Freedom of Speech?

Freedom of speech is what they call this insult. There is no such thing as freedom of speech in this world of today. Insults and no respect are given to other religions/cultures. There is only one good and the rest are evil. No words I can say can express what and how I feel about this. Even though I know how they feel about all this and always have, but seeing it happen so openly still hurts the very core of every Muslim in the world.
On a brighter note, this shows the true power and the unity Muslims have. Only one thing can unite all of them, which is what we’re seeing these days. From South East Asia to Europe and to America, everyone is united for once into one. If only all of the Muslims of the world would forget about bitter differences and unite. The world map would look a lot different to what it is now.

On a side note, I have been visiting a very different part of Australia these days. I am visiting a town called Leeton which is in the heart of the rice growing areas of Australia. It is in the middle of New South Wales and you can only get here in a small propeller plane. You get here and you see what Australia is really all about. I have not met a single non Aussie person here. People look at me and have ‘that’ look, meaning they know I’m not from around here. People are friendly and warm. Everyone knows everyone. Whenever you pass anyone on the street while walking, they would smile and say hello. There is only one small market, no malls, no McDonald’s even. People live in big houses with big yards and swimming pools, 40 degree temperatures every day and cloudless skies.
Small towns, sunshine, isolation, smiling and warm Australians, that is the real Australia.
