>>>>>>>> I think you asked a valid question. As per my observation, I feel God does not depend on our "Protest". Therefore, we can make peaceful protests to make our point. Sadly not only about religion, most of our "Protests" becomes violent frequently.
I think we the people forget that, we are not colonized anymore. We don't win anything when we burn a public bus or destroy someone's private car out of rage. Specifically Islam promotes free market and respect for people's properties. So Muslims who have some basic understanding of Islam should NEVER resort to violence so easily.
I remember, when the Danish cartoons were published (About Islam), people resorted to violence and gained NOTHING by being violent. However some Gulf countries decided to do something about it peacefully. After making request to stop such lies against the religious figure, they gained nothing. After that, they stopped buying products from Denmark. Interestingly Denmark is dependent on fast growing middle eastern market for their dairy industry. Soon after money stopped flowing from Muslim customers, Denmark quietly took care of it.
I think peaceful protests should be encouraged but violence does nothing for our causes. Sooner we realize it, it will be better for all of us.
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Morsi Orders Release of Christian Boys Held for Desecrating Holy Quran in Egypt - Ikhwanweb
Why can't they let God take care of those who insult their religion?
-----Original Message-----
I do not understand how a strict blasphemy law can be good news for Egypt. It tells a lot about the people and the status of a country when you see 8/9 year old kids go to jail for insulting Islam. I know Morsi is releasing them, but – the story makes you wonder about where those people are. Do they need to take every little insult that seriously? I wonder if there is anything called the childhood innocence in those societies. I bet – lives of those kids will be in danger after their release. Their childhood freedom is gone forever.
I remember, a few years back, when Hindus were not happy to see pictures of Gods and Goddesses on the foot wares and napkins, they protested to the makers of those commodities and called for boycott of those companies. That's about it. Why can't we get that type of response from the radical Islamists? Why can't they let God take care of those who insult their religion? I am sure millions of people are asking these questions. I believe - the path Islamists take to vent their anger may insult God and religion much more than any one individual could ever do.

Good news. With pressure from the fundamentalist groups Egypt will probably consider having a strict form of blasphemy law. Badruddin Umar has indicated that Ramu violence may be a conspiracy to have blasphemy law in Bangladesh
Morsi Orders Release of Christian Boys Held for Desecrating Holy Quran in Egypt
Two Egyptian Coptic boys are freed from juvenile detention, at President Morsi's instructions, as contempt-of-religion cases seem to rise across the country.
Saturday, October 6,2012 21:55
Egypt's Attorney General, Justice Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud, ordered the release of two Christian children held in custody pending investigation for contempt of the Islamic religion, after the intervention of President Mohamed Morsi to free them, in response to a memorandum submitted by a Christian activist.
A source in the Attorney General's office said that, "A decision was taken to release the two children aged 9 and 10 pursuant to the Egyptian law of the rights of the child, which prevents the detention of children".
For his part, Sherif Doss, head of the Egyptian Coptic Association, said: "The release of the Coptic children accused of desecrating the Quran came after Dr. Mohamed Morsi, the Egyptian President, intervened".
Doss added that the Presidency issued instructions for the immediate release of both Coptic Christian children in the Egyptian village of Ezbet Marco (in Beni Suef province, south of Cairo ).
"The decision came after authorities reviewed a legal memorandum about the circumstances of the case, prepared by Naguib Gabriel, an Egyptian lawyer, and presented to Samir Morcos, Assistant to the President of the Republic for democratic transition affairs, which led to the Presidency's instruction to the Minister of Justice for an immediate release of the children."
