ISLAMISTS THINK that their faith has been made fun of by Americans in their country by making a movie on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and all that he stood  for. The points at isue are: are Islamist mobs right in destroying and burning US property in Libya and elsewhere? Was the film producer within his constitutional right in making the said film?

 
The mob went berserk because the reponsible citizens and leaders in countries concerned kept mum, became a prey to inertia and ceased to distinguish between own nation's interest and a foreign embassy's interests. The Geneva Convention makes it mandatory for the host country to protect and defend personnel and property of a foreign nation having an embassy and their personnel enjoying dipomatic privieges and immunity. If a host country cannot control its thugs and ruffians, no outide nation would etablish diplomatic ties with it. Such a weak nation that fails to prevent violence against diplomatsof foreign countries will become an international pariah.
 
Let us examine the susceptibilities of an Islamic nation about something done or said against their religious beliefs in another country. Let us not forget that many modern democratic nations are bound by their constitution to allow their citizens full freedom in exercising their right of freedom of thought and expression. What America does in America is the buinessof America. No other nation can call them name if their beliefs are seen to be violated.
 
Did America go to Libya to exhibit or screen the film on the Prophet of Islam? If not, Libyans are to be blamed. It was a gross over-reaction by Libyans to have attacked the US Embassy in Benghazi, when they killed four Americans incuding the ambassador.
 
My religion, my faith are invioable in my house and my country and I have constitutional protection to live by tenets of my Dharma. If someone uses abusive language against my beliefs and faith, there is a legal remedy open to me. At the international level, the international court of justice may be approached if a foreign government violates rights of my countrymen and my national govts files a suit in the said court at  the Hague. Taking recourse to arson and violence violates internationa law. Let us remember that Law is above all and must be observed by one and all.
