Recently, newspapers in Denmark and some Western countries have published extremely foul and provocative caricatures with reference to the Holy Prophet(sa) that are inflammatory to the sentiments of Muslims. Due to this, a wave of indignation is running across the Muslim world. Each Muslim is reacting to this. Anyway, there had to be an expression of the inherent reaction to such an act. Clearly, for an Ahmadi, who is certainly at the forefront in his love and devotion for the Holy Prophet(sa), due to the Promised Messiah(as), whose perception and comprehension of the Seal of the Prophets(sa) is far greater than that of others. Many Ahmadis are writing letters and expressing their indignation. They give suggestions that there should be a constant effort to impart to the world the station of this great Prophet(sa). Wherever the Community is active, work is being carried out on this. However, as we know we do not ever react by going on strikes or by setting fires; nor is setting fires, strikes, damage and destruction or burning flags the solution for this.
In this day and age, religious people from other religions as well as the Western world are attacking Islam and the Founder of Islam(sa). Currently, the West has no interest in religion. The majority of them are lost in the amusements of this world and are involved in this to such an extent that no matter what their religion is, Islam or Christianity or any other religion, they have no care for it and have totally abandoned it. The majority have lost any sense of sanctity for religion; in fact, there was news, probably from France, the other day, that if we so wish, God forbid, we can even caricature God. This is their condition. So at this most disgraceful act of the cartoonist, and their thinking that goes with it, many commentators have written about the reaction emerging from the Muslim world. They claim that this reaction is a clash between the Islamic world and the Western secular democracy, although it has nothing to do with society. As I said earlier, their majority has lost all sense of morals; immorality is espoused in the name of freedom, and modesty has all but vanished.
