all 4 love
isnt it crazy what the world is coming too? especially in the middle east. The two very beliefs that has rooted the faith of millions clash head to head in an unsightly event of violence and utter hate. Islam and the Freedom of speech.
(pictures from BBC)
Muslims all around the world burn flags and protest, no RIOT, because they are offended by the Dansih publication of a cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb in his head. yes i totally understand where the Muslims are coming from. their sentiments are absolutely justified. Any depiction, much less a satirical cartoon, of their prophet is no less then paramount blasphamy.
but throwing molotov cocktails at the Dansih and EU ambassies? risking the lives of those who were not responsible and cannot do anything about the situation?
This is absolutely absurd. Does not any sense of logic tell u that this form of aggresion will only spurr more hatred toward ur people and, YES, ur religoin and ur prophet? And of those thousands protesting, how many of them have actually seen that cartoon for themselves?
The government's aggrevation of the situation show utter lack of basic diplomacy and total incompetence in international relations, which brings into their question their ability to deal with govern.
Reading the "have ur say" section of the BBC, i realized that the most recommended comment by the readers were the ones supporting freedom of speech, and rebuking the Muslims for their actions. It really quite superficial if u ask me.
if the reckelssness and mis-use of this freedom of speech leads to insinuating violence and hatred, u r no better then those violent protesters! Insensitivity to such issues show delibarate ignorance to the faith of others.
The most troubling thing that most of the readers mentioned, was the fact that Jesus was numerously ridiculed in cartoons all over the globe, and the Christians never objected like the muslims are. Does that mean that the ridicule of Jesus is right? Sure, u may indirectly be praising the Christians for tolerance,
but are u trying to right a wrong with something that many still consider hurtful?
I think both governments must step in in the name of international apeasement and diplomacy to quell this conflict, and not stubbornly sit behind their office desk, hopeing and insisting that their belief take precedence over the other's. A mutual understanding can be reached.
"With freedom of speech come the responsibility not to deliberately offend." Paul Nash, London.
all for love, a father gave
for only love can make a way.
all for love the heavens cried
for love was crucified.
oh how many times have i broken ur heart
oh how many times have u heard me pray?
draw near to me.
everything i need is u,
my beginning my forever.
everything i need is u.
let me sing all for love.
i will join the angel song.
ever holy is the lord,
king of glory king of all.
All for love, a saviour prayed,
"abba father, have ur way.
Though they know not what they do,
let the Cross draw men to you."
TO YOU!
