Muslim scholars respond to the anti-Muhammad film and violent protests

 

We continue to see the spreading of the violent protests in response to the anti-Muhammad film.  

By now, this has become an occasion to give voice to anti-Western sentiments, rather than directly responding to the film itself. Many people have been looking to religious leaders to provide leadership in this time of crisis, and we are starting to hear from many of them.

The Unknown Companion

Quote:
Jilbab is the term used for cloth in Arabic. 
When you nickname something in Arabic 
using the same root as the word you're 
nicknaming (it's called tasgheer)
then it's either a sign of affection 
or disregard (humiliation).
This companion was called Julaybeeb. 
It was not out of affection. 

In a culture and society were lineage
and money were paramount... he was born.

Yet, we know not who his parents were. 
It's rumoured
that he was left by a caravan coming from Medina.
Dumped next to a tree in Mecca. 

His parents left him.

Julaybeeb means small torn cloth. 
It's the derogatory form of jilbab.

He allegedly told the Sunday Times journalist: 'If it (the marriage) was not possible, I would have told you straight away... I would love the girl to go to her husband’s houses (sic) as soon as possible, the younger the better.
