And some wise words of sincere advice from respected leaders...

JOINT STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE AND THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR COMMON FOREIGN AND SECURITY POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

We are deeply alarmed at the repercussions of the publication in Denmark several months ago of insulting caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed and their subsequent republication by some other European newspapers and at the violent acts that have occurred in reaction to them.

The anguish in the Muslim World at the publication of these offensive caricatures is shared by all individuals and communities who recognize the sensitivity of deeply held religious belief. In all societies there is a need to show sensitivity and responsibility in treating issues of special significance for the adherents of any particular faith, even by those who do not share the belief in question.

We fully uphold the right of free speech. But we understand the deep hurt and widespread indignation felt in the Muslim World. We believe freedom of the press entails responsibility and discretion, and should respect the beliefs and tenets of all religions.

But we also believe the recent violent acts surpass the limits of peaceful protest. In particular, we strongly condemn the deplorable attacks on diplomatic missions that have occurred in Damascus, Beirut and elsewhere. Aggression against life and property can only damage the image of a peaceful Islam. We call on the authorities of all countries to protect all diplomatic premises and foreign citizens against unlawful attack.

These events make the need for renewed dialogue, among and between communities of different faiths and authorities of different countries, all the more urgent. We call on them to appeal for restraint and calm, in the spirit of friendship and mutual respect.

Have a look here, isn't this great, young Islamic people who understand!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.sorrynorwaydenmark.com/

Muhammad and the Islam.....


(Picture of Allah/God, but out of respect for the Islam, I replaced it by its calligraphic "expression")

This is an answer I got from a cyberfriend, in real life a priest in the Islamic society:

"You do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Peter, this is my explanation to all my friends: Muslims should follow the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), even in the worst of circumstances. Do not react violently as a reaction to devilish cartoons. Islam is a message for the salvation of humanity!

And this is so true, even in the Catholic Church...we use the cheek phrase: "If someone hits you on the left cheek, don't react by turning away or by getting violent , but offer him your other cheek" (this is from the Arameic translation)

Most of us have read the story of Nostradamus (picture at the left). Those who have, are trembling now, because of what is happening globally in the world right now. If the heads of state do not stop this rage, the final conclusion of this clairvoyant will be over us within a very short period of time. And then May God Have Mercy Upon Us All......

So, my Muslim brothers, STOP the radicals in your country, they are just ruining your lives as well as their own....and they are NOT real Muslims who follow the teachings of the Great prophet Muhammad....so, teach them that lesson so they might understand...

Insallah......from all of us to all of you...
