Re: Amir cheema --may you ALLAH bless you
1) He didnt die for Allah.
2) Taking up a knife to an editor for publishing cartoons is terrorism. Supporting the person who did it IS supporting terrorism.
Allah has asked to fight to protect ourselves. If we die while doing that we are said to have died fighting for Allah. Now I dont see how a kid who commited suicide in prison after terrorising an editor fits into this noble deed. Worse yet, its not just one guy, its like all of this forum appreciates what he did and would do it if they got a chance. That is what is actually disturbing. Dont all of you think it would have been better if Amir Cheema never threatened the editor? That all german muslims could have led a better and more respected life? Perhaps, if this cartoon hadnt been received as it was by the muslim world, it wouldnt have been spread like this and would just die down and be forgotten as anyother saturday morning cartoon. All Muslims are responsible for the reprinting of the cartoons. Now either all of us cant take out knives and start threating each other, or we can really admit that what we are doing is not what Allah wants from us. The Prophet (PBUH) was right to worry about his future Ummah as he did, it totally forgot his teachings. All this cartoon scandal wouldve peacefully died down if the muslim world did the educated thing to do, sincerely tell the wet it wont take any of that becaue we dont like it. Instead of that we had death threats and violent campaigns...which made the west reprint them out of anger (in which they were wrong). So is this guy who indirectly promotes the cartoons, Amir Cheema, our hero??
I think as muslims we have a responsibilty to get other people to join Islam so that everyone can be saved from Hell. We can either do it by restoring muslim image through showing them that muslims are sensible, educated people, or we can chant death threats and then praise ourselves for having killed another kaffir. Im opting for option A... I can only hope others will follow...
