(Letters to the
Editor)
Dear Editor,
The furious responses of the Islamic world community as a
result of the Danish cartoons concerning the Islamic prophet
Mohammed are well understandable. But both the Danish
newspaper and the Muslims are wrong. The Danish newspaper is
wrong because blasphemy and freedom of religion - to this
belongs also treating other religions with respect - weigh
more heavily than freedom of speech. You cannot make
cartoons concerning Christ or Mary either. The Danish judge
who said initially the Danish newspaper was right is wrong.
The Islamic world is wrong in thinking that the legal way of
protest now ends and only with violence excuses can be
enforced. With violence you only harden the positions and
work for the devil. Christ tells in the Bible in Matthew 18
to discuss a matter first with the person himself, if he
does not listen to bring in 2 or 3 others and if that does
not help to present it to the church, in other words a
higher authority. Somebody simply has to appeal at a higher
Danish judge, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg
and/or the International Court of Justice in The Hague. That
is the only successful way to get the Danish newspaper
editor in prison, not let newspapers publish the cartoons
and have the prime minister of Denmark be carpeted by other
heads of state.
kind regards,
