In strongest terms, I condemn the brutal killings of unarmed mediamen in France two days ago by the Islamic terrorists in the name of Islam, as given to understand. I don’t know if Islam allows this type of brutal retaliatory acts, neither I know the brand of Islam these terrorist are propagating. Islam according to me is a great religion, the religion of love, peace, forgiveness and compassion but by committing acts of terrorism the Muslim terrorists give a very harsh and bad image of Islam which very much affects the greatness of Islam. It is here that Christianity scored over Islam by propagating in its true Christian principle the doctrine of love, peace, compassion and forgiveness in non-retaliatory manner.
One of the main aspects of Islam is freedom to express oneself boldly but this freedom of expression was boldly damaged but not killed by the Muslim terrorists in France, the country that gave to the world the slogans of Equality – Liberty – Fraternity. France is a great country that gave birth to the great freedom loving genius Voltaire who once said, “I fully disagree with what you say but I will do everything within my capacity to allow you to express yourself freely, if necessary even by facing death I will allow you this freedom of expression though I fully disagree with what you express”.
By this harsh act of terrorism if these Muslim terrorists think they can kill the freedom of expression in France then they are sadly mistaken. On the contrary they encouraged free expression more forcefully not only in France but all over the globe including in me.
While this act of terrorism committed in France, the silence of Saudi King the custodian of Two Hoy Mosques is intriguing. So also of many other Muslim Kings and Sheikhs who were responsible in supporting this type of terrorism. They are partly responsible for promoting terrorists in this world by supporting this brutal ideology.
I also condemn the previllege of freedom taken by the journalists and Cartoonists to mock Islam or any other religion. No religion is bad and no religion tells to do bad things but it is the religious leaders and propagators who are guilty of giving distorted image of their religions to fulfill their personal anger. It is these people who should be mocked.
