Muslims Want Int'l Law on Respecting Religions
"European laws prohibit insults against ministers and officials but allow ridiculing a sacred figure revered by millions of Muslims," said Belkhadem.
By Abdul Rahman Khuzairan, Waleed Tulmasani, IOL Correspondents
MUSLIM CAPITALS, February 5, 2006 (IslamOnline.net) – A cohort of Muslim dignitaries and organizations are calling for the enactment of an international law banning the publication of any insults to religious symbols and values.
"The United Nations must pass binding resolutions obliging all countries to respect religions and religious symbols, similarly to the anti-Semitism laws," Abdelaziz Belkhadem, Algerian Minister of State and personal representative of President AbdelAziz Bouteflika, told IslamOnline.net.
He accused European countries of adopting double standards in dealing with insults against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
"European laws prohibit insults against ministers and officials but allow ridiculing a sacred figure revered by millions of Muslims," said Belkhadem, a former foreign minister.
Twelve cartoons, published by Denmark's mass-circulation Jyllands-Posten late September, included portrayals of the Prophet wearing a time-bomb shaped turban and showed him as a knife-wielding nomad flanked by shrouded women.
The drawings have caused an uproar in the Muslim world and triggered a new cultural battle over freedom of speech and respect of religions.
Incensed Muslims have demonstrated against Denmark, burnt its flags and boycotted its products, while several Muslim ambassadors have been recalled in protest.
Respect
The insulting drawings have caused an uproar in the Muslim world.
Saad Al-Din Al-Othmani, the secretary general of the Moroccan Islamic-leaning Justice and Development party, echoed a similar call.
He called during a march in Rabat on Saturday, February 4, for "adopting an international charter on respecting all faiths and religions."
Al-Othmani said the march, joined by thousands of protestors, was meant to send a clear message to the international community that Prophet Muhammad is a red line.
"Muslims would not allow anybody to mock at the prophet."
The Moroccan Human Rights Center also called on the international community and the UN to enact a law banning insults to all divine religions.
Anti-Denmark demonstrations over the insulting cartoons continued Sunday unabated across the Muslim world.
Angry Lebanese protestors set the Danish consulate in the capital Beirut on fire in protest of the drawings, a day after infuriated Syrians torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus for the same purpose.
Signatures
Joining the campaign, Tunisian activists began collecting signatures to be sent to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and European governments, pressing for a law on respecting Islam and its prophet, reported the London-based Al-Quds Press news agency.
"…we ask you to take all measures to guarantee respect of Prophet Muhammad and hold accountable those who violate our religion," reads the message being signed.
The Muslim minority in Denmark has also entered the fray.
"Leaders of the Muslim minority are seeking a UN resolution banning insults against religious symbols and criminalizing such acts," Ahmed Akari, a spokesman for the European Committee for Defending Prophet Muhammad, told IOL.
He urged support for the drive.
"We call on all parties in the Muslim world to drum up support for such a resolution."
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Arab League, the Muslim world's two main political bodies, are seeking a UN resolution, backed by possible sanctions, to protect religions following the publication of provocative cartoons.

"www.christianexodus.com" <askme2@bellsouth.net> had the audacity to say
in alt.politics.bush:
Muslims Want Int'l Law on Respecting Religions
"European laws prohibit insults against ministers and officials but
allow ridiculing a sacred figure revered by millions of Muslims," said
Belkhadem.
That's what makes the United States of America the only and best place on
the planet when it comes to civil liberties.
Every American has the inalienable (God-given?) right to call his president
an "*****" and many other things, and to his face!! And as is quite
evident, many Americans avail themselves of that right, here and elsewhere.
The same should be true for Europeans and any citizen of any state on the
planet.
What happens when you don't live in a state that permits absolute freedom
to criticize and even insult politicians?
Pretty much what you see in the Republic of Turkey.
You have politicians who use slander/libel laws to suppress the criticism
of the political opposition. You have journalists who fear publishing a
story about the corruption of certain politicians, who will almost
certainly sue that their "good name" has been besmirched with a lot of
speculation and rumor (when in fact the journalist has evidence that a
prosecutor could only hope for). You have massive corruption and
malfeasance, and a state that should have become a developed country long
ago if it had the proper democratic systems to demand accountability.

The real danger to the future of humanity is the preference
for surrendering to fear, superstition, and faith
in absolutist belief systems, and so to submit to these
willingly and to the control of those demagogues who
make use of these, rather than preferring
to reason with one's own mind.

Everybody should get to name one person, dead or alive, who is thereby
legally protected, and should get to change this name from time to
time, by registering the name with their local authorities, and name a
description of what will be regarded as a violation, as well as the
punishment for the violation. The name and description and punishment
will go into a United Nations database and be enforced on a worldwide
basis.
My first choice will be Bill Clinton, violations will include saying
or depicting anything to do with Monica Lewinsky, and the punishment
will be having to write "I will stop beating dead horses" 1000 times
by hand.

If the UN pases a law against disrespecting religion, does that mean we
have to burn Qurans because it shows disrespect to Jews, Christians and
"idolaters"?
I know of few books that are as sustained
an attack on all other religions than the Quran.

What a bunch of fetid hypocrites. These ignorant Muslims have
forgotten about their destruction of the Buddhist statues in
Afghanistan and the dhimmitude imposed on Christians and Jews and
all Infidels by the religious zealots of the so-called "religion
of peace." Have these moronic sheep forgotten the fascism of
their masked brotherhood in the nations that surround Israel who
have for three generation sought the exterminations of the Jews
and the eradication of the Jewish Democracy? These are the same
sort of people who celebrated in the streets after the infamous
attack of 911 occurred. When these religious zealots earn respect
by learning to live peacefully among fellow human beings whose
world views differ from their rigid, Seventh Century view of the
world, they may earn the respect of their fellow citizens. Until
the silent majority of Muslims curb the moronic behavior of the
mental defectives who blasphemy and trash Islam, they will be
despised and kept at the margins of civilized society.

