In reply to my email the friend of mine write me the following email and answered my questions. The three questions and their answers are the best way to "handle" things in this situation as - if nothing, it does portray a Moderate Muslim's image.
Hello Nadir
First of all thanks for the reply and I hope that you are doing good in your career and I wish you all the best.
Nadir I clearly stated in my email "FACEBOOK or anything like it". So I will take this point to answer some of your questions and then will conclude in as less text as possible. In my office form the day one I have blocked FACEBOOK, ORKUT, TWITTER and all things like this because what I saw was 80% of the youngsters were involved only in chatting finding new girls/boys, girls expressing their ideal, boys chatting with girls and flirting and many people uploading pictures of their sisters, mother and family without making them private which were viewable to many strangers. I am not counting you or anyone in this email in the 80% I mentioned but everyone knows better about their own self. So I am against these social sites since the start when they did not say a single word good or bad to Islam or anything related to Islam.
I agree with all points you mentioned and yes it is true that our enemies use us for promoting material which is against us, but there is a difference in all of us. Just like you received a message about this event I received it too, you went to check the page but I did not because I love Muhammad (PBUH) after Allah and more than any other human being I am related or not related too and I know that things like this can not do a single bit of bad to Muhammad (PBUH) and Islam, what my point was, is and always will be is that where are our developers and website engineers going???? Did we every make any site for Islamic gathering and learning???? How much of us goes to IRF's web site or any other "authentic" web site of Islam??? We don't go because we don't have any physical benefit from it. I saw TV programs who were saying that blocking FACEBOOK is not the solution, I ask them and you to "give a solution"
Please take my email in positive and see that I am not speaking against FACEBOOK, I am speaking against all things like this, you have to see and understand that it has become a status symbol that your kid is working on computer all night and very good at using computer but non of the parents are looking that what their kids are looking at.
Let me give you an example. Many Ulma says that TV is HARAM, and almost everyone make fun of them. I accept that TV is a tool and its bad use is HARAM. Please tell me and give me any good and solid example of "TV's GOOD USE" now a days. Don't tell me that you don't use it bad, give me an example which is practiced by a large number of people. You know STAR Plus dramas starts at 7pm which is basically the MAGHRIB time and they continue till midnight covering ISHA and at the time of AZAN in many homes sound of HINDU bells and BAJHANS are ringing. So actually the Ulma who said TV HARAM were right because they had more knowledge than us and they knew that what ever we do we cant stay away from the bad things TV is showing.
Many people are dishearten on blocking of FACEBOOK because of financial loss, and only Allah knows what is inside your, mine and everyone's heart.
Please try to grab my point that we on the whole are going towards destroying our own self by the use of technology and media because we are not teaching ourselves we are just blindly following west.
Answer to your questions
Final Part: My Question.
I will end this debate by asking myself and everyone around me two ROOT LEVEL questions.
1. What is the punishment for blasphemy? Death right? So is the owner of the event Molly Norris dead yet? Secondly, on the 10 Muharram event, they took out individual faces who lit the fire and prosecuted them... So is anyone who made the artwork dead or Islamically prosecuted yet?
-> yes they all are alive but you have to see before asking this question that SHRIAT Law is not applied anywhere not even in Saudi Arab properly so until the Law of SHARIAT is not implemented we can not give this punishment and it's a failure of you me and every muslim not only of the government.
2. Have you tried to erase or destroy any insulting imagery from the internet yourself with your own hands?
-> Why should I, its like you are increasing your own blood pressure and getting balackmailed emotionally. I say why you go to the page, what is the result if you go an erase the image????? Instead of this why don't you say ok from now and onwards I will practice every SUNNAT of Muhammad (PBUH) and I will show my enemies that SABAR is the greatest tool of Muslim.
3. If the question 1 and 2 has the answer "NO" then what they hell are we "Muslims" doing?
-> This is the right question for all of us. What are we doing, but before asking this from all make yourself punctual in NAMAZ 5 times a day, follow all SUNNAT and at least once in your life read the Urdu translation of QURAN. Islam starts with making your own self right according to Islam first.
Secondly if we Muslims of Pakistan protest against this event then we are showing the world that even if no country speaks against it, even if Saudi Arab is also quite on this but we will always speak against events like this because in Pakistan there are some Muslims who really love Islam.
