When freedom equals reviles!!
I received on my blog a comment of an American blogger. The comment was; I am curious. What's the punishment in your religion to name a pig after your greatest Prophet.
It was an invitation for me to check his post My Turn - Pig Muhammad
First of all let us have some words about 'Freedom of expression'. Ways of expression are many; by words, by criticizing, by arguing, by reviling, by directing accusations, by acts, etc. I believe the absolute freedom (of any thing) is a destruction, there must be limits of every freedom. The absolute freedom which I mean here is the freedom to do any thing without considering any thing including rights of others. It's said that; 'Your freedom ends where freedom of others begins'. So what I'm talking about here is that freedom is not assaulting others by acts or words, is not hurting others in their emotions, is not insulting beliefs of others, is not reviling. Freedom is not throwing a stone on the glass of the window, but instead freedom is facing the other side. Freedom of expression is; 'I think you're bad, and here you're my evidences'. Freedom is; 'There is some thing wrong, let's argue about it.'. Freedom of expression is not; 'You're ****. Good bye!!' There is a big difference between both of these ways. The second will lead into hatred and crash. The first will lead into understanding, filling the gaps, and reaching the truth. No doubt that understanding will lead to love and cooperation. And no doubt that there is huge difference between both ways of 'expression'. We never can make them equal.
After clarifying how I see freedom of expression. It may be important to tell in few words the story of the 'teddy bear'.
A British teacher called Julian Jebons works in a Sudanese school, she asked a student to bring a teddy bear, when they voted to the name of the bear the 23 student voted to the name; 'Muhammad' which is the name of the most famous student in the class (and sure is the name of the Prophet Muhammad), and she agreed. She has been accused of insulting Islamic religion by Sudanese authorities.
The question which must be asked here is; What is the fault this teacher did?!!
With a simple analyze of what happened we can reach following points; 1)the kids were the ones who choose the name, 2)the name of Muhammad is the name of the famous student, 3)those kids are Muslims and are supposed to love the prophet of Islam Muhammad, in addition 4)this teacher is a British non-Muslim. Following these points we can reach one fact; Mrs.Jebons did no thing wrong.
As being British and non-Muslim she is supposed not to know that it's not accepted in Islamic culture to name things by names of human. On the other hand; the kids may have choose the name of their friend not the prophet, and even if they choose the name of the prophet this means that they love him not want to insult him, they must be only guided that even if we love some thing we mustn't use names of human specifically when they are prophets to name things. I think that she must be released at once.
A last word about freedom of speech. If we restricted freedom of speech in reviles and insulting then there is some wrong in our way of thinking. If we expressed our freedom of speech by reviles, then we are far away from civilization. Again I say it; freedom of speech leads into understanding and love not to crash and hatred. So I'm inviting the American guy to be free enough and share me a calm discussion, where he will show me the reasons why he hates my prophet Muhammad, and I'll show my reasons why I think he is the best man ever. That's the way of civilized peoples. And I'm sure that we will reach understanding and love together.

I'm terrorist (P. I)
Finally; I decided to talk, I decided to tell the truth. To confess..
Before, I was denying that I'm terrorist, denying that Muslims and Arabs are terrorists. But denying is no longer useful. Truth is so clear, too obvious.
I say it loudly; I'M TERRORIST
I'm the one who must be put behind the bars, I beg you to judge me.
Punish me please.
--------------------------------------------------
That's true that they are the ones who came to my land where I lived for hundreds of years, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they are the ones who stole my land, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they are the ones who came by their tanks and guns, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they killed my mother, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they killed my sister, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they kidnapped my brother, but I still the terrorist.
That's true they tortured my father, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they declared their OWN state on my OWN land, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they demolished my own home, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they attack safe people, farmers, women, babies, kids and old women, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they are the ones who used cluster bombs and banned weapons, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that hundreds thousands of Muslims were killed by them, but I still the terrorist.
That's true that they are the ones who committed Sabra & Shatila , Qana 1996 , Qana 2006, Deir Yassin and Kafr Qasim , but only me still the terrorist.
That's true that they are the ones who daily kill civilians and children, but only me still the terrorist.

Ramadan
Tomorrow is the first day of Ramadan month according to Islamic calendar. All Muslims around the world fast in it, they stop eating from the dawn to sunset, they all start the fasting in the same time and break the fast in the same time. It teaches many lessons like; patience, sharing the poor his feeling in hunger, obeying God, opening a new page with Allah in every thing, unity ... etc
Muslims in that month do many special thing. They prepare small bags containing a sandwich and juice and dates and give fasting people walking in the street to break their fast, they also invite each other to breakfast together, they read Qur'an, they pray all the five prayers in mosques, they pray the long Taraweeh prayer after the Isha' prayer, they also pray the Tahajjod prayer before the dawn, they donate their money for the poor and orphans, women exchange food which they prepare ... they generally do many charity specially in that month. However they do that in other months, but they do it the best in that month.
All Muslims love that month as a month for worshipping, repenting, charity and strengthening social ties.

