>bedanya dengan ke-12 karikatur Denmark, semua gambar tersebut dikerjakan
>dengan hormat, respek. jujur saja, karikatur versi surat kabar Denmark yang
>mengaitkan Sang Nabi Mulia dengan terorisme dan bom memang ofensif.

>pertanyaan kemudian, setiap hari ada orang tersinggung di setiap sudut
>dunia, termasuk ketika kita menghadapi Barat yang segan bersikap kritis --
>apalagi lancang menghina--Yahudi dan Kristen dengan telak. Ingat standar
>ganda yang diterapkan redaktur Jyllands Posten ketika menolak gambar
>karikatur Yesus? ketersinggungan umat muslim, yang merasa terpinggirkan,
>terjadi setiap hari tetapi tidak terjadi kemarahan sedemikian hebat bahkan

>sebuah artikel wawancara di AWSJ.com cukup memberi perspektif.

> The 12 cartoon depictions of the prophet Muhammad sparked controversy
>from the moment they were printed in a Danish newspaper last September. But
>the explosion of Muslim anger around the world came only last week, when
>several European papers reprinted some of the images in the name of press
>freedom and as secular forces in the Arab world took up the cause as a means
>to burnish their image as defenders of Islam.
>
> The scale of violent protests targeting Danish embassies and other
>European missions has grown daily, from Afghanistan to Indonesia, Beirut to
>Tehran, in turn provoking indignation and fear among many in Europe and
>elsewhere in the West. The furor among Muslims stems from a traditional
>taboo against images of Muhammad, exacerbated by some of the cartoons'
>placement of the prophet in a terrorist context.
>
> Olivier Roy, French author of "Globalized Islam" and "La Laicite Face
>a L'Islam" ("Secularism in the Face of Islam"), and one of Europe's leading
>authorities on Islamic studies, discusses the origins of the fierce
>reactions that have played out over the past week.
>
> * * *
>
> The Wall Street Journal Online: Is there anything written in the
>Koran that calls for this type of reaction if the prophet Muhammad is
>desecrated in print?
>
> Mr. Roy: No, to my knowledge, no. It's a tradition among others. It's
>a tradition which is supported by some authors and varies according to time
>and place. We have found, we can find presentations of the prophet in the
>Muslim history.
>
>
> WSJ.com: Why are the cartoons so offensive to some Muslims?
>
> Mr. Roy: The main issue to me is not the presentation of the prophet.
>if the prophet were shown doing good deeds nothing would have happened. What
>is offensive is the association of the prophet with terrorism. So I think
>the most offensive cartoon was probably the one with the bomb in the turban
>of the prophet.
>
> WSJ.com: Is this more offensive to Sunnis than Shiites or to certain
>Muslims more than others?
>
> Mr. Roy: In a sense, yes, because in Shiism such representation is
>more often found. And secondly, the issue here in Europe at least is that
>the cartoons have been seen as discriminatory. Wrongly or rightly, the idea
>is that the European newspapers could make fun of Muslims but they will
>not dare to make fun of Jews or Christians, at least as far as the
>respectable newspapers are concerned. To me, for the Muslims in the streets
>in Europe -- I am not speaking of the Middle East -- it has been experienced
>as discrimination more than blasphemy.
>
> WSJ.com: To what extent, if any, is the Muslim furor a buildup from
>other events that have contributed to higher Western-Muslim tension in the
>post-9/11 era, including the war in Iraq, the headscarf ban in France and
>the pent-up social stress in France that led to the riots last fall?
>
> Mr. Roy: If we leave Europe and if we look at riots in the Middle
>East, we can see that these riots are systematically linked with local
>political crises. So it is not the upheaval of the Muslim world against the
>West. It's the political exploitation of these cartoons by regimes or
>political organizations.
>
> WSJ.com: So you've seen this building up for quite some time?
>
> Mr. Roy: Yes, we have two issues here. One is that it's simply a
>political [exploitation of the anger]. The Syrian regime is using this to
>counterattack against the pressure to leave Lebanon. We should not look
>beyond that to understand what is going on in Damascus. This Syrian regime
