Bahujan Samaj Party leader Haji Yaqoob Qureshi was booked on Thursday for allegedly defending the terror attack on the Paris satirical magazine Charlie Hedbo by saying disrespect to Prophet Mohammad should invite death.
The Uttar Pradesh Police said a case was registered against the former State Minister under Section 505(1)(c) (with intent to incite, or likely to incite, any class or community of persons to commit any offence against other class or community) of the Indian Penal Code at the Kotwali police station here. The police took cognisance of Mr. Qureshi’s statement and registered a case after it was reported by the media on Wednesday.
“Action will be taken only after further investigation,” Senior Superintendent of Police Omkar Singh told The Hindu.
The All-India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, a unity centre of Islamic organisations, condemned Mr. Qureshi’s remarks. Its president, Zafarul-Islam Khan, said Mr. Qureshi’s statement was meant for cheap publicity.

This type of "free speech" should not allowed, by anyone. This individual should be punished or banished to ISIS land.

In Paris, the terrorists profaned the name of Islam and Prophet Muhammad by committing indiscriminate violence and killing 12 innocent people for drawing cartoons. But not all Muslims reacted uniformly. Condemnations from Muslim organizations were swift and even those Muslims who saw the cartoons as an inconceivable affront declared that “contesting freedom of speech is not an option.”


Today, Islam is understood through the political turmoil unfurling daily into our living rooms. There is a dangerous void of understanding the complete Islamic cultural experience. A deeply held value of reverence and admiration for all prophets is turned over on its head when Islam’s iconic figure is lampooned.


In these instances and others, Prophet Muhammad was instructed by God to face the ignorance with graciousness and the enmity with love.


At this critical time in Europe, we cannot afford to remain ignorant. We must replace ignorance with deep dialogue and understanding of each other’s cultures. By doing that, we will understand the whole of society and the human activity that springs form it.


Multiculturalism imperative is defined in the Quran as follows:

O humankind, we certainly created you from one male and one female, and fashioned you into tribes and nations so that you might get to know [or celebrate] each other.


​

This is also the goal of a sane, pluralistic society, which is especially needed in the face of today’s shifting cultures. The biggest question facing humanity today: What kind of world do we want to live in, for ourselves, our children and grandchildren? We have two choices before us: a mono-cultural world which seeks to homogenize human identities by treating minorities as alien to the dominant culture or a multicultural one where layers of identities are nested in a larger sense of identity. These begin with the individual, move on up to the communal, and broaden to a globalized human race.
