The image of Muslims seems to be going downhill after the continuous acts of terrorism displayed by the most extreme Muslims known as Religious Extremist. These individuals obviously take religion far too seriously which conducts them to perform acts of terrorism such as 9/11, the London bombings and most recently an attack on a publisher’s house because he published a book in regards to the Prophet Mohammed and one his wives, A’isha. Now this isn’t the first time that Muslim extremist have carried out such attacks. Salman Rushdie, writer of The Satanic Verses also experienced similar attacks because of his book. The extremist believe that these books portray a poor image of Muslims and their gods. But I ask myself, what is the problem with this small group of Muslims who are responsible for giving all Muslims around the world a poor image. Are these writers not entitled to Freedom of Speech? These authors are only providing their opinions which does not entirely make fun or portray a poor image of Muslims and their religion. What about the various other religions which get made fun of in movies, tv shows, etc? Should they go burn down the producers, writers and actors houses? Should they even kill these people as the Muslims did for a publisher in Japan. Take for example the popular show South Park and the worldwide hit Borat. South Park makes fun of Jews and Christians throughout the show while Borat makes fun of Jews and the Kazhastani people. Although I sure there have been some criticism and objection towards both the show and movie, I did not hear any protests going violent. None of the other religions have really ever taken such drastic measures of violence to show their displeasure at a movie, book, show, etc. They have ended all their objections peacefully without any violence. While I’m sure many Muslims do not take these matters seriously, I still cannot understand the use of violence of the extreme Muslims.
