If the Prophet Can be Insulted, then the Holocaust can be Questioned (Al Watan,
Libya)
"If, as it claims, the United States believes in freedom to
the extent that it gives its citizens the right to burn the American flag if
they like … is it also possible to allow the production of films questioning
the validity of the alleged Holocaust of the Jews? And will American company
Google leave video clips exposing the lies of Jews about the Holocaust, without
deleting them from YouTube?"
Police preventing demonstrators from reaching the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta react to the tear gas dispensed by one of their colleagues. Protests over a film that insults the Prophet Mohammad have now spread to a number of other countries.
Why
shouldn't we rise up and protest a film that denigrates our Holy Prophet? Don't countries
oftentimes protest and revolt for the slightest insult aimed at symbols or slogans
that pertain to them, let alone those that insult all of humanity? It is true
that I am against attacks on embassies and diplomats, because we offered them
security andagreed to their presence through
diplomatic exchanges and international treaties and agreements. But one can
never ignore the reaction of angry people who at a moment's notice may go up
against governments
and governing regimes. It is not surprising, then, that the demonstrations began
in Egypt and Libya, then to Yemen, before spreading to the rest of the countries,
since little time has passed since our revolutions, and their peoples have
liberated themselves from the grip of oppression, which had prevented them from
even demonstrating in support of our religion and Holy Prophet.
If
, as it claims, the United States believes in freedom to the extent that it
gives its citizens the right to burn the American flag if they like … is it also
possible to allow the production of films questioning the validity of the alleged
Holocaust of the Jews? And will American company Google leave video clips exposing
the lies of Jews about the Holocaust, without deleting them from YouTube, or
will it only take measures it prevent it from being viewed in Israel alone, and
leave it for the rest of humanity to see?
We
must produce films and publish books in all languages to spread the genuine values
of the Islamic faith and its teachings on toleration to reach those who are
ignorant about them around the world. We must spread the true image of the
Islamic faith, which is falsified by media in all the Western countries with
the supported of Zionists.

Leaving
aside any assumptions, the question uppermost in my mind is about the complete
absence, so far, of any statement or announcement by those who classify themselves
as members of the political elite.
According
to Martin Luther King, "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those
who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict." I believe we are living
through a time of great moral trial which requires serious, ceaseless work in
order to preserve the prestige of the Islamic religion and the Holy Prophet in
all the parts of the world. Unfortunately, even the denunciations and
condemnations we expected from Muslim Arab leaders have been very late in
coming, or not made at all!
