I posted another letter (email) to the local press yesterday. I hope it gets printed, if not, I'm now publishing it here.

"I am in a state of puzzlement. There is a tendency for some Muslims to over-react, display temper tantrums over acts they consider as insulting their religion and eroding their faith.

I may be opinionated here, but I believe the religion of Islam cannot be insulted by non-Muslims. Neither would Islam be elevated if it is praised sky-high. Islam will remain as is. Only Muslims, by their acts of commission or omission determine the status of Islam and how it is regard by others.

My faith in my religion depends on me alone. It cannot be eroded by anyone else. It does not need protection.
My question is: why are some Muslims spitting out venom at others? Emotional maturity is at stake here - simply because you cannot control others, and acts "insulting Islam" will continue to provoke Muslims ad-infinitum. How long will Muslims continue to dance to the tune of others? Let them be."

I was prompted to write these comments when I read of lot of noises made by some Muslims that there are people who wrote or make comments derogatory to Muslims and the religion of Islam. My take on this predicament is simply to ignore them.
