What do the Danes want from us?

It didn't pass one year on the insult of the Danish cartoons that provoked the feelings of one billion Muslim around the globe than the People's right wing party in Denmark began its campaign insulting Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" in a disgusting way , once by video and once by Cartoon!!

Already the Danish government which learned a tough lesson from few months is trying to avoid a new crisis between it and the Islamic world. The Danish PM made a statement that the Danish Party acts were private , the government nor the people are responsible for , as it was published in the Al-Ahram daily newspaper once last week ,by the way I suspect that this is just a false news published to calm people down.

I don't know what they aim from Provoking the Muslim community in Denmark ,forcing them either to leave the country or leave their religions !!

The Muslim community in Denmark is not formed only from immigrants who work in every respectable jobs like doctors,engineers and professors , but also from Muslim Danes ,where would they go ??

I don't know what that Party would gain from insulting our believes and our honorable Prophet "PBUH" ,really what they want to prove , the only thing in my mind is that those radical people wanted to have international fame , who knew that such party exists in Denmark before the infamous video and cartoons !!??

Let's face the fact , The People in Islamic world are still drugged by Ramadan , it is fact everyone knows that in Ramadan Muslims are not that active , but after 10 days insh Allah , the news will transfer from the Internet to the newspapers to the public and we will have to face another sequel of the Danish Experience.

First what we can do ??

  1. Boycott again the Danish goods and services , but this time we must go to the extreme , forget Lurepack butter go to Marsak , do you know that Marsak invests millions in the Arab world ?? imagine how they will lose if there is public campaign against them , you see our governments will do nothing , but those Multinational companies care for their public image in the countries they operate , and I notice that in the first Danish Experience ,everyone ignored or forgot that Marsak is Danish company
  2. Send e-mails to everyone to international press , to the Danes to their newspapers , don't be silent , those skin head guys must be taught to be polite when it comes to other's believes
  3. Peaceful Protests , Please make Peaceful Protest , every jerk speaks about the Muslims nowadays the first thing he would say "Look they burn embassies because of some cartoons"
  4. The Most important thing we can do If we love Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" to follow his legacy of diplomacy,love ,mercy and respect toward others , I don't know why some young men take the Prophet Mohamed the fighter and forget about Prophet Mohamed the wise man of state

I believe that would n't dare to do what they did, if the Pope of the Vatican did attack Islam and its prophet "PBUH" as he did last month , also they would n't dare to do if we didn't sudden forget what Pope Benedict had said in Germany and got busy in the holy month of Ramadan, we should n't have to be quiet like this

Anyway I believe as it did happen in the last Danish Experience , People will wake up after 10 days

Really I feel so sad and angry for those Muslims in Denmark

  1. Again, nice post Z! And as usual allow me to share some of my thoughts concerning this Danish situation by telling a story.

    Last summer, I was participating in a workshop about Education for Peace, Human Rights and Justice organized by Utrecht University in The Netherlands, I was also attending some other workshops about Economics for sure :) but i was very interested in learning more about the first steps toward creating more tolerant societies in the most tolerant country in the world. It was like United Colors of Beneton! People from all over the world and religions and it was a great experience. After that I visited Denmark and Sweden to catch up with some old friends (locals) and I also it was a good opportunity to touch the problem up close and personal.

    Then, surely, I had the opportunity to talk with many Europeans about Islam and i tried to understand where is the problem, is it their right wing problem? or it's our righ wing problem?

    One answer I got from one of the human rights activists was very simple and very sad, she told me : Let's say you're a newspaper, and you have two different news you need to choose one to publish tomorow morning, one is talking about a car ran over an old lady over the highway and the other is a man helped an old lady to cross the highway, which one would you choose...you can only publish one only!

    I agree with you that there are many succesful and respectable muslims in Europe and elsewhere and they have great contributions to there societies, but allow me to give some examples of the opposite that I've actually seen through my visit to Europe last summer:

    1- The Netherlands: The most open minded country in the world and they have over than 1 million muslims there (mostly turkish and moroccan). Some of them created mobs and gangs and they go to the jewish quarter in Amsterdam and threaten the jews over there and put marks on their temples. A turkish father killed his daughter because she's dating a dutch guy (honor crimes as we say). I went to a Friday prayer in at a moroccan mosque over there and I had to listen to one of the most violent speeches I've ever listened to in my entire life (kill the jews, fight the non-believers....etc).

    2-Sweden: I didn't go up to Stockholm because my friend is from the south so we stayed in a city called Landskrona and its surroundings (Malmo, Helsinborg...etc) and over their they have some residential blocks for the Albanians who left their country during the Serbian war. As above, they don't integrat, no "devil" schools, gangs, crimes of honor...etc.

    The interesting part is that during my visit there was a trial on TV for one Egyptian immigrant and his wife who've been acused with social security fraud. He's married with 2 kids but he has no job, so the Swedish governmant gave them monthly pension AND a house (they knew later he was working illegally as a taxi driver), the Swedish law saying that if a divorce happened they will give the wife a new house and a seperate pension for the kids while the husband keeping the old house and a pension too, so they faked a (civil divorce) in the court (not in the mosque) and they got the new house and rented out the old one + the extra pension they get as if they were divorced, later the husband said that the court divorce is not vaild coz we're muslims and we don't follow the laws of a KOFFAR country. what do you think?

    well, the examples r too many but I hope you can get what I'm trying to say.

    About Denmark, the people r insulting Islam simply because they don't know!! They haven't seen or learnt any good news about Islam recently, they r scared and we "the moderate muslims" have to do something about that, set a good example and be LOUD'n'Clear. Our religion is being hijacked by extremists and careless people who gave a wrong image about our culture.

    DOn't think that any government in Europe can shut down a newspaper or imprison a writer or a journalist who said something about Islam (or any other religion), over there everyone has the right to say what they feel or think without fear! If we reall want to defend our religion and culture, we have to work together as muslims first and try to transform the negative ideas that the west has about us, people to people not government to government, for example, during my latest trip to Europe, i'm sure i was a reason for some people to change their stereotype about Islam and muslims, they just need someone to HONESTLY give them the right answers in a peaceful way.

    I know it was a long comment but I couldn't help it!

    Final Word: "Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change." Confucius

    Cheers

  2. @I don't deny that there are some bad examples in the Muslim minorities, and that's why I use the word most because there are always bad sides of the story

    But it is not logic to accuse a whole religion with one billion believer population because some misbehaved
    so why there isn't the same stereotyping to the Christian faith despite the existing crimes done by Christians for example like Italian Mafia
    I don't mean anything but it is ridiclous when Eurpeans think in that term
    One thing I can't deny is the hate of some clerics ,I heard it and I read it ,it can be stopped by the big Islamic organization if they want to
    Yes Westerns don't know about the Islam but sometimes I feel they don't want to know about
    Of course the main problem there is the media
    Media plus Orientalism plus misconceptation plus many other factors
