Jewish Terrorists Attacked the Church in Jerusalem Living among Muslims - a positive experience	What Did I Do to Boycott Me?         Name: A questioner from Europe 7/2/2006 (14:13) GMT Reply Are we ready as Muslims to answer this question ,if it was asked by a Danish citizen ? I'm sure it will not be difficult to explain how insulting the prophets – not only our prophet – is unacceptable and considered a red line that can't be ignored. The problem with the Danish cartoons show how there is a real gap not only between the Muslim world and the West ,but between two different ways of thinking. As Muslims we used to put what is sacred on the top and in the west ,the law is above all. Not only that, but the West do not believe that there is anything called taboo and there is nothing that they cannot speak of or about. Maybe we need to be clear on the concept of sacredness , what is sacred and how we as Muslims treat these 'sacred' topics. I'd like to ask again, can we bridge the gap between what is legal and what is sacred? I have the feeling that the Europeans do not understand the religious discourse and that's why they did not get our message The mass boycott by Muslim countries showed also to what extent there is a need to redefine the word "responsibility " according to the nature of every society ; that we should only punish those who are responsible for a certain mistake, and not to practice unnecessary 'group punishment'. The problem with boycotts is that it is too general in nature, instead of dealing with the people responsible for the disturbance only, we are putting everyone into the same basket. Let's think together why the Europeans are unable to understand our messages ? And do you think it is fair to punish all the society when someone of that society does a mistake? How can we say NO in an understandable way? Salam <Next |  Previous>  [Last |  First |  Messages List]     All Replies to What Did I Do to Boycott Me?
