Danish newspapers have once again tarnished the name of Islam and made mockery of our beloved Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) on the name of freedom of expression. But the situation has backfired for them as Muslims have become more united on the stance against Denmark. USA attacked Iraq and Afghanistan because it threatened their economy and stability -this is what the world perceives, actually, Bush wanted to boost his economy because USA earns when they do what they are best in i.e. war.
Moreover, USA and the West is afraid that Iran ‘MIGHT’ put them into danger if it acquires nuclear arsenal and thus have put sanctions against it. Thus, OIC should pass a resoulution that no Muslim country will conduct business activities with the Danish untill and unless they change their approach towards the ‘limits of freedom of expression’ they permit their newspapers.
Intrestingly, in Denmark, there has been mass protests where alot of valuable property has been lost and additionally Danish companies have suffered in the Muslim countries. But the Danish side keeps on defending themselves by repeating their stance again and again that its their right to freedom of expression. All this stuborness from the Danes is bringing them loss and chaos.It will be difficult for Danes, a secular and mostly Christian state, to pass a law which states not to speak against any religon. Thus, the Danish should pass a law on Freedom of expression which states, ‘One cannot use freedom of expression to derail Denmark from the track of progress and economic growth’. This alone would be enough to control further confrontations and dissuade people from passing fatal comments.
Altough, OIC is not a show of strength. Therefore I expect that nothing concrete will be done for the Muslim Nations. These leaders will just have lavish dinners and some personal business matters to be solved. What A SHAME !

Well we suggested action to be taken but these OIC idiots don’t want to do anything. We pakistanis even suggested withdrawal of Us troops and replacement with a muslim force so that Iraqis don’t feel discontent and know that there is hand of support. We condemned their aggression against Iran and Syria and condemned israeli and indian murder in occupied territories through OIC but until entire organization speaks nothing will happen. Also some members (iran) are so stupid that they support indian claims to kashmir.
I dunno why Iran did that. Its no wonder few muslim countries want to support them in this difficult time since they’re siding with the Indians who have killed over 1 million innnocents in Kashmir. Indians have murdered more muslims than Israel even if you want to look it up.
Its sad that we muslims are in such condition today. Its only because no one wants to support the other. To everyone its his own… just because Iran has trade links with the indians they are abandoning other muslims suffering almost daily!
