My Parisans

Away from the shenanigans going on at TBS, I'm about to go into unchatered territorry, I usually refrain from writing on issues bodering on religion and ish, because most Nigerians usually just lose their heads once religion is involved, but these horrible crime that has just being committed in far away France by a trio of uninformed, fanatical young men who stormed a satrical newspaper office that is known to have published materials that they consider to be insulting to their faith and revered prophet. Its a horrible crime, the motive of the actors would be to strike fear into anyone else that might want to do same, thus it is terrorism, its really sad, why does Islam seem to raise these kind of people, the answer is Islam as it is isn't just a faith but a way of life especially in many Muslim countries, they see it as insults not only to their faith but everything the hold in highest esteem imaginable, but the question is does it make it right to now go on a killing spree because you felt you have been insulted and what you consider as blasphemy, absolutely not I say, absolutely NOT, to start with there is no part of the quaran where "blasphemy" is mentioned and punishment prescribed , it is mainly a creation of early Muslims like their Christian counterpeart at the turn of the century , with severe punishments for those that are found guilt, this was across all faiths. In the 21st century though we just have to accept that blasphemy laws have become redundant, People would talk, Freedom to say whatever you like is the most natural thing , Satire is freedom of speech, as long as we exist people would always express views that we consider offensive, the best way to deal with it is to ignore totally, I understand many young migrants into Europe find it difficult to understand because satire, even political ones are almost non existent where they come from, talkless of religious ones, infact what these soulless kids have done is that now, they have in fact made these satires more popular, probably more media houses would be looking to republish them, and even Muslims that didn't know about them would be curious to find out what it was all about, simply put, they have helped the publishers to spread it further while committing a stupid senseless act of terrorism, sadly they didn't see it that way..which is the main problem.they saw it as a noble act, one which they are prepared to die for, such radicalism should have no place in Islam, Islam is a faith of moderation, you are angry in moderation, you should express joy in moderation too..The Arab world must rise up and nip in the bud this new trend of educated but fanatical youths in their midst, and not coming out immediately to condemn publicly is not helping their cause, admittedly its a dicey situation for leaders from this region, they would not want to be seen to be approving of the Publishers as some of them are signatories to the UN declaration on freedom of speech,either would they want to be seen to give tactic approval of the trio nor strong condemnation that may backfire back home because the sentiment in a number of Muslims countries is , why would the publishers continue to insult and blaspheme against Islam when they know that even Islam forbids Muslims to come up with image of the Prophet, even if its in a positive light. *sighs* so how dare they !

its a crazy world out there, those guys would be found, dead or alive(no be naija thankfully) and would face the full force of French laws. That is what they deserve.
