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. (Comrade Abdul Lateef Usman

A problem with christain is that...u only look at the order side of a story. A true muslim will never incourage fightin of any such. They are so many incident that our prophet was insulted, laugh at and many more. He never fought back and neither did his companion. A true muslim never participated in violent. Islam is peace.

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.

@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.

You see the problem with you and many muslims.You start by saying there should be fairness and justice for muslims and then you get to the point of insults and ridicule.Show me a scripture in the bible that encourages homosexuality!
The greatest problem with the image of Islam is the hypocritical nature of many muslims.Now show me how your statement above has helped to have a better image of muslims.

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."

@ 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.

Stop saying what you don't know, Muslims practice homosexuality too, The only difference is that they conceal their's, Is that not hypocrisy. Go to Northern Nigeria, You'll be shocked. As far as Nigeria is concerned, Muslims practice homosexuality more.
