International Muslim protest at Rushdie knighthood in Britain mid 2007...
International Muslim protests at Rushdie knighthood award...
As some British Muslims protested at the awarding of writer Salmam Rushdie’s knighthood in mid 2007, reports came through about concerted mass strikes and demonstrations in India, Iran and Pakistan; others distanced themselves from the effigy burning and reprisals. There was about 20 demonstrations at Regents Park mosque in London after prayers, with men with covered faces waving placards, one of which allegedly read “God save the Queen”, and shouting slogans. Mosque staff distanced themselves from the demonstration. A woman from the director- general’s office stating ” We do not sanction this protest or the views they are expressing.” Why is it many Muslims cover their faces when protesting? Haven’t they the courage of their convictions, or is they just lack old fashioned intestinal fortitude? When you read about these protests and death - threats against somebody like Salman Rushdie, it makes it very difficult for those outside of Islam to accept the claims from Muslims that it is a 'peaceful' religion. From efffigy burning you can progress to book burning - from there it is an easy step to total dictatorship. Those are the steps that Nazi Germany took in the 1930's. Does Islam really want to travel down that track? |
