Yesterday I
was saddened to hear that ignorant Libyans took it upon themselves to attack the
US consulate and burn it. Then I heard
the shocking news that four Americans, including the US ambassador, were killed
by Libyans during an anti-American protest.
This was supposedly in response to a movie made by some American idiots
insulting my religion and prophet. Of
course this film was made with at least two audiences in mind, first American
zealots who fear and loathe Islam and second, those legions of Muslims who are quick
to act without reason or rationality.
I will not
waste my time watching this so called movie but I will also not join those
ignorant fools who want to ban or censor such trivial things. For centuries there have been jokes written
and told about my prophet and other prophets.
There have been books and movies insulting Jesus and probably other
prophets or religions. The three great
religions have withstood torture, oppression, executions, insults, and ridicule
and none of them will be destroyed by the likes of the furtive and insolent
scoundrels who have produced this movie.
My Libyan
brothers and sisters, before Islam came to the Arabs and enlightened us, the Bedouin
was reputed to be hospitable to his guests.
After Islam, God told us many things, among them I think is to protect
guests and to treat all people with dignity and respect. The deaths of my fellow Americans in Benghazi
was a terrible incident and those guilty will probably be punished in this life
and the hereafter.
America
helped us to rid the world of Gadaffi and I for one will always owe the US a
debt of gratitude because I know that God first and foremost ended Gadaffi, but
NATO's involvement surely helped facilitate the end of the House of Kaddafi. My father was a religious man, but had he
lived to see this day, I'm sure he would have been against the attack on the American
consulate. I will never give up hope for
the Libyan nation, 42 years of Kaddafi didn't make me forget the land of my
forebears, and neither will a ragtag bunch or salafists or thieving bastards
running the show back home make me forget Libya.
The new
government now has another black eye due to their ineptitude and apparently
they are too busy living it up and figuring out what new house or car to buy
with their new found wealth. But they
better remember what happened to Kaddafi and wake up before it's too late for
them. Peace out.
