ISLAMABAD: The protesters from local colleges held demonstration against blasphemous cartoons here on Tuesday.
The protestors forced closure of shops and damaged the property. They had also entered into diplomatic enclave after breaking the entrance. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators but they continued their march towards the embassies of Denmark and Norway.
My Question is:
Is it worth it?? the Cartoonist apologized, the governoment apologized, then why arent ppl ending the issue??
If Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was alive, you do think He would have done the same??
then why are we doing this, and making a joke out of ourselves?? Why are ppl distroy their own country??
Cartoon was made and published in Denmark, then why put Punjab Natinal Assembaly on fire?? why are they distroying Pakistan??
Do you think, burning Flags and maps and puppets will get us to somwhere??
My take on all this is that, agar Muslims apas main larhna band kar deh, aur apna mazak urwana bandh kar deh, tu shaeed we can get to somwhere.

i agree with you saba!
if people believe in peace then why are we they burning consulates and other places. aren't they punishing people for someone else's mistakes?
i think the right approach is to all islamic countries to unite and demand a permanent solution to such offensive cartoons and write ups.
