The Prime Minister says that the cloak of freedom of expression cannot be used to hurt the religious sentiments of one and a half billion Muslims around the world. This is unacceptable. It should be noted that allowing this anti-Islamic act under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’, which targets Muslims and is an insult to our sacred values, is completely unacceptable. Islamophobia begins in the name of freedom of expression. It is a favorite pastime of the West to publish satirical sketches and cartoons of Prophet Muhammad, to welcome so-called writers who mock Islam, and to honor them with the title of “Sir” by giving them prizes and honors.It should be noted that allowing this anti-Islamic act under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’, which targets Muslims and is an insult to our sacred values, is completely unacceptable. Islamophobia begins in the name of freedom of expression. The West is not even ready to accept the trend of anti-Islamism. And they hide the anti-Islamic actions in their country under the guise of freedom of speech. Publishing mocking sketches and cartoons of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, welcoming so-called writers who make fun of Islam, and giving them prizes and honors. It is a favorite pastime of the West to boast of the title of, many names from Salman Rushdie to Taslima Nasreen are proof of this.
Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of God, and it is considered the most sacred book in Islam. Deliberately damaging or insulting the Quran is unacceptable for Muslims. Islamophobia, racism and discrimination in Europe have reached dangerous levels. Due to Islamophobia, Islam and Muslims are viewed with hatred and contempt in the western world
Islamophobia is a term coined to defame Islam and Muslims. Its use began in the French language in 1910 and in the English language in 1923.
Islamophobia is a combination of the word ‘Islam’ and the Greek word ‘phobia’ (meaning fear). It refers to Islamic civilization and fear of Muslims. To create hatred against Islam and Muslims by poisoning against Islamic teachings. What creates fear of Islam in the hearts of non-Muslims is called Islamophobia.
With the efforts of Pakistan and the OIC, recognizing Islamophobia as a crime, the United Nations has approved a resolution to celebrate “Islamophobia Day” on March 15 every year.
On 26 September 2018, the European Parliament launched the Anti-Islamophobia Toolkit in Brussels and distributed it to various governments, civil society organisations, the media and other law makers. The move was aimed at combating Islamophobia and curbing its growing effects.
At this time, the wave of Islamophobia in the whole world in general and in Western countries, Europe and America in particular, is becoming more and more severe, discrimination against Muslims, defamation of Islam, insulting of its holy figures and places and it is being ignored. Eradication cases are common in the West.
The captive of Islamophobia has an aggressive attitude towards all Muslims, Islamophobia can be described as a new form of racism.
The BJP, the party campaigning Islamophobia in India, has crossed every circle of terrorism. Anti-Muslim violence and terrorism have been committed in India, mosques and shrines have been targeted, women have been robbed of their dignity, and Muslim homes have been burnt down, the clearest examples of which are the bloody scenes in Gujarat, Assam and Burma. Discrimination against Muslims can be seen in airports, courts, police stations, schools, colleges, corporations and hospitals etc. At the global level, Muslims have been made victims of mental humiliation in the prisons of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. Anti-Islamic films were made.
If you look at history, when Muslims were at their peak, Islamophobia in the West was still on the rise. Bigoted Christian pastors and leaders used to spread propaganda against Islam, the Prophet of Islam and Muslims throughout Europe.
The Crusades were fought with religious fervor based on false propaganda. This misleading propaganda is detailed in the classical writings of Isthiraq. It is an obvious fact that extremism exists in every society and every religious unit. In Germany it has emerged in the neo-Nazism movement, while in America it is represented by the evangelical sect. In Denmark, the Netherlands and England, some political party leaders and many Christian pastors are leading the campaign to burn the Quran.
Anti-Islamic rants by many pastors and women debaters can be heard on YouTube. After 9/11, an Islamophobic group in the United States even raised the abominable slogan of blowing up the Kaaba. In France, ultra-secular groups and the government fear the Muslim woman’s hijab (scarf). Mosque minarets are feared in Denmark. In satirical cartoons of the Prophet of Islam, cross is expressed. The migration of poor and destitute Syrian refugees to Europe is also terrorizing some people in the West.
The major media conglomerates, pro-Israel journalists like Friedman, pastors like Jerry Falwell, big orientalists like Daniel Pipes and Bernard Lewis, are in cahoots.
Fox News, CNN, CNBC reports and analyzes show bias. Most of their anchors and reporters have animosity toward Muslims and Arabs and a soft spot for Israel. The recent desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden, the unfortunate incidents of insulting the Prophet, the cursed cartoons and similar scandals are part of Islamophobia.
After three years of efforts by Pakistan and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the United Nations General Assembly, through a resolution in 2022, approved the observance of March 15 in the Organization’s calendar as the Day of Combating Islamophobia.
The background of this is that on March 15, 2019, a gunman attacked worshipers of two mosques with multiple weapons and killed 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was the largest massacre in New Zealand’s modern history. It should be noted that an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) was held at the organization’s headquarters in Jeddah on the recent incident of desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden.The OIC statement said that while warning about the seriousness of such actions, it undermines mutual respect and harmony among people while promoting values such as tolerance and moderation and rejecting extremism. In contrast to international efforts to do so, the declaration urged the governments of the countries concerned to prevent these ‘heinous attacks’, including condemning all attempts to desecrate the Quran and other Islamic values, symbols and sanctities. Take effective measures to prevent the chain of such incidents.
The OIC reiterated the obligation of all countries under the Charter of the United Nations to respect and promote the observance of human and fundamental rights without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion. The right to freedom of expression should be exercised responsibly and in accordance with relevant international human rights laws.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation emphasized the importance of promoting dialogue, understanding and cooperation among religions, cultures and civilizations for world peace and harmony.
The European Union has also strongly rejected the incident, calling it an “aggressive, insulting and provocative act”. The European Union issued a statement on the incident of desecration of the Quran in Sweden and said that it rejects the act of desecration of the Holy Quran in Sweden, this incident is a clear act of offensive, disrespectful provocation. According to the European Union, this action does not in any way reflect the opinion of the European Union. The act of desecration was committed when Muslims were celebrating Eid al-Adha. The European Union stands for freedom of religion or belief and freedom of expression. Racism, hatred Excitement, intolerance has no place in Europe. It should be noted that on June 28, 37-year-old Silwan Momika asked the police for permission to burn the pages of the Holy Quran in order to ‘express his opinion’ about the Holy Quran.
Before the protest, the man had told news agency ‘TT’ that he wanted to highlight the importance of freedom of expression. This is democracy, if they tell us we can’t do it, it’s in jeopardy. In the presence of a heavy police presence and surrounded by people protesting the practice in Arabic, the man shouted through a megaphone to dozens of people. Addressed the crowd. The man threw the Holy Quran on the ground and set fire to the papers while waving the Swedish flag. Earlier this year, a leader of a far-right Danish party, Palvden, placed a copy of the Holy Quran in front of a mosque in Denmark. After that, Muslims all over the world were outraged. On January 21, he desecrated a copy of the Holy Quran by burning a copy of the Holy Quran while committing a similar act during a protest against Islam and immigration in front of the Turkish Embassy in Sweden.
