I tell to the newspaper also that they should be mindful that Denmark is not a country where there is no rule of law; unlike Pakistan, where if the mullah so wishes only then the law is enforced and where no justice is done. Anyhow, these people have some sense of justice. We are collecting all the facts, and have asked for reports to be sent in. By printing the news with reference to a Danish officer and maintaining that the caricatures were published on the assurance of the Ahmadiyya Community in that, God forbid, the teaching of the Holy Prophet(sa) has been canceled, they are alleging that the Danish government was also embroiled in this. Meanwhile, the Danish Prime Minister has been vociferous and has given many statements that the action was taken by the newspaper and that they disapproved of it but could not say anything due to the freedom of the press. Exactly what is freedom of press is a completely separate issue. Anyway, they deny it, while the newspaper maintains that their government is involved. Therefore the Danish government also reserves the right to take action against this news item. In the current climate, with the wave of anger spread across the Muslim world against Denmark, publishing this fabricated news item with their reference is like inflaming the situation further. We have been in touch with them. The officer of the Secret Service of Denmark has clearly denied this and has refuted that this ever took place or that they had any information about this. They have said that they will carry out further investigation, which will make things clearer. It was first published in the newspaper [Jang] that they had a video tape of the event, when we contacted them, they changed their minds and said that they did not have a video tape but an audio tape is available. As I said falsehood has no legs. They will keep changing their statements and such is the characteristic of Pakistani journalism or journalism that has Pakistani influence.
Anyhow, let me make it clear that this matter will not end here. This disgusting allegation against us, which is an effort to conspire against the Ahmadis in the current climate, we shall, therefore, take this matter as far as the law of the land will allow, and Insha’Allah will take it to its conclusion. So that the moral values of these so-called educated people may be exposed to the Muslims, at least to those Muslims who are decent-natured people. As I said earlier, disgusting allegations have always been made against us, but we have always exercised patience and have ever kept this directive, this teaching, of the Promised Messiah(as) in view:
He(as) states:
I know very well that whatever we and our Community are, we will have the help and assistance of Allah the Exalted in the event that we stay on the straight path and carry out complete and perfect obedience to the Holy Prophet(sa); [that we] make the teachings of the Holy Qur’an our modus operandi and that we verify these matters with our actions and demeanour, not with mere words. If we adopt this approach, then remember that most certainly, even if the whole world together wishes to destroy us, we will not be destroyed, because God will be with us. Insha’Allah. (Al-Hakam, 24th September, 1904, p. 4)
May Allah always enable us to act according to this advice and may Allah always be with us and may He make these wicked people a lesson for others.
