A comment of an old friend
An old friend of mine has posted a comment in my chinese blog. It is regarding the reactions of Muslim world on the infamous caricature, published in a Denmark daily. The comment sounded as following:Not my intention to say who is right and who is wrong. But, it is definitely a shame when you see thousands of so called Islam devoters smashing the windows, throwing stones, burning Danish flag, asking for the head of the writer...etc. These uncivilised acts shouldn't be from religious people who are exposed to good teachings. Use the mouth and brain to communicate, don't resort to violence! Btw, a thought provocating question: Would you, as a Buddhist who see the picture of Buddha on the cover of a disco CD from Hong Kong in pasar malam go and burn the Hong Kong flag? Would you also go to dismantle their embassy? would you ask for the head of the publisher?
Any comment?

First of all, we should recognise that there are millions of so called Islam devoters out there. How many of them are actually smashing windows, throwing stones or asking for the head of the writer? (I deem that burning flag does not lead us to uncivilisation. This is just a way to convey ur protest without harming anyone)
In Malaysia, for instance, the protest in front of Denmark embassy was peaceful. No one is throwing stone or smashing window. They were there to submit memorandum and voice their dissidence. Further more, there are also Muslims bashing the undemocratic Islamic country. (http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/48027)
All religions spawn cults, sects and alternative religions. Do not be so certain about Buddhism, lest we forget Aum Shinrikyo in Japan, which is also a sect covered under Buddhism guise.
Many people are making use of religion to justify their act. I think we should be fair to Islam too. Sometimes, i think we are too demanding. On one hand, we want Islam to have full control of the religion's interpretation and to have full control of their believers' behaviour; but on the other hand, we turn a blind eye to extreme sects within other religions.
This article is quite comprehensive in analysing religious terrorism. U may want to read this:

The Buddha on the disco CD is not a good comparison. The caricature competition held by Danish newspaper was held with malice intention. Times reported that this media wanted to provoke the Muslims/immigrants in their country (in certain European countries, anti-immigrants sentiments are on the rise) and see their reactions. Well, they got their reactions. It is obvious that they have insulted Muslims worldwide, why are they so reluctant to just apologize? Their refusal to apologize, fuel the already immense anger felt by the Muslims when these caricatures were published. This itself was an attack. And these Muslims fought back.
I am not condoning violence, but I think that if you want to comment on this matter, you should at least try to emphatize with these Muslims.
Here's a similar comparison. If a Cross was put in a jar of pee for an art exhibition, what do you think the Christians will do? This happened in Australia. Similar response. How come no one criticize these Christians?
Please Don't judge a family becouse of a person..don't becouse of certain person,u just simply blame the religion..that is totally unfair!..
Beware of what u saying..
It bring lots of negative preseption to the Islam .
Islam doesn't teach human to react like that .
Islam itself in arabic means peace..
May Peace be upon you!
No racism No discrimination!
