It is ur right to disagree & criticise but IT IS NOT UR RIGHT TO MOCK WITH THE INTENT TO DELIBERATELY INSULT & PROVOKE, its immoral, unethical and uncivilised and the only way we Muslims can make the world understand that is solely by peace & dialogue not murder, war & hostility.

“It is your right to disagree and criticize; but it is not your right to mock with the intent to deliberately insult and provoke.”
He further stated;
“It is immoral, unethical and uncivilised; and the only way we muslims can make the world understand that is solely by peace and dialogue – not murder, war and hostility”.
Using other religious and holy places of worships as an example, the Parwaaz Hai Junoon actor took to defend his own, voicing his distaste on the sketches and discrimination altogether.
Wht if Muslims organize a contest of throwing cow meat on a Ram statue? Or who can slaughter the most pigs in a synagogue or who can spit on a cross with the most accuracy. Its evil. Same applies in the case of making insulting cartoons of a man held sacred by more than 1.5BN PPL
