The Protests Against Blasphemous Film & The Role Of Some Media Houses In Pakistan
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman , Karachi)
The whole world is facing the
huge protests by the Muslims against a US-made anti-Islam and blasphemous film.
The protests by the Muslims along with the element of violence in the protests
are increasing day by day and surely it is the expression of love with the last
prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) for Whom, the Muslims are always ready to
sacrifice their lives and can never bear any kind of blasphemy with Him but with
all the prophets as the Muslims believe in and respect all the prophets of the
universe.
On this occasion, the Pakistani media is also responsible to perform its real
duty in order to promote, support and co-operate the protests but the Pakistani
media must be in favour of the protests being done by the Muslims so that US,
its allies and all the infidels should realize that everyone here is united on
this issue and cannot bear such blasphemous film or any kind of blasphemy and if
someone to do so, the Muslims would cut their heads off.
Unfortunately, the role of some media houses in Pakistan is very shameful as it
is reported that the US government is funding them in order to give a little
coverage to the protests against the blasphemous film or cause to alleviate the
intensity of the protests. Such media houses are shamefully exaggerating minor
torching or flaming and untoward incidents, which indeed shows that the American
agenda is being accomplished or acted on successfully. Although the protests in
civilized countries get more raged when the governments hinder or prevent the
protestors form their protests, hence every sensible person can clearly gauged
that some of the Pakistani media houses are serving for the US government and
supporting their stance by highlighting the element of violence in the protests
against anti-Islam and blasphemous film.
All the stress of some media houses in Pakistan seems to be spending on
criticizing the protestors’ behavior whereas some of our media houses do not
even seem ready to speak against cursed filmmakers, cursed French magazines’
editors and the governments that support them. Such media houses are not ready
to annoy those governments which are funding them.
Recently a French magazine published some nude photos of the princess of Britain
and what happened then, perhaps everybody knows! The government of Britain
immediately reacted and the French magazine was banned after this issue though
the magazine had no concern with the Britain. If Pakistan government and big
Islamic countries take some effective measures which send a message to the
Muslims that the Muslim governments are really annoyed on the blasphemous issue
and are taking some serious and extraordinary steps to legislate universal law
on the blasphemy of all the prophets as the Jews made a punishment law for the
opposition of their holocaust, then there was no reason that the protests
adopted violence. When nothing takes place so, the protests will adopt not only
violence but the element of flaming or untoward incidents will also take place
as it happened in Libya and other countries.
It is not hidden now and everybody knows that in Islamic countries, the
diplomats from USA and its allied governments keep busy in sabotaging strategies
rather than diplomatic activities and the clear example of this is our own
country Pakistan where America on the one hand claims to have good friendship
with Pakistan but on the other hand, Pakistan’s sovereignty is being violated
openly.
In accordance with me, the protestors in Pakistan are justified on flaming or
untoward incidents in their protests. If the government in this situation wants
to avoid any unpleasant incident, there must be taken some serious steps which
represent rightly for their sentiments because to control sentiments on
blasphemy of any prophet is impossible!
