Afghanistan protests against anti-Islam film

on Monday, September 17, 2012

Muslim around the world have been deeply hurt by the recent filming of anti-Islam film which depicted a false image of the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings upon him), the video circulated over the internet and got attention of the Muslims when its subtitles were poste din Arabic and were sent to Egyptian journalists. Such humiliation done by this American movie activity provoked Muslim world to stand up and united against this piece of non-sense., this hurt Muslims not emotionally but also aesthetically.  The series of protests are on the verge in all Muslim countries lately.

Violent rage has been spreading all over the Muslim world, Afghanistan has now been in its folds, Muslims didn’t behaved cowardly and presented their courage and bravery to the world. Hundreds of the people came out on the streets, stormed the cars and vehicles, burnt the tyres and spoke up against the sprawling impact of the movie.

The movie is called “innocence of the Muslims” which has been blocked in all Muslim countries. “In Washington, the White House acknowledged that it had sought to discourage distribution of the video that sparked the protests but insisted that it had made no formal request to the video-sharing Web site YouTube, which is owned by Google. Tommy Vietor, the National Security Council spokesman, said the White House had asked YouTube “to review whether it violates their terms of use.’’ Google said this week that it had blocked access to the video in Egypt and Libya.”

The protests are not stopping in the Muslim world, it’s the fouth day in Afghanistan that protests continue to happen, earlier the intensity was quiet low but today it seemed to cover a larger space. “The people are going to raise their voice to show we are not silent. With the last breath in our body we will be against those who are insulting to our religion and prophet,” said Haji Samar Gul, an 80-year-old protester at the Kabul demonstration. “We shouted death to America, death to supporters of America, death to slaves of America.”

A few protesters carried guns, and eyewitnesses claimed they opened fire several times, but police said they resisted responding with their own weapons even though officers were injured by rocks.

“The police did not open fire at all, we used other techniques to control the protest,” said the city police chief, Ayub Salangi, who was among those hit by the protesters.

Muslims have presented a strong picture of unity around the world, they have stood up united and strong and left no stone unturned in condemning the ruthless gesture of the makers of the American film. Anti-U.S. protests spread to Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Britain, East Jerusalem, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Malaysia, Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, the West Bank and Yemen, according to U.S. officials and news reports, with many protesters chanting religious slogans and railing against the denigration of Islam in the obscure low-budget video.”

There has not been any apology been received by U.S. and protests begin to happen in the Muslim world even today.
