Nadia in her “Testing the Boundaries” editorial missed the point of Denmark's Freedom of Press laws. Why should MY or any Muslim's religious or personal boundaries apply by force to some one else?
Muslims say “God is Great” and God is Highest” in our prayers, but we often act like we don't really believe it. We boycott Denmark products and make a stink over inappropriate cartoons, as if God could not protect His own name. God's Book said “God will shut the mouth of those who speak lies.”
We take revenge over land, insults, and money… all things temporary and destined to perish – making our selves less than honourable to others. This country has enough lies and insults in our own papers to shame us without having to dirty further our poor image overseas. Let God protect Himself – He will judge and condemn. Let us just be nicer.
