Last night I came across an event on Facebook titled “EVERYBODY DRAW MOHAMMAD DAY”. I opened that page and I was stunned to see the derogatory drawings and insulting and mocking pictures of our beloved Prophet (PBUH). I didn’t use Facebook for a while so I wasn’t aware of this pathetic event taking place through Facebook. I googled it and got to know that this is in revenge against the censorship of South Park episode “201” by Comedy Central in response to perceived death threats from radical Islamists.
This reason seems so lame. Firstly the Non-Muslims made an offensive program and when the Muslims reacted, they took revenge in this form. They begun it in the first place and now they are using a social network like Facebook to promote this idea. It is in the policy of Facebook that if a certain number of people will report against an event, then the Facebook administration would take some action against it. Thousands of Muslims across the world have reported this event but so far no action has been taken.
It really feels bad and this is so unfair, why always the Muslims?
I wish I could kill all those who are creating these violent groups and engaging themselves in these sick and shameful acts. They prove by their actions that they are the extremists, not we, and still they call us extremists and terrorists. It seems as if our whole life revolves around Facebook, we’re just so used to all this derogatory stuff that no one really bothers, we’re a dead nation who doesn’t take any action on such events which is really depressing. What we should do is to deactivate our Facebook accounts.
Some action should also be taken on a massive scale and government of Muslims countries should also play their part in this regard as this is quite a big deal. I don’t know what are they waiting for?
Are we really residing in a Muslim state? I don’t think so!!!!
