There IS freedom of speech in the quran

nadeem

Hello!

The incidents around the world today, concerning freedom of speech and islam, demands a statement from the Quran. Here are the statements I can find

7180
And to God belong the beautiful names, so call Him by them; and ignore those who blaspheme in His names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

2855
And if they come across vain talk, they disregard it and Say "To us are our deeds, and to you is your deeds. Peace be upon you. We do not seek the ignorant."

2563
And the servants of the Almighty who walk on the Earth in humility and if the ignorant speak to them, they Say "Peace."

3348
And do not obey the rejecters and the hypocrites, and ignore their insults, and put your trust in God; God suffices as an advocate.

1065
And do not be saddened by their speech, for all glory is to God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

If you believe that someone is insulting you, your religion, our your God Ignore them and wish for peace with them. And don't be saddened by their insults. These are the advices that the Quran gives.

The question is All the these people burning buildings and flags, threatning to kill and beating others up etc. Are they following the quran, our (ab)using it for their desires?

The answer should be obvious.

Nadeem.

If it is localised within a limited group of people, it is best to leave them alone, but when it comes to waging war on us and defaming the religion the prophet and the Quran then WE MUST TAKE A FIRM STAND, this is what the Quran said too

the verse above I believe talk about minor incidents not global ones

peace
