ontrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people's desires.

Although Muslims may not agree about the idea of freedom of expression, even non-Muslims who espouse it say it comes with responsibilities. In an increasingly unstable and insecure world, the potential consequences of insulting the Messenger Muhammad are known to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

OUR VIEW: Slaughter of French satirists can't silence free expression

Muslims consider the honor of the Prophet Muhammad to be dearer to them than that of their parents or even themselves. To defend it is considered to be an obligation upon them. The strict punishment if found guilty of this crime under sharia (Islamic law) is capital punishment implementable by an Islamic State. This is because the Messenger Muhammad said, \"Whoever insults a Prophet kill him.\"

However, because the honor of the Prophet is something which all Muslims want to defend, many will take the law into their own hands, as we often see.

Within liberal democracies, freedom of expression has curtailments, such as laws against incitement and hatred.

The truth is that Western governments are content to sacrifice liberties and freedoms when being complicit to torture and rendition — or when restricting the freedom of movement of Muslims, under the guise of protecting national security.

So why in this case did the French government allow the magazine Charlie Hebdo to continue to provoke Muslims, thereby placing the sanctity of its citizens at risk?

It is time that the sanctity of a Prophet revered by up to one-quarter of the world's population was protected.

If there's anything to be criticized, it's the fact that France did regulate religious speech when it banned wearing of the headscarf.\r\n\r\nThe problem is the status of Islam within France. Muslims lack the power to respond effectively to incursions upon their rights. They are oppressed. They are unable to exert sufficient social influence to get whatever it is they need, and to feel a part of French society.\r\n\r\nCharlie Hebdo already engages in self-censorship (as do all publications), but they are not considering the feelings of the Islamic people of France. Judging from the covers, the publication isn't just racist, but particularly racist against Muslim and Black people. \r\n\r\nWatching from America, I see the current protests in support of Charlie Hebdo as a celebration of white supremacy and Christian supremacy within France. It's not about freedom of speech for everyone. It's about freedom of speech for white, Christian French persons.","author":"nobody","parent_id":267055,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2015-01-12 16:23:15","modified":"2015-01-12 16:23:15","fileurl":""},{"id":267103,"heading":"Disturbing","article":"And murder is the most socially acceptable way they can deal with their "Oppression"?