Why an innocent be killed?!!
Sep 7, 2007
Aug 28, 2007
Why don't we discuss?!!
'..explosive strapes..', '..Qaida..', '..terrorism..', '..Islamofascism..', '..Holy War ..'and more ...
'..the grim bloodshed demanded by the Kill-Culture of Islam. You choose Offensive Jihad, Suicidal Bombs, 'Honor Killing' of your young girls, Chopping off heads & hands in Allah's name! ..'
'Qur'an is both a religious text and a text of genocidal madness, ..'
'Hatred of 5 Million Jews, or 5 Billion non-believer (Infidel) ..'
'Qur'an calls Muslims to fight all 'athiests', polytheists, all who don't follow the prohibitions set forth by Muhammad, People of the Book..'
'... Mohammed commanded slaughtering all non-Muslims ..'
'Do you believe in your women having equal rights Under The Law, or not?'
These are few words said by my blog guests and on the web which express how the image of Islam is so corrupted and so defaced in the West and how Westerns see Islamic religion. If you hear the word 'Islam' what will be the first thoughts which will come to your mind as a Western?!!!
Terrorism?!! 9-11?!! Bin Laben?!! Qaeda?!! Jihad?!! Dhimmi?!! Suicide bombers?!! Hijacking planes?!! Exploding stations?!! Fundamentalis?!!
Am I right?!!
Actually this makes me very sad, very disappointed. Not only because I'm Muslim and this is the image of my religion in minds of those who don't know it, but also as a human to see a religion be defaced and be fought this way. Islam isn't killing innocents, Islam isn't straping an explosive strap and bombing yourself in a bus station, Islam isn't creating a group to frighten safe people, Islam isn't cutting 'infidels' heads, Islam isn't Bin Laden, Islam isn't Qaeda, Islam isn't Zawahri, Islam isn't 9-11, Islam isn't terrorism, Islam isn't killing innocents, kids, women, oldmen and injured, Islam isn't how to hate those who don't follow it, Islam isn't 'Holy war', Islam isn't how to restrict women, Islam isn't how to delete any other belief. Islam isn't only Jihad, Islam isn't only Dhimmis rights, Islam isn't only Hijab and Niqab.
Islam is a complete system for all the life. Islam is how to love others whether Muslims or non-Muslims, Islam is how to help others, Islam is how to make charity, Islam is how to equal between man and woman, Islam is how to respect the old, Islam is how to be merciful to the little, Islam is how to be kind to animals, Islam is how to have best ethics in every thing (policy, dealings, war), Islam is how to respect others beliefs, Islam is how to be moderate in every thing, Islam is how to value woman as a mother, daughter, wife, sister and grandmother, Islam is how to work hard for the best of the world. In a word; Islam is a peace, love and moderation message.
Every Muslim knows these facts, but there is many of non-Muslims who don't know these facts, in contrary they think and believe strongly in the opposite. It's a real problem. A problem to misguide and mislead millions of Westerns and make them have a completely corrupted image about Islamic religion. And it must be sloved, this solution is very important because of many reasons; one of them is that there is an international Islamophobia which makes millions frightened from Islam and Muslims and may hate them. Another reason is that Muslims represents about 1.4 billion people and this is an enough reason to know about the reality of 20% of world's population's belief. Also political and economical cooperation and love among societies and peoples can't come when there is a corrupted image about one community of these various communities. In addition; a lie musn't last for a long time.
This solution will come when there is open-minded people from both sides; Muslims and Westerns, who are ready to talk, ready to listen to the other side, ready to understand, ready to build, ready to find common places, ready to coexist, who are moderate, who really knows the necessity of this speech, who believe in the importance of cooperation among nations in this age.
So, I'm inviting here for a speech, a speech built on understanding and listening, a speech which aims at reaching the truth, a speech which aims at understanding each other and meeting in one common area. Which don't start from; 'You are accused, then defend yourself', but starts from; 'I don't know about your belief, then tell me'. Who will accept?!!

