Killing for Muhammad’s Honor: The Highest Expression of the Islamic Faith
Apr 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Darrell Pack
After 1400 years of Islam, many Muslims feel that Prophet’s Muhammad honor is part of their personal identity, and that any crticism directed at him encroaches on their honor.
First, some review of past events:
Theo van Gogh was murdered by a Dutch Muslim (in 2004), after producing a play that criticized Islam. The Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard who depicted Muhammad was attacked in his home by a Muslim, wielding an axe and a knife (2006), while thousands of Muslims rioted in the streets, protesting the cartoons, burning churches and slaughtering innocent people. Those horrific acts, as well as the Charlie Hebdo massacre (2012) of twelve journalists, at the hands of al-Qaeda operatives, shocked and deeply saddened my left-leaning Western friends. I shared their sadness, but I was certainly not shocked.
