[quote][blue][size=2][font=Arial]Asalam Aalaikum,

I have a question related to the incident of cartoon, although I thought to post the question directly to Mr. Tariq on his e-mail but then I thought that I should post it here in this discussion which will give chance to express their views on it.

After the asar prayer, the Imam of our Mosque talked about the incident of cartoon in his bayan.He stated that this act is the most greatest sin commited by those persons and if they regret and repent for commiting such act then they can be forgiven but if they donot admit this act as a sin and donot repent for it, then they should be punished to death.

He also mentioned that this is not something new even when Prophet(pbuh) was alive, kufars use to attack his personality in different ways.

The Imam also mentioned some incidents that occured during the lifetime of Prophet(pbuh) when a person by the name Abu Afq(or I think Af) who was a famous poet in Prophet(pbuh)'s life time and he dared to insult our beloved Prophet in his poetry.
One of the Companions of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) after hearing this ,couldnot tolerate and warned Abu Afq from insulting our beloved Prophet(pbuh)in his poetry but he continued his job of attacking the personality of Prophet(pbuh) in his poetry which resulted in his murder. The person who murdered him was the same Companion who warned him and when he informed Prophet(pbuh) that he killed Abu Afq who use to insult his personality in his poetry ,then Prophet(pbuh) declared that he should not be punished for murdering Abu Afq.

Their were other incidents that our Imam mentioned during his bayan about the act of insult or disrespect against Prophet(pbuh) which took place during his lifetime.

What our Imam meant to say that those people who commited this act should be killed or punished to death.

Now their are several people in this forum who state that Prophet(pbuh) in his lifetime always ordered muslims to be tolerant and to hold the rope of patience. Some of my brothers in this forum have also stated that in his life time several people attacked his reputation and virtues but Prophet(pbuh) didnot say anything to them.
If this is true, then what are your views about the incidents from the history that our Imam has mentioned in his bayan? If our beloved Prophet(pbuh) didnot conduct any punishment on the murderer who killed Abu Afq and allowed him to move freely on the streets ,than don't you think that it is allowed to kill such people even in our life time?

I would appreciate if moderators of this thread give their views on it.
