The Bigger Culprit

English book, p. 163

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

THOSE WHO RIDICULE THE PROPHET Such incidents are seen as acts of barbarism in the modern world. If Muslims had engaged in such aggression in the name of their community, it would have been perceived as a communal issue. However, since they have carried out these actions in the name of the Prophet of Islam, naturally, it will be associated with the Prophet of Islam. As a result, people may assume that these actions reflect what the Prophet of Islam taught his followers. While Rushdie defamed himself through his writings in ‘The Satanic Verses,’ Muslims have inadvertently defamed the Prophet of Islam through their actions. It becomes clear who the bigger culprit is in this scenario.