>is a secular dictatorship which killed tens of thousands of Muslim brothers.
>So Bashar al Assad is not doing that to support Islam. He is doing that to
>punish the Europeans for having contributed to expelling the Syrian troops
>from Lebanon. So it's in the wake of the assassination of [Rafik] Hariri,
>the former Lebanese prime minister, by the Syrians. So the stake is not
>Islam here. [Note: The United Nations is investigating the Syrian role in
>the assassination and has issued statements critical of Damascus, but the
>investigation hasn't yet been completed.]
>
> WSJ.com: Is that the second issue?
>
> Mr. Roy: Yes, the second issue is the fact that the Europeans for the
>last two years had a more active profile in the Middle East than they had at
>the time of the U.S. military intervention in Iraq. The U.S. military
>intervention in Iraq had totally sidelined the Europeans. But what do we
>see now? The Americans are slowly stepping down, while the Europeans on the
>contrary are taking a far more active attitude. Then we have four other
>issues at work right now. One is the Iranian nuclear issue, and the
>Europeans are far more involved now than the Americans. The second issue is
>Afghanistan. The U.S. troops are slowly being replaced by NATO troops, which
>means European troops.
>
>The third issue is, as I said, Syria and Lebanon. France, for instance, took
>a leading role in blaming the Syrians for the Lebanese problem. And the last
>issue is the victory of Hamas, where the response of Brussels, of the
>European Union, was tougher than expected by the Palestinians.
>
> Q: And so all these protests are a combination of these issues and
>pent-up anger?
>
> Mr. Roy: Yes. So it's not the Muslim streets, the people. You have no
>big demonstration in Morocco, no big demonstration in Saudi Arabia. The
>Muslim people are not now in the street. In France, for example, there are
>no demonstrations. So what we have is a political exploitation of
>perennial crises. It's not new. We have the headscarf affair in France, the
>Rushdie affair in Britain. And it's the same issue. The Rushdie affair
>became a big problem because Ayatollah Khomeini [in 1989] took this
>opportunity to issue his fatwa [calling for Salman Rushdie's death after
> > publication of "The Satanic Verses"]. The headscarf affair on the contrary
>has cooled down because there has been no political exploitation.
>
> WSJ.com: Do the protesters represent the views of a majority of
>Muslims or those of a more vocal minority that can get a lot more television
>and other media attention?
>
> Mr. Roy: Yes, of course it's a vocal minority. The majority of
>Muslims in Europe, certainly they feel offended. The same way that many
>Catholics were offended when [Martin] Scorsese released "The Last Temptation
>of Christ." The issue is not of being offended. Many people are offended
>every day. The issue is of making violent protests. And here we have just a
>vocal minority. It's not because you're offended that you go to the streets.
>But it is clear that many conservative religious milieus think that there is
>too much freedom of expression. The Catholic Church -- the Vatican --
> > has issued a communique, I think yesterday, saying that they understand
>the offense, that there is a feeling of being offended by the Muslims. What
>is important is the political dimension.
>
>Being offended -- our secular society is a permanent offense for every
>conservative believer, Christian, Jew or Muslim. The problem is when
>politics do interfere, and here we have a clear politicization of
> the matter by regimes who could be as secular as Syria is.
>
> WSJ.com: Is there a U.S. role in any of this?
>
> Mr. Roy: The Europeans are the only targets of the protests, for the
>moment. The protest is clearly against the Europeans.
>
> WSJ.com: Where do you see this going from here?
>
> Mr. Roy: I think things will cool down in Europe. But I think in the
>short term, things might get worse in the Middle East because countries like
>Iran and Syria are playing on the crisis. There they have their back against
>the wall and they choose to play the crisis. Syria's regime has no
>choice. And in Iran they want to undermine the European position before the
>debate [over Iran's nuclear program] at the Security Council.
