The Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman (SADR) and The Anna Catherina Islamic Complex (ACIC) said they join other Muslim organisations in Guyana and throughout the world in severely condemning the producing and publishing of the anti-Islamic film in which the Islam’s great prophet (and one of civilisation’s greatest leader) and the religious beliefs of all Muslims are insulted. “We also severely condemn the brutal murder of the United States Ambassador to Libya and three of the embassy employees as well as the other senseless loss of human lives in protests against the anti-Islamic film. In order for peace to reign throughout the world, brutality and hatred must be swiftly condemned and punished,” a release from the organizations said.
It added that certainly freedom of thought and expression is one of the fundamental rights recognised in the international world and play a valuable dynamic role in the awareness of community and ensuring of democratic values. But this human right as well as other human rights and freedoms have bounds and limits, and no one has the right to abuse this right and insult religious, national and cultural values of other people under the pretext of “freedom of expression”.
“The Beloved Prophet of Islam can never by defended by oppression and misguidance. No Muslim allows himself to be overcome by emotion and to respond with actions to which Islam prohibits. In the lifetime of the Prophet, there were those who cursed and insulted him openly. But the Prophet didn’t punish their neighbours, companions, or even his family members for what they did. Nor did he punish the representatives of their tribes. He did not oppress and was not unjust to these people who cursed him, abused him, mocked him, and insulted him during his lifetime. Where do you find that the Prophet and his Companions went to another town and protested, or that they murdered the innocent, or destroyed or burnt their properties to the ground because of insulting of the Beloved Prophet of Islam? Punishing others for the crimes and offenses of another is not justice! The producers of this movie should be made responsible for their actions,” the release noted.
“Those non-Muslims who live and work in the Muslim countries have been given an assurance of safety and protection, so by attacking them is an act of treachery and oppression. If a person is given safety and protection by the authorities of a Muslim land through diplomatic agreements or even by giving him a visa to enter that land – that person has an assurance of safety and protection from every other person in that country, including Muslims. It is wrong for any Muslim to harm him,” the organisations charged
The organisations charged that the anti-Islamic film is offensive, appalling, and insulting to Muslims and to civilized society. It is provocation to the Muslim community to say the least. Similarly, the senseless violence, attacks and killings carried out by Muslims under the banner of Islam and love for the Prophet is also an atrocity against all civilized people. Muslims should know that Islamic extremist groups bear some responsibility for the uproar taking place now and for the collision of the world cultures. The organisations call for an immediate end to the madness surrounding the production of this wicked movie and express deep regret at the senseless loss of lives.
