INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS

INNOCENCE OF MUSLIMS- ''We are non-violent with those who are non-violent with us''- Malcolm X. Religious tolerance is civilized Peace towards true faith- Prof. Cephas Omenyo. He who would live in peace and at ease mustn't say all that he knows nor judge all he sees- Benjamin Frankin. Time immemorial there has been this feud settling between the Blackman and the Whiteman about supremacy. What makes this feud more advancing in this modern day living is the step Muslims all over the world have taken, fighting a good cause. According to Muslims, once you are against a good cause, they are also against you. In olden day America during the fights for civil rights for African-Americans, the Muslim community also had a more vibrant so-called radical wing, Nation of Islam. Then in 1959 a televised documentary, the hate that hate produced. It was alleged that the leaders (Nation of Islam) were preaching about hate. That was when their charismatic spokesperson (Malcolm X) made it clear that they were preaching what was moral apart from what was taught by the whites, the little black Sambo, children's literature written by Helen Bannerman, which was intended to corrupt a child's mind, According to the leaders of Nation of Islam the little black Sambo was a ridicule to the blackman, and was intended to create inferiority complex for blacks towards the white, in other words white superiority. Although the documentary was highly criticised by many including Dr. King who was himself leading a civil right movement, they believed they were fighting a good cause. Indeed, history helps me to imagine that, these men were men of great conviction towards liberalization in their own right. At a point in time the leader of Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammed would say ''black people are divine and white people are devils..Allah is a black man'' to show their total disregard for the white. Louis X, later would be known as Louis Farrakhan would make a satirical trial comment as though he was sitting in a ruling that 'I charge the whiteman with being the greatest liar on earth. I charge the whiteman with being the greatest drunkard on earth. I charge the whiteman...the greatest gambler...greatest murderer...greatest peace breaker...greatest robber...greatest deceiver...greatest trouble maker on earth. So therefore, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you, bring back a verdict of guilty as charged!''. The world has witnessed current happenings where buildings where pulled down, companies were burnt down to ashes for using photos and cartoons of prophet Muhammad. Past relevations have shown that the prophet of Islam is not to be fooled with or disreputed in any form. Recent incidents have shown that the whiteman is indeed the greatest enemy in the Islamic world. Especially the U.S.A. and Britain. Presently, the world is facing a new chaotic transition and if care is not taken we'll witness something far more endangering. The innocence of Muslims previously known as innocence of Bin Laden and/or the life of Muhammad, is a movie making the airwaves very threatening. This movie was allegedly produced by a Coptic christian, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula and premiered in hollywood. It is alleged to have been initially uploaded to media site Youtube by an Egyptian-American blogger and Coptic christian Morris Sadek on September 8. 2012. And few moments after the inception of the except, four (U.S ambassorder to Libya, Chris Steven and three others) deaths were realized. Indeed, almost all the organisations and broadcasting houses that have had a view of the movie strongly condemned the movie, and commented clearly that the movie was intended to create unrest amongst the Muslim community. And that those involved knew the consequences of what they were doing. Reuters ''the except portrays Muhammad as a fool, philanderer, and a religious fake'', NBC News ''it depicts Muhammad as a womanizer, a homosexual and a child abuser'', BBC ''Muhammad fellowers are portrayed as savage killers hungry for wealth and bent on killing children and women'', New York Daily News ''obscenely inept variety project that is far beneath any reasonable standard of movie making'', Coptic Orthodox christian '' an inflammatory movie about the prophet of Islam'', World Council of churches '' an insult to the heart of the Muslim faith and to all people of faith''. My view ''The movie is a total ridicule to the Islamic founder. However, it portrays the real lifestyle of some Muslims about their high level of religious intolerance, and their contradictions towards peace as they claim to stand for''. In fact, what makes the whole issue more complicated is that the producer was himself under false pretences and at the same time deceived those involved. Cindy Lee Garcia (life now critically endangered), the actress who happened to play the role of mother of Muhammad's bride to be claims they (the cast and the crew involved) were made to believe differently the intended purpose of the movie. She said ''we were deceived about the purpose and context of the film''. And that the intended title ''dessert warrior'' which was to portray life in Egypt 2000 years ago was what they had previously been informed. This action of the producer is a crime of public deceit, abetment of crime, conspiracy to endanger lives, crime of fear and tension and public stunt. The whole twist of the movie clearly shows that the makers involved had a particular notion for this kind of movie. I expect all true Americans to come out and condemn this movie, as they had already begun. Freedom of speech is vital and crucial not only in and to America (s) but almost every sovereign state. However, a right which is intended to cause rage, chaos and unrest when exercised, shouldn't be exercised at all. We preach about democracy yet we fail to respect the views of our neighbours. To me this is something that we should all learn from because the message of peace is incomplete if the story of justice is untold. Indeed, I did not expect our Muslim folks to go that extent--killing innocent people. In fact this step is too radical and harsh I must condemn. Because two wrongs often said, do not make a right. It only ends up worsening matters. Our Muslim folks could have resorted to a more pleasant and peaceful approach if they really stand for peace (Salam). At the time of this article more than thirty (30) countries forming part of more than five (5) continents had already resorted to a highly volatile anti-Western demonstration. Burning American, Britain, France and Israeli flags amid chanting, ''hell to America'' . I call on the president of America to come out publicly with an official apology calling for calm. And also should meet with the leaders of the Islamic world before it is too late. Before more innocent blood are spilled (my only great concern). The most threatening aspect is that the Muslim world is demanding for an official apology and the arrest of those involved in the making of the movie. Meanwhile, those involved especially Nakoula Basseley Nakoula have gone into hiding, nowhere to be found, only the Americans know, some people alleged. The question I ask myself is, why has he gone into hiding? Why wont he come out openly and officially to declare his apology to the Islamic World-- to help restore world peace--rather than holding on to his stance-- thinking what he did was perfect? Even if what he did was perfect, the imperfect aspect was the involvement of the Holy Prophet. This reminds me of Benjamin Franklin ''he who would live in peace and at ease mustn't say all that he knows nor judge all he sees''. The President of America needs to come out with an apology because from the look of things, the demonstrations are not going to end now. And it is as if the world has called for trouble which it did not fan for. The American leaders need to act smart putting aside all forms of constitutionalism and supremacy lest it becomes too late to notice that, constitutional correctness sometimes is benevolent crisis. Beware!!!
