Chennai: Former Tamil Nadu MLA and President of Manithaneya Makkal Katchi, Prof. M.H. Jawahirullah on Saturday said the publication of a caricature of Prophet Muhammad by the French newspaper “Charlie Hebdo” and the support extended by the French government led by President Emmanuel Macron to it are highly reprehensible acts and deserve severe condemnation.
He also condemned the killing of school teacher and three people; including a woman; at a Church in Nice city saying such violence and heinous crime have no place in Islam.
“The massacre of three people, including a woman, at a Church in the French city of Nice in retaliation for these heinous acts by the French government is an unforgivable and harshly reprehensible act.”
In a statement, Prof. Jawahirullah said, “the beheading a teacher Samuel Patty in a school classroom in the suburbs of Paris for displaying a caricature of the Prophet is a barbaric act. Such violence and heinous crimes have no place in Islam”.
He advised the French president that in a pluralistic society, the people in power should treat all their citizens with compassion and without any discrimination.
It is noteworthy that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was the one who ruled on that basis, teaching that the ruler in power should walk with mercy to all who live in a pluralistic society.
Muslim rulers of Spain in the past treated all its citizens equal without any discrimination. This made Uri Avnery, a former Israeli Parliamentarian and noted author, to come out with the statement that “Muslim-ruled Spain was a paradise for Jews.”
It is inhumane for the French government to promote caricatures of the Prophet, who laid the foundation for peaceful co-existence of all sections in a pluralistic society. Indulging in violence in retaliation of the same ignoring the principles of Islam and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad is equally barbaric act, he added.
He also has word of advice to Muslims that the true followers of Islam will never indulge in such atrocities being committed against innocent human beings.
“We strongly condemn the violence in France and the irresponsible government that led to it.”
All European countries supported by America plundered several nations around the world and continue to do it and yet imagine that they are civilised nations!!!
Speaking against Holocaust and Semitism is severely punishable in European countries. What is against their cherished objects is Hate speech and what they speak against the cherished objects of others is freedom of speech.
White pig eaters are quite swinish in matters of morals. Quite like swines
Harsh statement but can’t deny it’s validity.
