Burning, looting, killing? is this “love” is this “ishq”? And then they are blaming the media for portraying the truth ? What is wrong with our people. We ask instead that you protest FOR freedom of speech and expression. The house of God, the messengers of God, the word of God are protected by God . Why then do they destroy infrastructure and young boys roam the streets without supervision when they should be studying and in school. Is this piety or this just rabble rousing and a rabble’s excuse to get together and march? even the “peaceful protesters ” are burning and shouting etc. Make a movie instead highlighting the good of the Prophet. If the crowd will take some time away from hurting their own infrastructure maybe that will happen.
