets to recognize - even when in full blaze. How can you not equate the two? And, ta boot, they demand laws to prohibit their very actions - but only if infidels do it. More mirrors. fast. More mirrors. This is insane. |
