I dont understand why we Muslims should make this cartoon problem such a big issue by way of violence and fatwas and cash awards. What we should do is lead peaceful protest and show the world that we are quite mature in handling these things.
Islam is not a religion which can be destroyed by one cartoon or a Salman Rushdie book. We are giving undue importance for nothing especially for people who are very average.
We should conduct seminars and inititate discussions to show the people from other religions who is our Prophet and the simple life our Prophet lived and the justice shown to downtrodden. Islam has so much great values which cannot be wiped away by a cartoon or a book. Violence is one thing Islam do not approve.
We Muslims should show better maturity and the learned Scholars and mature Muslim politicians should take the lead in showing the world we can handle any situation with maturity.
Do we have any right to issue Fatwas and who is authorised to issue Fatwas in India, I am not aware, maybe somebody can advise me.
