Speech, detrimental to society?

Recently, I've spoken to some of my friends and also I have watched some doumentaries, where sadly, some muslims around the world, especially in America are being targetted greatly. Not because of their actions, but rather in most cases because of their speech! Mentioning the fact that people are being arrested, interrogated, detained, because of their speech.. in AMERICA, - kinda sounds like an oxymoron statement; don't ya think? What ever happened to "Free speech in America", or the "Right to free speech?" Maybe all these statements kinda disappears under "certain" circumstances eh?
Isn't it true that when one is jailed, detained, or interrogated, it's allll because of that certain person being a threat to "society"?? Then tell me, how can speech, which apparently leaks out of a being's mouth, cause "physical threat" to another, where there are no OTHER means of solving this 'threat' but to serve time in the slammer?? Where's the connection?

Being in the mood that I am at present, I might as well move one of my posts which is from my msn space to here....

SPEECH STRONGER OR ACTION?

YOU CHOOSE....

Well actually there is no need for you to choose because a group of people part of this "so called 'free land' " have already chosen for us. Apparently, they believe that speech has a greater intensity than action! How so?

To tell you the truth... I have no IDEA how they could come up with such a conclusion.

What causes more harm? Speech or action?

Yeah... That's what I thought... ACTION!

Up until this day, I cannot comprehend on any kind of level where speech causes more harm than action...Sadly, innocent individuals... mostly our beloved Shayukh are being wrongly accused and convicted with crimes they have never commited and therefore being locked up in jails.

QUESTION: Why are some countries becoming more and more corrupt with a higher crime rate? Well, I'll tell you... It's all because they are locking up the wrong individuals and setting free the TRUE criminals. People who have commited extreme crimes such as murder and etc. are being released to freedom after a very short jail time, which is why most likely the crime rates are being increased everyday due to the fact that the laws aren't being applied properly!

Everyday it's the same talk..... "we will implement tougher laws... crime rates will decrease... we need solutions!"

A solution? Well I'll tell you... accusing and locking up the wrong individuals will never make any country suceed in decreasing the crime rates....Oh and to make the picture even worse... locking up people for their SPEECH? Since when did "speech" come under a dangerous crime???

See this is why we should never never fall in love with this duniya.. especially if your living in a country that is NOTHING close to being a "Darul Islam"! Because some of these kaffirs who are in postions of authority will just turn their backs on you and contradict their own sayings of when they say they will "... not discriminate!"

Please!

We have some of our MOST knowledgable Shayukh and Muslims being locked up for no valid reason...

One amazing shaykh with an incredible character.... named Dr Ali Al-Timimi... who along with profound islamic knowledge, had achieved an outstanding amount of academic knowledge, which in turn with Allah's help was able to attain his doctoral degree along with accomplishing tremendous amount of research on cancer which in turn will help scientists in their research..... GOT CONVICTED AND IS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON PLUS WITHOUT PAROLE PLUS 70 YEARS!....

OK HOLD UP!... LIFE IN PRISON?? Now here is a good example of how insane some of these "Darul Kufr" places operates.... Ok now if someone is convicted to LIFE IN PRISON... don't you think that this person must have commited a serious crime like murder? WELL GUESS WHAT? I can give you a zillion examples where criminals have commited murder.. where they actually killed another individual and yet the courts let them out free where we can see them walk freely on this EARTH....?

Well indeed!... The words of the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) are indeed the Haqq (truth):

Narrated Abu Hurayrah, the Messenger of Allah (Sallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) is reported to have said: The world is a prison-house for a believer (Muslim) and paradise for a non-believer (non-muslim) (Saheeh Muslim, hadeeth 7058)

Since this world will be like a "prison-house" for us believers, then we ought to be tried with trials and tribulations... for Allah has said in the Quran: Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allâh?" Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allâh is near!.” (2:214)

Allah also says, “Do you think that you will enter paradise without going through the trial? Allah has not yet tested you to see who among you strive hard for His cause and who show patience in adversity” (3:142).

Now, what ever happens to us muslims in this duniya, whether good or bad we must keep in mind that it is all decreed by Allah and it is our job to submit to this Divine decree "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allah let the believers put their trust. (9:51)

This decree of Allah, was written 50, 000 years BEFORE Allah has created the heavens and earths, as the Prophet (Sallahu Alayhi Wa Salaam) said: "Allah had written the ordained measures (and due proportions) of the creation, fifty thousand years before the creation of the heavens and the earth and His ‘Arsh was on the water" [Muslim]

Therefore, it will be our task to remain patient and steadfast in constantly making du'aa to Allah to relieve us of our hardships in this duniya.
