According to reports Dutch anti-Islam Lawmaker, Geert Wilders canceled the blasphemous cartoon contest going to be held in November, 2018. A good decision indeed. In his written statement he said:
“To avoid the risk of victims of Islamic violence, I have decided not to let the cartoon contest go ahead,”

The plan to hold cartoon contest sparked anger all over the Islamic word especially in Pakistan as the physical depictions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H are forbidden in Islam and are deeply offensive to Muslims.

Criticism on the religious creeds and other sensitive issues or provocative material which propagate the emotions of hate and anger is something must be distinguished from the ‘freedom of speech’ as there is much more things to be talked and wrote about other than criticizing, Was Jesus a shapeshifter?, the status of cow in Hinduism, more than 16000 wives of Hindu God Krishna, Why only male masturbation is banned in Judaism?,Why Is Buddha Fat Sometimes and Skinny Sometimes? and even such kind of sick facts about Islam or any other religion.

Nowadays it is observed that Muslims are sharing the content related to Holocaust as a revenge of this cartoon contest which is something to be condemned. Its a matter of deep sorrow that the followers of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) are deforming the pictures of Geert wilders and praising Hitler and Holocaust related material just the answer to the blasphemous carton contest.

These sensitive issues cannot be tackled in a way we are trying to. Sharing blasphemous content in response to blasphemous content is neither a proper way to protest nor according to the teachings of Islam. We are supposed to respect all other religions to share a positive message to the word that we Muslims fallowed humanity over religion, cast and creed.
