Bismihi Ta'aala,

As we are all aware, the recent disgraceful cartoons have caused chaos across the world. It is the very reason that Muslims need to be aware of their actions. Muslims have shown their love for Islam. However, they have not shown their character of Islam. The media can and have turned their attention away from the anti-Islamic cartoons and have turned their cameras at the Muslims indecent protests in anger.

Remember, crimes against Islam have always been, hatred towards Islam is ever growing, eyes on Muslims reactions are always open, minds towards one wrong move of a Muslim is always alert. Their efforts have not decreased, our correct and decent manner of retaliation and protest has decreased. We have turned to violance whereas Islam teaches reasoning and tactical approaches. We know we are right and the truth is always one step ahead. Do not let our own actions take us 2 steps back when we take one step forward. Actions should be taken through authoroties first before individual groups, community or people take steps.

It has been very heart-warming to see the love of Islam in the Muslims of this country. May Allah increase our love for Islam and Nabi (s.a.w) and my He give us a proper understanding and guidance of the steps to take when evil falls upon us. Ameen