Not all Muslims are the same, you know? The guys who destroyed the
statues were very hardcore fundies who, on top of being that, took it
to an insane extreme. Most Muslims do not condone those actions, as
you know. There are two main sects of Islam and it's not a simple
matter of the secular Muslims controlling the fundies. Do you think
different sects of Christianity can dictate what other sects believe?
Obviously no. Most Muslims do live in peace and have no obligation to
control assholes who also happen to call themselves Muslim. All they
can do is set a positive example in how they practice faith and condemn
the fundies. Something we should also be doing in Christian America,

attack of 911 occurred. When these religious zealots earn respect
by learning to live peacefully among fellow human beings whose
world views differ from their rigid, Seventh Century view of the
world, they may earn the respect of their fellow citizens. Until
the silent majority of Muslims curb the moronic behavior of the
mental defectives who blasphemy and trash Islam, they will be
despised and kept at the margins of civilized society.
Not all Muslims are the same, you know? The guys who destroyed the
statues were very hardcore fundies who, on top of being that, took it
to an insane extreme. Most Muslims do not condone those actions, as
you know. There are two main sects of Islam and it's not a simple
matter of the secular Muslims controlling the fundies. Do you think
different sects of Christianity can dictate what other sects believe?
Obviously no. Most Muslims do live in peace and have no obligation to
control assholes who also happen to call themselves Muslim. All they
can do is set a positive example in how they practice faith and condemn
the fundies. Something we should also be doing in Christian America,
BTW.
Unfortunately there seem to be many who are more interested in fomenting
hatreds, and absolutely against the world coming to any kind of
understanding or peace. Keep a level head.
Ok so how many good Muslims are there, and how many bad? There are
also many war mongering Christians, how can they be controlled by other
Christians? You see my point?

Muslims Want Int'l Law on Respecting Religions
"European laws prohibit insults against ministers and officials but allow ridiculing a sacred figure revered by millions of Muslims," said Belkhadem.
By Abdul Rahman Khuzairan, Waleed Tulmasani, IOL Correspondents
MUSLIM CAPITALS, February 5, 2006 (IslamOnline.net) – A cohort of Muslim dignitaries and organizations are calling for the enactment of an international law banning the publication of any insults to religious symbols and values.
"The United Nations must pass binding resolutions obliging all countries to respect religions and religious symbols, similarly to the anti-Semitism laws," Abdelaziz Belkhadem, Algerian Minister of State and personal representative of President AbdelAziz Bouteflika, told IslamOnline.net.
He accused European countries of adopting double standards in dealing with insults against Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
"European laws prohibit insults against ministers and officials but allow ridiculing a sacred figure revered by millions of Muslims," said Belkhadem, a former foreign minister.
Twelve cartoons, published by Denmark's mass-circulation Jyllands-Posten late September, included portrayals of the Prophet wearing a time-bomb shaped turban and showed him as a knife-wielding nomad flanked by shrouded women.
The drawings have caused an uproar in the Muslim world and triggered a new cultural battle over freedom of speech and respect of religions.
Incensed Muslims have demonstrated against Denmark, burnt its flags and boycotted its products, while several Muslim ambassadors have been recalled in protest.
Respect
The insulting drawings have caused an uproar in the Muslim world.
Saad Al-Din Al-Othmani, the secretary general of the Moroccan Islamic-leaning Justice and Development party, echoed a similar call.
He called during a march in Rabat on Saturday, February 4, for "adopting an international charter on respecting all faiths and religions."
Al-Othmani said the march, joined by thousands of protestors, was meant to send a clear message to the international community that Prophet Muhammad is a red line.
"Muslims would not allow anybody to mock at the prophet."
The Moroccan Human Rights Center also called on the international community and the UN to enact a law banning insults to all divine religions.
Anti-Denmark demonstrations over the insulting cartoons continued Sunday unabated across the Muslim world.
Angry Lebanese protestors set the Danish consulate in the capital Beirut on fire in protest of the drawings, a day after infuriated Syrians torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus for the same purpose.
Signatures
Joining the campaign, Tunisian activists began collecting signatures to be sent to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and European governments, pressing for a law on respecting Islam and its prophet, reported the London-based Al-Quds Press news agency.
"…we ask you to take all measures to guarantee respect of Prophet Muhammad and hold accountable those who violate our religion," reads the message being signed.
The Muslim minority in Denmark has also entered the fray.
"Leaders of the Muslim minority are seeking a UN resolution banning insults against religious symbols and criminalizing such acts," Ahmed Akari, a spokesman for the European Committee for Defending Prophet Muhammad, told IOL.
He urged support for the drive.
"We call on all parties in the Muslim world to drum up support for such a resolution."
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Arab League, the Muslim world's two main political bodies, are seeking a UN resolution, backed by possible sanctions, to protect religions following the publication of provocative cartoons.
IOL Staff Ahmed Fathy contributed to the story from Cairo.

So you would agree with members of the Al-Islam. Lets all have more
religous laws, that way we can have a seperation of church and state. Yeah,

They want laws prohibiting the criticism of islam, just or unjust. Or
as it used to be called: inquisition.
And as we all know, muslims have such a profound respect for everyone
else...
