Why can’t you just take cartoons as a means of expression? Why Do Muslims always outrage on the tools of freedom and mainstream media?

- There is not a single country in the world which allows absolute FoE/FoS. Why? For certain reasons, e.g. you can’t make a cartoon which
+
rejects or make fun of Holocaust of Jews in entire Europe. There is a line which restricts absolute FoE in every country and has it’s own reasons whether they are +ve or -ve. If we say about India, then Indian media houses are extensively controlled by the regime.

Now, if we come to Islam and Muslims, let me give you the context for who is Mohammad (pbuh) and why is he important for Muslims.
Mohammad(pbuh) is a last prophet of Islam and he is our teacher, leader, role model and father figure of every Muslim around the world.
+
There are 1.8 Billion Muslims who consider Mohammad(pbuh) as their father. We try to study like him, we walk, talk, dress, wash, sleep, pray like him. We want his manners to adapt in our lives, in every aspect of our life. We consider him as the best man ever walked on the face
+
of this earth. He is our leader, we live and we die for his honour and dignity. This is the least that I can say to create a context.

Now, tell me what will you do if someone made a derogatory cartoon of your mother/father or someone said absolute vile language for your loved
+
ones? Will you say that it is their right of expression or will you protest against them?
There is a limit for everything and everyone has a full right to feel good or bad about it.
FoE should be used to ask questions from govt for justice and not for hurting the sentiments
+
of 1.8 Billion Muslims. If we didn’t condemn this tomorrow they will make derogatory movies, will distort the Qur’an text etc, all in the name of FoE. There is a difference b/w FoS and hatred.
Hate speech ≠ FoS.
+
Now, the question is why only Muslims?
Muslims are used as a tool for politics around the world. See- Modi, Trump, Boris and Macron to name a few. Muslims don’t have any representative for their collective voice and hence used a scapegoat for political gain. The same policy of
+
divide and rule is used every time as a defence mechanism for failing govts around the world.

Conclusion, we won’t stay quite and accept everything which is shoved down our throats to fit-in in the liberal world.

No justice, no peace. Also, person who takes law in his hand
+
is not a representative of Muslims around the globe.
Respect our existence or expect our resistance.

Peace.