Shame innocent killers
Dear, I'm going to kill you.Why, I'm just a 3 months baby?!!To prevernt more killings.
I really wonder of that logic, to kill to prevent kill!!! That logic reminds me of the logic of Nazis; 'German people is superior than other peoples, so there is no problem to kill any other body' That's why they killed savagely terrible numbers of innocent Jews for no reason but being non-Germans.
I believe that any one who kills innocents will find some justification, any justification, whether logical or not. Qaeda will say Qur'an ordered us, Crusades will say for the sake of the cross, Israel will say self-defence ... Americans also had a justification, and it was to prevent more killings.
I think that that kind of justification shows how human's value really worths for them. No thing. It's really terrible to kill thousands and thousands of kids, women and civilians to stop a war!!! What kind of heart accepts that!!!
If I were Harry Truman, I would do any other thing but killing innocents. I would drop bombs on Japanese army even if they vanished, but not innocents and civilians!! Or may I settle the war by declaring my surrender, my defeat worths no thing if lives of innocents interrupted.
This silly justification is refuted. If it was true that the only reason for killing those innocents was to prevent killing more innocents (!!!) then why didn't America payed for Japan the costs of the destruction caused by those bombs?!!! Didn't kind-hearted Americans knew that Atomic bombs will cause radiation sickness for other thousands and will last for generations?!!!! That's a thing which they should have consider before bombing all those innocents, if they were human being having a human's heart.
Away from any thing, let's hope patience for every family of every innocent killed by a savage barbaric killer, whether he was Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddist, Iraqi, English, Japane.

An image about trinity
I don't want to create a discussion with Christians, nor I mean to insult their beliefs. But just I found this image on the Wikipedia and I have a simple comment on it.
If we made it like a math process, then;
If God= Son
and God= Father
then Son = Father
Also;
If God = Son
and God = Holy spirit
then Son = Holy spirit
Also;
If God= Father
And God = Holy spirit
then Father = Holy spirit
And we can extract from all these conclusion one conclusion that;
God = Father = Son = Holy spirit
I wonder then that Son is Father and in the same time they both are God and Holy spirit.
So the question is; Is the problem about the image or the belief itself?!!!
Again I repeat it, I don't mean to insult.

All the same, or not?!!

ALL are terrorists!!!!
Why not?!!!!
'One' of this people killed 32 innocents, he
shooted them randomly, he didn't care for their families, their children, oh, he
suicied also. What a barbaric ... 'people'!!!!!
No, it's not only the Korean people which consists of killers and
terrorists; their constitution also invites for killing innocents and
children!!!!!
What is this stupid conclusion, right?!!! That's right that he is a killer to do that, but this don't mean that his people or even his family are bad guys, but this is only one, and the bad deed of 'one' don't mean that all the 'group' which he belongs to are bad. This don't mean that the background which he came from invites to badness.
So, why when some of those who kill and destroy and attack innocents and children under Islam name, and claim that they are Muslims do that; the world shout then that ALL Muslims are terrorists?!!!! That's not only what the world acuse Muslims of, the world accuse Islamic resources that they invite for killing innocents and enemizing the world?!!!!!!
We must be fair and just when we judge others, we must judge by our own minds and have our own points of views not the views which our politians and media wants us to have.
By the way, what was his religion?!!!!
Osama Bin Laden is a Muslim, Zawahri is a Muslim, Zarqawia was a Muslim, .... were Muslims. So what about the religion of Cho Seung-Hui?!!!!
Sorry for all victims' families, Sorry for South Korean people to be accused of being terrorist.

'Against law'

