Hamza Kashgari

Qusay Saudi 1 Comment

Somethings are off limits, and cannot be criticized not even in a joke, like denying the holocaust in a number of European countries (it is illegal and punishable by law), criticizing the US support for Israel, and talking negatively about Prophets in front of Muslims, especially Prophet Mohammed.

So when most find someone as weak as little Hamza Kashgari, they will be on him like they were just waiting to pounce.

As I said, no one in his right mind, in our culture would dare tell someone that his father was a bad man, or that his clan is a bad clan, or that his tribe is not a good tribe, so how can one expect to get away with telling people that their prophet, who to them is the highest attainable human example of perfection, is, not really perfect.

Whether extremist or modern, Muslims try to find the examples from the prophet’s life to follow, if they are by nature kind and affectionate, they follow those examples, if they want to practice polygamy, they find what suits them, and the examples are plenty, and as any person who studied systems would tell you, we humans always find a way to play the system to our advantage (the best people to use this rule are politicians and lawyers)

Having said all that, Kashgari is being used as an example, he is a young man with no constituency, and when you are just a small person in an old world of cultural history, if you have no back… Well, you get eaten up and spit out without second thought, Bush did it during his re-election, we didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning.

Afterthought: “In this white man’s world, I’m similar to a squirrel” 50Cent, and we all are like that in someway to someone.
