Islam, The West And Its Double Standard by Rajman45(m): 6:45am On Jan 17, 2015 |
The attacks on Charlie Hebdo last week has generated many reactions from all concerned. But if one critically look at the event, one will see the exposed hypocrite of the West and deliberate double standard that is aimed at continuing their well- planned attack on Muslims across the world. France’s (and the West’s) claim that free expression is a ‘fundamental principle’ is a myth, an opiate of the masses, explicitly invoked for anti-Semitic purposes in the years leading up to the holocaust, and has recently been used to whip up hatred of immigrants, ethnic minorities and Muslims. Like everywhere else in the ‘Free World’, in France, free expression is for some but not others. Charlie Hebdo has facilitated the growth of a form of politicized anti- Muslim sentiment that bears a disturbing resemblance to the politicized anti-Semitism that emerged as a mass movement in France in the 1890s in its use of crude and vulgar caricatures that purvey a sinister and stereotyped image of Muslims. A French court injunction banned a Jesus based clothing advert mimicking Da Vinci’s Last Supper. The display was ruled “a gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion on people’s innermost beliefs”, by the French judge. In 2005, ‘Aides Haute- Garonne’ organized an informative evening about the prevention of the HIV-AIDS. The prospectus contained a head-and-shoulders image of a woman wearing a nun’s bonnet and two pink condoms. Because the prospectus insulted a group because of its religion, a court convicted Aides Haute Garonne. In 1994, Le Quotidien de Paris published the article L’obscurité de l’erreur by journalist, sociologist, and historian Paul Giniewski. The article criticises the Pope and states that Catholic doctrine abetted the conception and the realisation of Auschwitz. A court upheld proceedings on the ground that the article was an insult to a group because of its religion and convicted the newspaper. ‘Charlie Hebdo Magazine’ itself censored, apologised and then fired longtime cartoonist Siné for a caricature insulting the son of former president Nicholas Sarkozy and his wife Jessica Sebaoun-Darty, while staunchly standing on their ‘right’ to repeatedly troll Muslims, minorities and immigrants e.g. by showing a caricature of a stereotypical Arab whom they imply to be the Prophet Muḥammad (sall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa Sallam) naked and bending over – which tells you something about the brand of satire they practice and that they would rather be aiming downward than upward. Dieudonné M’Bala, a French comedian and satirist – was convicted and fined in France for describing Holocaust remembrance as “memorial pornography”. The ‘Quennele’ hand sign has been described as anti-establishment and anti-Zionist by French youth and famous football players (e.g Anelka). It stoked serious controversy in France since first being used by an anti-establishment comedian Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala in 2005. M’Bala has been barred from many theatres and convicted many times for his ‘freedom of speech. As part of “internal security” enactments passed in 2003, it is an offense to insult the national flag or anthem, with a penalty of a maximum 9,000 euro or up to six months’ imprisonment. Restrictions on “offending the dignity of the Republic”, on the other hand, include “insulting” anyone who serves the public. French Rap Star Facing Prison for Insulting the French State, insulting Napoleon and Charles de Gaulle. It is illegal to insult the French state, and it seems historical characters like Napoleon and Charles De Gaulle are sacred. But it is Ok to lampoon the prophet of Islam, Muḥammad (salla lāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam), the leading light and ideal of divine justice for 1.5 billion people is open to criticism? Nicolas Sarkozy, then-Interior Minister and former President of the Republic until 2012, ordered the firing of the director of Paris Match — because he had published photos of Cécilia Sarkozy (his wife) with another man in New York. In 2006, rapper ‘Joestarr’ had his rap song against President Sarkozy censored. The following films have been censored in France for provoking violence: L’Essayeuse (1976) Romance (1999) Le Mur (2011). With all these, it surprises the way France and its Western allies have allowed the continuous blasphemous acts of that magazine all in the name of bogus "freedom of speech. We say no to freedom to kill and at the same time, no to freedom to insult. Double standard won't solve the problems of the world.

In my own opinion, France don't see the Muslims and the immigrants as their citizen. Matter of fact, most of the Muslims in France are immigrants. The law of the land do not protect them. (I night be wrong) Whatever they write or do, It's in their country. Instead of going into violence and further giving credence to people's conception about Islam, the best thing is to leave their country for them. when your host starts becoming hostile, one should know it's time to go. After all, the Islamic states we have wouldn't even give water to a dying Christian not to talk of asylum. I have a friend on Facebook who always shares the post from a particular Islamic site and the post does nothing but to ridicule Christ, Christians and their beliieves. So you see my dear, you really can't stop people from making fun of you but killing as as form of revenge to an insult is inhuman. 8 Likes |

@Op, France is a Christian country, so I think they've been very lenient with their laws, Islamic countries would kill anybody that goes against their religion. If muslims have decided to take the guy*can't recall his name now* to court instead of resulting to violence, they might just have won. 9 Likes |

I just read that Muslims in the middle east are protesting the cartoon image of Mohammed printed by Charlie Hedbo. when innocent lives are being taken by those who claim to be extremist, those idiots are protesting over a cartoon, seeing that anyone with a bias prior to these recent attacks would see it and say look the majority of them care more about a fairy tale than real and present human lives. And this is why I personally think Islam is messed up. It is a fundamental issue. The disciples asked Jesus how they would know a false prophet? he gave a simple answer, "you shall know them by their FRUITS." 1 Like |

@ OP, I think you should advise all your lazy Islamist who are migrating to the west (or have migrated to the west) to go back to their Islamic hell holes. The same muslims who are fleeing their countries, in millions, to europe wants to dictate how the host countries should feel about Islam and 'profet' mohammed. Thats ridiculous! If muslims cant stand their prophet being ridiculed, drawn in a cartoon, offended, they should remain in muslim countries where it is a capital offense of insult islam or mohammed. Muslims are the highest hypocrites known to mankind, they will be demanding for respect, demanding to build mosques (from where they daily cursed the christian and Jews and instigate violence) in europe and america but will not allow churches built in arab countries. Thats nonsense! If muslims are not happy that their pedophilee profet is insulted in europe, they should leave europe and move back to morroco, somalia, pakistan, saudi arabia, sudan, yemen, qatar, libya where they are religiosly killing each others daily. 6 Likes 1 Share |
