Re: Freedom of speech & Western hypocrisy.
As far as the mother comment, you said what if they SAY something insulting, you did not say anything about DOING… Doing means PHYSICAL harm. That is different. Then of course yuu must defend. As far as verbal abuse goes, that again depends on the situation. You cant simply attack people, that is stupidity. Try to understand this simple point. YOU MUST respond in accordance to the situation. Your situation dictates your response. So if the person who is VERBALLY attacking your mother is mentally disabled, or you know they have a weapon and you do not, you dont simply attack. Understanding this point reqires some degree of maturity which i dont think you have yet. You sound like a teenager, who hasnt gone very far in the world.
Defense of the prophet can be through many different means. Sometimes, you defend the prophet by letting barking dogs bark. In responding to this situation, Muslims have actually harmed the reputation of the prophet and harmed image of Islam, not helped it. This is very simple common sense things. Not every situations requires hitting people over the head. Just look to your beloved prophet (saw) for guidance, why listen to me. When he could have fought and argued, he choose to remain silent and not utter a word. If in his wisdom he understood that not every situation requires a response, why do you not understand that silence in this case would have been better?
So you finally admit you would defend your mother if she was attacked in digusting manner like the prophet(saw) so why apply double standards when people are angry against the attacks on muhammad(saw) ???
The muslim world cannot accept freedom to insult this is very simple concept to understand even to someone with immaturity like yourself.
