Defaming Prophet Mohammed: Protest staged against Journalist Santosh Thammayya
Siddapura (Kodagu): Several Muslim organizations staged a protest against Santosh Thammayya near Palibetta bus stand who made defamatory statements against Prophet Mohammed.
Addressing the protesters, Muneer Faizi said, journalist Santosh Tammayya, who spoke lightly about the Prophet, has hurt us. "He must talk about him after reading the prophet's history. Instead, he is making comments without reading the life sketch of the prophet," he said.
"If they can't believe the prophet's biography written by Muslims, then let them read his biography written by Swamy Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Narayan Guruswamy, and others," he added.
"Santhosh Thammayya should immediately seek an unconditional apology. Otherwise, a legal battle will be fought against him," he warned. Social activist Mustafa Siddapura said that the Prophet cannot be insulted.
Abid, Rauf, Rashid, Faizal, Andai, Rafeeq and others led the protest.
