I also say this to those who are known as Muslims, any whether or not they are Ahhmadis, Shias or Sunnis or belong to any other sects of Islam; when the person of the Holy Prophet(sa) is attacked, rather than exhibiting momentary passion, burning flags, causing damage and destruction and attacking embassies, reform their deeds instead, so that the others do not get a chance to point their finger at them. Do they believe that setting fires, God forbid, is all that demonstrates the honour and station of the Holy Prophet(sa), and by burning flags or burning the property of an embassy they have had their reprisal? No! We are followers of the Holy Prophet(sa), who came to put the fire out, who was the Ambassador of Love, was the Prince of Peace. So rather than take harsh actions, impart his beautiful teaching to the World.
May Allah give the Muslims sense and understanding. However, I say to the Ahmadis that these people do not know and who knows if they will come to their senses or not? In response to the publication of the offensive caricatures, each child, each elderly, each youth, each man and each woman among you should kindle a fire that would never extinguish. Not a fire to burn down the flag or property of a country that extinguishes in a few minutes or a few hours. Here they stand showing great enthusiasm (in a photograph from Pakistan) in setting fires, as if they have had a great achievement - this fire would extinguish in five minutes! The fire we light should be such that would blaze forever and that is the fire of love and devotion for the Holy Prophet(sa), the fire to adopt each of his blessed models and demonstrate it to the world. Once this is inflamed in your hearts, it shall keep burning. This fire should be such that it would also be moulded in prayers with its flames ever reaching the heavens!
