LUCKNOW, MEERUT, FEBRUARY 17: The Minister for Minority Welfare and Haj in the Mulayam Singh Yadav government, Haji Yaqoob Qureishi, has announced a cash reward of Rs 51 crore for anyone who beheads the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Prophet Mohammad.
While the state government has defended the Minister’s remark as the “voice of someone whose religious sentiments have been hurt,” a senior member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board has slammed it calling the reward “anti-Islamic and anti-humanity.”
Speaking to The Indian Express, Qureishi defended his announcement saying it was a “concerted decision” and the killing of a person who blasphemed Islam was “justified.”
Addressing a gathering at the Faiz-e-Azam College in Meerut after Friday prayers today, Qureishi announced the reward and urged Muslims to show “proof” of being himayat-e-Islami by joining in the protest.
Taking the cue, several shopkeepers downed shutters with speakers demanding an apology from the Danish government. They also demanded that New Delhi snap diplomatic ties with Denmark.
When contacted, UP Principal Secretary, Home, Alok Sinha told The Indian Express: “The minister’s reaction was the voice of someone whose religious sentiments have been hurt. Moreover, since the reference was to a person who is far off, there is no question of an FIR being lodged against the minister.”
However, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board member and Naib Imam of Aishbagh Idgah, Maulana Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahali, criticised the Minister’s call for the killing of the cartoonist.
“The Minister’s statement is anti-Shariat, anti-Islam and anti-humanity,” Mahali said. “The western media is already up against Islam, the minister’s statement will only add fuel to the fire.” The Prophet believed in pardoning others for “sins committed by them,” the Maulana said, “Who are we to issue such irresponsible statements?”
If anything , WE will defend Europe in the end...as usual...
No, that's what the Germans did, in WW2. And the Nazis came into power by popular vote. Cannibalism, in India? It used to happen in some of the north-eastern tribal regions. The places where the people were neither Hindu, nor Christian.
And you forgot about the German cannibal.
"If anything , WE will defend Europe in the end...as usual..."
Yes, I suppose that is our burden as the most powerful nation of the West. They may be ungrateful but if the western countries dont all stand together we will "all hang separately" as Ben Franklin put it.
I'm talking about the lord of the rings fantasy still ringing inside your head. I'm sure you have frodo jacket and his ear peace, just to remind you of your heritage. *rolls eyes*
The point is that Europe is Islamic in spirit. Just look at the apologies, the sensitivity towards "the prophet Muhammad" even by the so called secular media, the constant call to understand Islam and its peaceful nature from the highest level of the western government. And you blame India getting hostage by the muslims?
The proof just keeps piling up.
When the time comes to start extermination of dangerous vermin, there will be plenty of supporting evidence as to who they are.
There needn't be any quibbling about the appropriateness of capital punishment, since low lifes such as this have made a conscious decision to behave as animals--wild pigs, to be precise--and deserve to be made into bacon.
"And you forgot about the German cannibal. "
Umm, OK? One criminal? That doesnt really make a point. Should I start up about that Chatterjee guy?
IOW, show proof of being a minion of Satan.
There are plenty who can attest to the fact that most churches in Europe are empty.
You're a darn good role model, dan!
Same goes to you too. Ad hominems.
"I'm talking about the lord of the rings fantasy still ringing inside your head. "
It was a great movie, that could be used as a metaphor for the times we are in now, yes. Do you have a problem with that?
"I'm sure you have frodo jacket and his ear peace, just to remind you of your heritage. "
Actually no, I dont. I didnt like the movie THAT much LOL. And it's piece, not peace. Buy a dictionary.
"The point is that Europe is Islamic in spirit"
umm, no.
"Just look at the apologies, the sensitivity towards "the prophet Muhammad" even by the so called secular media, the constant call to understand Islam and its peaceful nature from the highest level of the western government. "

"Or is that just weekend entertainment for devil-worshipping savages?"
Yep, just weekend entertainment, LOL
The Muslims understand force. The West has more force than islam. Therefore, we can defeat the muzzies, if he have the resolve to.
Oh the stamp? Fake? Hardly. Re-educate yourself here. (And stop pointing at harmless typos. Makes us seem like we are talking to a second-grader):

"Do you have a problem with that? "
I have a problem when people wearing star wars light sabres talking about preventing earth from an asteroid or a comet impact.

And look at them now. The editors fired, the government making apologies, the businesses running crying they are losing millions in business. Oh, and public call for execution IN EUROPE, and non-Islamic men of middle earth(not middle east) just looking around, trying to bring piece(no dictionary yet) and calm the angry masses.
She cannot handle the truth. Even America has started Islamic stamps...
Eid Mubarak, Hill of Tara.
"(And stop pointing at harmless typos. Makes us seem like we are talking to a second-grader): "
Second graders don't know how to spell. I am only trying to help you and sagar by furthering your education.
So we have an EID stamp. Big deal. There are stamps for everything from Pumpkins to Sacajawea etc.
