insulting prophet

Defaming the Prophet of 1.5 billion – YES. Questioning the Holocaust - NEVER!

The burning of the Holy Qur’an, the holy book of the Muslims, in Sweden as well as the recent, repeated defamations by the French magazine, Charlie Hebdo, in publishing a cartoon of the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) on its cover, have angered Muslims around the world. Khamenei.ir is publishing some excerpts from speeches by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in condemning such actions in Western countries.


The Zionists seek to downplay insulting Islam

We say that the holy existence of the great Prophet and Messenger of Islam (s.w.a.) is the most important point in creating unity. We have said before that the world of Islam can meet at this point. This is a point where the emotions of all Muslims are connected to one another. This is the center of love and affection in the world of Islam. Of course, you can witness that in the present time, some authors - who are financially supported by the Zionists - pay attention to this center and insult it. They do this so that the importance of insulting the Islamic Ummah and humiliating the world of Islam diminishes. This is the main point. Our politicians, scientific and cultural personalities, writers, poets and artists should rely on this point and all Muslims should get close to one another with this slogan. [Apr 16, 2006]

 

Fear of the power of 1.5B Muslims is the main reason for their disrespecting Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

The love for the Holy Prophet is deeply rooted in the hearts of all Muslims. Therefore, the global arrogant powers target the Holy Prophet (SWA) today, and are trying to weaken Islam in that way. The Zionist regime and the governments who are under their influence, namely the arrogant powers of the world led by the criminal U.S. government, attack the Holy Prophet (SWA) when fighting against Islam and the Islamic Ummah. Why do they do these things? They attack the Holy Prophet (SWA) because his memory, his name, his birth, and his migration along with his 10-year rule in Medina, and all his acts and teachings include lessons for all Muslims if these aspects of his life are properly reflected on. These lessons open a new gate into life for all Muslims. The Holy Prophet (SWA) comes as an inspiration to the Islamic Ummah. They have formed an opposition front against the Holy Prophet (SWA) because they are aware of these facts, and because they are afraid of vigilance in the Islamic Ummah. This is because they are petrified by the power of one and a half billion Muslims living across the world. Through their mercenaries, they insult the Holy Prophet (SWA) - who is a blessing to the whole world and who is the source of all goodness for the humanity - in their media, in the speeches of their politicians, and in their writings. This should awaken all Muslims. We should be aware of the great treasure that is hidden in the Prophet's being, in his personality, in the memories of his life, in his migration and jihad, in his lifestyle, and in his verbal and practical teachings. If it makes use of this treasure, the Islamic Ummah will gain such a position in the world that it would not allow any single power in the world to bully it, to put it under pressure, or to intimidate it. There is a lesson in that for us. [Mar 12, 2008]

 

Who insults the followers of other religions? The Muslims, or the Western world and the Zionists?
One day, the world of Islam stood up against usurping Zionists. In their propaganda, the enemies used to say that this is anti-Judaism. This was while it was not anti-Judaism. In Islamic countries, Jews live with people who have other religions such as Christianity and Islam. Today, there are Jews in our country. There are Christians, Muslims and people who practice other religions. All of them live together in the shade of the security of Islam. Therefore, this issue is not about anti-Judaism. It is about confronting the usurping, aggressive, oppressive and cruel Zionism. They used to distort this fact and they used to say that this is anti-Judaism, but today, the westerners themselves promote anti-Islam and anti-Muslim culture. As you can see in the western world, they provoke and support anti-Muslim waves. They support those who insult Islam and the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). This is anti-Islamic movement and it exists in the west. [Jun 7, 2013]

 

Freedom of expression in the West: Raising doubts about the Holocaust equates punishment, but disrespecting the sanctities of one billion Muslims is permissible

The more important issue is the outrageous affront to the Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his infallible household), which brings disgrace to Western civilization with regard to the freedom of expression. Such offensive acts discredit and bring shame upon liberal democracy, the banner of which has been raised by Western countries and in which these countries take pride, with respect to the freedom of expression. Western countries allow no freedom of expression, which they claim to advocate, with regard to the massacre of Jews known as the holocaust, and nobody in the West enjoys the freedom of expression to deny it or raise doubts about it. There are many individuals in European countries, including scientists, scholars, historians and journalists, who do not dare to express their doubts about this issue. There are also some who believe that the whole issue is a lie, but they do not dare to say so because they have seen that whoever has said so has been punished, prosecuted and imprisoned and has been deprived of his rights. However, affronting the sanctities of about 1.5 billion Muslims - without any reasons or the existence of any quarrels between the two or any affronts on the part of Muslims to their sanctities - is permissible in the West and benefits from the freedom of expression! The issue is not that some cartoonist has been paid by the Zionists to draw the cartoons in order to further the diabolic goals of the Zionists. But the issue is that European politicians are defending and endorsing this mean and outrageous action and trying to portray it as permissible on the pretext of the freedom of expression!
I guess the whole affair is a premeditated Zionist plot aimed at pitting Muslims and Christians against each other, since it is of great significance to the Zionists to pit the great Islamic community throughout the world against Christians. [Feb 7, 2006]

 

With Zionism’s financial support, thousands of movies & video games are produced to depict an ugly face for Islam

The arrogant Zionist network and the intelligence organizations of the United States and Britain are fomenting conflict and disturbance all over the Islamic world. Through their financial support and encouragement, Islamic sanctities are affronted in the media and even the heavenly character of the Holy Prophet of Islam has not remained immune from their outrageous impertinence. Thousands of films, computer games and the like intended to stigmatize the face of Islam and Muslims are being produced and sent to the market. These are all added to the crimes involved in their aggression against Islamic countries and their massacres in Palestine and Iraq and Afghanistan and their self-serving intervention in Islamic countries to promote their illegitimate political and economic interests. Submission to this kind of enemy is absolutely against wisdom, and resistance is the only way recommended by common sense and the Sharia. [Apr 14, 2006]

 

What is the goal in disrespecting Islamic sanctities?

Behind this evil action are the hostile policies of Zionism, the United States and other leaders of global arrogance. In their delusional imaginations, they wish to demean Islamic sanctities in the sight of the younger generation in the Islamic world and suppress their religious sentiments. If they had not supported the previous links of this evil chain - namely Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist and American priests who burned the Qur’an - and if they had not ordered dozens of anti-Islamic movies from companies affiliated to the Zionist capitalists, this immense, unforgivable sin would not have taken place today.
