OF EXPRESSION?
expression are more salient than the benefits, and their silence may cause the balance to
shift too far towards suppression’. Omer Safi, associate professor of Islamic studies at
Colgate University in New York said,” I would argue that the genesis of this whole
controversy has a lot more to do with the position in which Muslims find themselves in
Europe than with Islamic theology”. He further says,” I think that some of the same kind
of questions that Europeans asked about Jews a hundred year ago are now being asked of
Muslims. Namely can these people ever be proper citizens of Europe if their loyalties and
allegiances lie elsewhere?’
These are some of the questions which should be addressed by the Europe and
West so that a just and equal society shall emerge in future. The press is painting a gory
and dim picture of only protests of Muslims without placing the background of overall
controversy of west where ‘Nazism’ existing with a face painted with the name of
“Civilised world”.
The term “Civilised world” is simply a camouflage of ‘Nazis’, who now roam by
using new terms like ‘free world’, ‘democracy’,’ freedom of expression’ etc. The parallels
of Holocaust can very easily be found in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan, Abu
Gharib Jail, Sabra and Shatila refugee camps of Lebanon, Vietnam and Palestine etc.
These are some of the questions which should be addressed by the Europe & West
so that a just & equal society shall emerge in future.
