Please comment on the insulting film and cartoon attacks of Islam.

Answer

The attacks on Islam are nothing new. It is simply the confrontation between Islam and kufr, and this will continue until the Day of Qiyaamah. The wars between Islam and the kuffaar are destined for perpetuity. All these occurrences are to be expected.

Today Muslims are the underdogs, lying prostrate in humiliation at the feet of the kuffaar. And, this is Allah's punishment for the Ummah who has turned its back on Islam. In the circumstances the only options Muslims have are Sabr, Dua and Islaah (moral reformation).

Freedom of speech is a stupid notion designed by Iblees for his snare of immorality. The kuffaar have freedom in just about everything – freedom to fornicate, freedom to be lesbians, freedom to perpetrate homosexuality and the worst of unnatural sexual misdemeanours, freedom to abuse, freedom to devour carrion and everything which is filth and haraam, freedom to utilize their eyes, hands and limbs, mind and heart in just any bestial and carnal manner they wish. The speech of Muslims is governed by strict rules of the Shariah. We do not share the kuffaar idea of 'freedom of speech'. Everything immoral for them comes within the scope of freedom. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

"This world is a prison for the Mu'min and a paradise for the kaafir." In other words, whilst the kaafir is free to satisfy all his lusts, the Muslim is bound in a thousand chains of the Shariah. He is not free to do, to say and to even think the way his nafs desires.
