In strongest terms, I condemn the brutal killings of unarmed mediamen in France two days ago by Islamic State terrorists I do not know if Islam allows this type of brutal retaliatory acts, neither do I know the brand of Islam these terrorists are propagating. Islam according to me is a great religion, the religion of love, peace, forgiveness and compassion but by committing such brutal acts, the terrorists give Islam a very harsh and bad image which very much affects its greatness.
One of the main aspects of Islam is freedom to express oneself boldly but this freedom of expression was boldly damaged but not killed by the Muslim terrorists France is a country that gave the world the slogans of equality , liberty – fraternity. France gave birth to the great freedom loving genius Voltaire who once said, “I fully disagree with what you say but I will do everything within my capacity to allow you to express yourself freely, if necessary even by facing death, I will allow you this freedom of expression though I fully disagree with what you express”.
If the terrorists think that by their harsh act , in Paris, they have killed the freedom of expression in France, then they are sadly mistaken. On the contrary they have encouraged free expression more forcefully not only in France but all over the globe.
While this act of terrorism was committed in France, the silence of Saudi King the is intriguing. So also are many other kings and sheikhs who were responsible in supporting this type of terrorism. They are partly responsible for promoting terrorists in this world by supporting this brutal ideology.
I also condemn the privilege taken by journalists and cartoonists to mock Islam or any other religion. No religion is bad and no religion tells one to do bad things but it is the religious leaders who are guilty of giving them a distorted image to fulfill their personal agenda. It is these people who should be mocked.
