Happenings starts and ends in a way that left a question mark for us to respond. Some people search for the answers and some would forget it to let the life go as on. I would like to proudly & shamefully announce that we are the second kind of people. We saw things, but fortunately know the art of closing our eyes on things we perceive as harmful for us.
The question here needs an answer on urgent basis "Are We Still Alive or Just a Dead Meat"? Can't we just respond to what has been happening to us? Are we like animals that we are being drove by our political lords? For God's sake wake up, we are humans and we have our own right to live. We are the most superior creature on earth because we are blessed with mind full of thoughts. Dear people we can think and can surely make productive & wise moves.
Mostly on different happenings our common stance is protest with extremism and violence. Did we ever ask ourselves that does that make any difference to these happening makers? It does make difference, but in our lives only with harmful effects. Can we just make it a little productive, so that it would make a positive and long lasting effect in lives of everybody.
Burning buildings, cars and destroying other assets will only destroy us, which is what the enemies wanted to achieve. Load-shedding is a greater disturbance but, if we start lessening our consumption & stop wastage of resources, the enemies wouldn't get a chance for corruption which would ultimately free us from this nuisance. Likewise we can eradicate water-shedding, gas-shedding, petroleum shortages and other nuisances from our society.
Now, on a greater & bigger note making fun and disrespecting someone's religious beliefs & values is something which is not an acceptable or ignorable happening. We should be one as humans and should not breach anyone's religious respects. But, is it right to destroy / harm people and assets to show your protest? Does it make a stop on these happenings by showing violence and extremism? Every religion gives us a lesson to spread love & respect for everybody, everywhere and at anytime. Violence will not make an end to these disrespectful happenings, but love will and can end this resulting in one united humanitarian society. We can & should stand united as one humanitarian society and banish these culprits of humanitarian respects by all means. We should also end the double standards which are killing us very badly by creating racism & colonial violence.
The Holy Quran -
[2:177] It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believe in God and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and give wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observe proper worship and pay the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the pious.
[3:105] Do not be like
those who became divided and disputed, despite the clear proofs that were given
to them. For these have incurred a terrible retribution.
[6:159] Those who divide themselves into sects do not belong with you. Their judgment rests with GOD, and then He will inform them of everything they had done.
[30:32] (Do not fall in idol worship,) like those who divide their religion into sects; each party rejoicing with what they have.
[42:13] He decreed for you the same religion decreed for Noah, and what we inspired to you, and what we decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall uphold this one religion, and do not divide it." The idol worshipers will greatly resent what you invite them to do. GOD redeems to Himself whomever He wills; He guides to Himself only those who totally submit.
The Holy Bible, Torah & Zabur -
[Leviticus 19:17-18] You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbour, and not bear sin because of him. / You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD.

[Proverbs
31:8-9] Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Open your mouth, judge righteously; defend the rights of the poor and
needy.
[Isaiah
1:17] Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the
fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
[Psalm
82:3] Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the
afflicted and the destitute.
Bhagwat Geeta –
[16.21]
Triple is the gate of this hell, Destructive of the self: Lust, Anger and
Greed. Therefore avoid these.
Guru Granth Sahab –
[Pg.446]
They look upon all with equality, and recognize the Supreme Soul, the Lord,
pervading among all. Those who sing the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, obtain
the supreme status; they are the most exalted and acclaimed people.
[Pg.272]
The God-conscious being is always unstained, like the sun, which gives its
comfort and warmth to all. The God-conscious being looks upon all alike, like
the wind, which blows equally upon the king and the poor beggar.
[Pg.96]
There is only one breath; all are made of the same clay; the light within all is
the same. The One Light pervades all the many and various beings. This Light
intermingles with them, but it is not diluted or obscured. By Guru’s Grace, I
have come to see the One. I am a sacrifice to the True Guru.
Now, specifically about the movies & caricatures being made of Prophets and their companions (Peace & Blessings Be Upon Them) either good or bad are just an insulting attitude / an assault on their purity & respect. True humans always haven't accept & appreciate this attitude, whether or not they belong to that religion. Like "Sam Baccile" & "Terry Jones" made an effort to assault the personality of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) by making that blasphemous movie, which should be banned by all the media, all over the world.
"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness."
George Bernard Shaw
"The
Prophet (PBUH) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an
administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted
husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or
equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the
selfless personality of Muhammad (PBUH) to achieve such incredible perfections."
Alphonse de Lamartine
"I wanted
to know the best of one which holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of
millions of mankind....I became more than convinced that it was not the sword
that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life.
It
was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the
scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and
followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in
his own mission. These and not
the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.”
Mahatma
Gandhi
"The
personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of
it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque
scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior;
Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator;
Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the
Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge;
Muhammad, the Saint. All in all
these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is
alike a hero."
K. S. Ramakrishna Rao
Diwan Chand
Sharma
"The
league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle of
international unity and human brotherhood on such universal foundations as to
show candle to other nations." He continues, "The fact is that no
nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam has done towards the
realization of the idea of the League
of Nations."
Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje
"He is a prophet and not a poet and therefore his Koran is to be seen as Divine Law and not as a book of a human being, made for education or entertainment." Wolfgang Goethe
"The good sense of Muhammad despised the pomp of royalty. The Apostle of God submitted to the menial offices of the family; he kindled the fire; swept the floor; milked the ewes; and mended with his own hands his shoes and garments. Disdaining the penance and merit of a hermit, he observed without effort of vanity the abstemious diet of an Arab."
Edward Gibbon
"It was the genius of Muhammad, the spirit that he breathed into the Arabs through the soul of Islam that exalted them. That raised them out of the lethargy and low level of tribal stagnation up to the high watermark of national unity and empire. It was in the sublimity of Muhammad's deism, the simplicity, the sobriety and purity it inculcated the fidelity of its founder to his own tenets that acted on their moral and intellectual fiber with all the magnetism of true inspiration."
Arthur Glyn Leonard
“Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) had high moral standards, wisdom, warm heartedness, deep sympathy, mercy, truthfulness, and fidelity.” If the value of men was to be measured by the great acts they did, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was one of the greatest figures throughout history. Western scholars started to be fair with Muhammad (peace be upon him), though religious bigotry made several other historians blind to acknowledge his virtue.”
Gustave Le Bon
Also, we (Muslims) all over the world should not forget the teachings of our beloved & most respected Rasoolullah (S.A.W) on spreading peace and love. We all know that how many assaults were done on Him (S.A.W), but he always convert those assaults and hatred into love & companionship. Then why are we doing this in our protests? Aren't we Muslims? Didn't we love Him (S.A.W)? Did we ask ourselves that why is this fuss being created for us and why we are divided in parts? Why wouldn't we stand united as one nation to stop this blasphemy?

Because; We Are Not Muslims.
Because; Muslims Have No Sects.
Because; Muslims Love To Follow Him (S.A.W).
Because; Quran & Hadith Are Not Part of Our Daily Life.
AND
Because; We Are Obsessed with Violence.
!!! BECAUSE WE ARE DEAD !!!
TO STOP BLASPHEMY; WAKE UP, LOVE & FOLLOW HIS (S.A.W) TEACHINGS.
