France is to close embassies and schools in around 20 countries on Friday due to fears of violence after a weekly satirical magazine published cartoons of Holy Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
Charlie Hebdo’s decision to release the explicit cartoons sparked angry condemnation in the Muslim world, where violence over a crudely made anti-Islam film has resulted in dozens of deaths in recent days.
The French government said it would close many embassies, consulates, cultural centres and international schools on Friday due to fears they could be targeted in demonstrations after weekly Muslim prayers.
French schools in Tunisia, home to 30,000 French have already been closed until Monday as a “preventive measure”, while schools and cultural centres in Egypt will close on Thursday.
Riot police on Wednesday took up positions outside the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, whose former headquarters were firebombed last November after it published an issue called Sharia Hebdo . The real editor has been under police protection ever since.
The magazine’s website was down yesterday, with staff saying it had been hacked. A Pakistan-based group calling itself the Guardian of Honour of the Prophet SAW claimed responsibility.
You see. It never ends! Muslims have made themselves fair game for all the crack-pots and irresponsible and thoughtless ‘artists’ all over the WORLD!!!
It’s high time that the Muslims of the world turned back to their Maker who is THE MOST POWERFUL, to instead take charge and deal with these miscreants, instead. His Action will be the Most Just compared to theirs and His aim will be more accurate.
The only thing we, as Muslims, should do is PRAY!!! It would seem that other than our Jama’at, the rest of the Muslim world have forgotten the POWER of this action on our part. They should rekindle this non-violent resource.
We have to learn to live in this era with its side effects.
At one hand internet is full of rubbish and on the other it has a very positive use. The choice is yours.
It can be a window to hell or heaven. Open, which ever you may like.
A believers time is to precious to waste on the rubbish.