Yes, Israel has a right to exist
My American guest asked me; if I believe that Israeli nation has the right to exist or not. Yes, Israeli nation has the right to exist.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazed?!!!!! Any way this amazement will vanish when you read my explanation..
Every people and every nation has the complete right to live freely and peacefully without harming others. That's the way I believe.
So, if we considered the Israeli nation which existed for long centuries before my birth, your birth and before the birth of all people on earth now, is a nation like any other nation, taking into consideration the lawful fact that the difference between nation and people or state is the element of authority, and asked ourselves if they have the right to exist or not, then, we can reply by another question; Are Israelis(Jews) human beings or not?!!
Now, my respond is clear; Jews who are sons of Israel(Jacob) are human beings, and only for that fact they have the complete right to live and exist. As a result; this Israeli nation has the right to exist.
BUT if were going to talk about Israeli state which has been declared in 1948, so, it's completely different. I won't say directly what I think about the right of Israeli state to exist, but firstly there are more important views than mine to Israeli state and its right to exist..
In the preamble of UN charter; you can read this as a general obligation on UN peoples; '..to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours ..', You can also read following in the 2nd article of UN charter; 'All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, ...'
So, what can we extract from these texts?!!! Every people is obligated to live together in peace with its neighbours, and to be good neighbours!!! Let me think for a moment; Live in peace!! Good neighbours!! As a good neighbour I help my neighbours in their troubles, share them in their happiness and sadness, exchange advice, greet them, visit them when they become ill, not to spy on them, ..etc. And if I'm not going to do all that, then the least thing which I have to do is that not to harm them and to steal their belongings, right?!!
So, how a people can be a good neighbour?!!! Help other peoples in their troubles, share their happiness and sadness, exchange knowledge, not to spy on it.. . Yes, that's right. And if this people isn't going to do any of that, then the least thing to do is not to harm other peoples and not to steal what these peoples own. It's an ethical obligation before being an obligation out of law.
As for the 2nd article it sets an obligation on states not to use any kind of force or even threat of using it in their relations together against territorial integrity or political independence of any other state!!! The obligation is so clear!!! No state can use force against territorial integrity or political independence of other states to achieve any of its purposes.
Regarding to these texts, the declaration of the state Israel is against international law!!!!!
Israeli people wasn't the good neighbour to Palestinian people, in contrary it stole its land without having a reasonable reason that justifies stealing Palestinian lands from their people and random killing. On the other hand, Israel clearly used force against integrity of Palestinian land (Declaration of a state on another state represents the most grave threat to integrity of this state!!!)
As for the 2nd part of the article '..political independence..' Israel deleted and destroyed political independence of Palestine. Actually; after there were an independent state called 'Palestine ', this state has been deleted!!!! And another state has been declared instead on this state!!!
Yes, Jews(Israelis) had a purpose which was their unity on one land under one state, after oppression committed against them during WWII, and even before that for long centuries. They gathered and discussed about the good area that will be their state, one of the choices was Uganda but they refused it. Then Balfour Declaration has been made to establish national home for Jews in Palestine !!!!!!! And 1948 came by the birth of this state on Palestinian lands,, 'Israel'. A nd since then there is continues extension for the sake of Israeli state against Palestinian land.
The right of Jews to unit must be respected and even to be supported, but if this right opposed with rights of other peoples living in peace, independently and under an established and situated authority, then, the right of this people must be respected firstly.
If we're going to talk about humanical law, then we'll fill thousands of long papers.
Israel daily break the humanical rule which obligates not to attack children and babies. Israel daily break the huanical law which obligates not to attack women and old men. Israel daily break humanical rule which obligates not to attack armless people. Israel daily break the humanical rule which obligates not to attack civilians. Israel daily break the humanical law which obligates not to target civil homes and destroy habitation apartments.
So, what can be a good solution?!!!!
I recommend a solution. Why don't Israelis declare their own state on a land where there is no people and where there is no independent state?!!! Do you know where this kind of land can be found?!!! No people, No independent state?!!!! ..... Antarctica.
Illogical, right?!!!!
So, is it logical to accept killing and killing and killing of babies like Eman Hajjo (4 months old) in 5-1-2001, Sarah (1.5 years old) in 1-10-2001, children like Mohammad Al-Dorra (12 years) 30-9-2001, old men like ( Ahmad Yaseen) and civilians (don't need here any example as the world knows the daily and continues random killing) ?!!!! Is it logical to accept daily destructive of civil homes and targeting civil targets?!!!! Is it logical to accept creating more and more orphans and more and more widows every day passes in Palestine?!!! Is it logical to accept displacing people from their homes?!!! Is it logical to accept frightening safe people?!!!
So, if the first solution is illogical, and the second is illogical at all too, what is the solution then?!!!!
51st article of UN charter gave us the solution; 'Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations..'
So, it's the right of Palestinian people to defend himself and his land the same like the right of self-defence which any people have and can practice against invaders. And this resistance must last till the Palestinian state which existed before 1948 be declared, and violence be rejected, and real peace prevails, and rights be got back to their owners, and war criminals be provided to international neutral courts.
I believe that, any solutions to the Palestinian issue won't do any thing, because all will be temporary and won't last. So,there must be a permanent solution which depends firstly on respecting international law and punishing criminals and getting back rights to their owners. And without that; you'll see a hundred Qana, and a hundred Deir Yassen, and the problem won't be solved. If the group of the four requires; rejecting violence, respecting previous deals, confession by Israel and ending resistance, so I think that they aren't targeting the good solution, but the good solution must depends on following basics;
- Israeli state is against international law; preamble of UN charter, 2nd article of UN charter.
- Israeli state is an invader land.
- Israeli daily deeds against armless Palestinian people is against humanical and international law.
- The right of Jews to unit must not harm others rights.
- Self-defence against killing innocents and stealing lands represents an admitted and legal right.
- If it's not good to decrease Israeli state, so was it good to delete Palestinian state?!!
Was my view rational?!!
All visitors of this blog are welcomed to discuss this issue, but please;
1. Reviles aren't welcomed at all, only objective discussion.
