الإساءة إلى المقدسات الإسلامية في الغرب : أسباب و حلول

Abstract EN

The Western abuse of Islamic sanctities did not stop since ever, nor was it confined to one thing, but its intensity has highly increased recently, as well as its various aspects in form and content.

Some of this abuse was directed to the defamation and mockery of Islam s religion, and other violations were directed at the Book of God Almighty (Quran) by burning and tearing.

Other kinds of abuse were directed towards the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him, by publishing insulting cartoons and satirical articles.

A fourth type of abuse aimed at some rituals of religion in hateful racist decisions such as wearing the veil (hijab) and fasting.

There were then acts of violence and hatred that affected innocent Muslims in their mosques, homes, and property; and even the innocent veiled women and the peaceful families in the streets, public facilities, etc.

There is no doubt that this intentional abuse did not come up today or yesterday.

It is the result of previous years of media campaigns based on hatred and demonization so that the rhetoric speech of incitement of hatred, used by media, became the most common means at local, regional, and the international levels to create anti-Islamic mentalities, nurturing populism, racism, and to picture immigrants and foreigners as enemies.

The importance of the research arises from the following facts.

Firstly, it deals with an important aspect of the current issues, which is the attempt to search for a logical explanation for the motives and possible causes of the steady increase of Western abuse and attacks against the Islamic sanctities, which entirety leads to igniting crises, fueling conflicts and breaking the bonds of the national, and international fabric.

Secondly, it calls for the solidarity of all the loyal and the rational people of the world and all the active forces from all sectors and institutions in order to search for the most appropriate solutions and ways to stop this abuse and the wrong practices and means to deal with them.

In addition to working on issuing laws and legislations that prevent it from being a strange and anomalous phenomenon in Western society and change it to an acceptable, satisfactory, or desired social pattern in Western public and official communities.

Key words: Islamic thought, Islamic sanctities, the West, abuse causes, solutions.
