Girls protest anti-Islam film in Old City
SRINAGAR; 22, Sep 2012: Hundreds of girl students belonging to a Muslim school in Kashmir's Old City took out a peaceful procession against the anti-Islam film that mocks the Prophet Muhammad [PBUHS]. Girls carrying placards were shouting slogans against America and Israel. The march was taken out from
Nawakadal in the Old City and proceeded through various roads of the city. Girls wearing school uniforms were seen carrying placards calling for punishment to Pastor Tarry Jones who allegedly set the Holy Quran on fire last year on the anniversary of September 11.
The march was organised by their school. “This movie that has been made is outrageous and intolerable because when Fatima az-Zahra Rade-ul-anha (Prophet Mohammad’s daughter) was about to depart from this world, she requested Prophet to take out her funeral procession and perform her burial in the dark. This depicts that she was a very traditional and pious woman. Even after her death she would not tolerate that any unknown men would see the glimpse of her corpse. Today, a film has been made on that same Fatima az-Zahra Rade-ul-anha; it has hurt the sentiments of all the Muslim women and it is intolerable,” said Firdousa, one of the protesters.
The girls called for to restore the Prophet's[PBUHS] honour. The protest held in a primary school here had girls from all age-brackets wearing black, white and green burqas, holding placards and banners, and raising slogans against the US and the makers of the film.The march concluded peacefully. The 13-minute English-language short film, which was filmed in California, portrays Prophet Mohammad engaged in crude and offensive behaviour. The amateurish production, titled the ''Innocence of Muslims'' and originating in the United States, portrays Prophet as a homosexual and a child abuser, and shows him in a sexual act with a woman. Muslims across the globe are questioning why the US failed to take action against the producers of the film.
