Mariam Mokhtar | The Silence of our Muslims
The bullets that killed the cartoonists in Paris are just as lethal as the silence of the Muslims, in Malaysia and abroad, who have failed to condemn the killings.
Their silence may not necessarily mean that they support the massacre. However, when will they begin to defend the religion, by standing up for what is right? Killing people because of a few cartoons is wrong.
Prophet Muhammad would be very cross that Muslims are killing in his name, but the silent Muslims appear to be more afraid of what their fellow Muslims think of them.
Today, the deranged men, who use religion as an excuse to kill, are targeting cartoonists and journalists; but how long will it be, before they attack liberal or progressive Muslims? Who knows if one day, that you, the ordinary Muslim may be the target, because you are not conservative enough?
