Netherlands: Hizb ut-Tahrir petition update

Following up on my recent posting Netherlands: More labor politicians sign Hizb ut-Tahrir petition, here's a translation of what they wrote in the petition.


Hatice Can-Engin:

I could not find her signature on the petition site. However, it appears in the Google archive.

islam hak ve segi dinidir

According to a Turkish speaking friend this means: Islam is a religion of love and justice (with a slight spelling mistake).


Najia Siamari:

Her signature can be seen here. (though as more signatures are added, the page will move)

It is regrettable how some in this country and all over the world, are resentful and therefore led to sow unrest and destruction. I truly hope from my heart that these people open their heart for the religion of others and for others.

We can't just hope for this miracle, therefore it's a great responsibility for everybody to protect the peace and to call a halt to these slanderous and racist lies.

It's a pitty that most people don't know the words, conventions and symbols in Islamic speech. Otherwise it would obvious to all what they are writing about and it's not what we call peace...

Does anyone else fnd it strange that of all religions, there is only one that must protest that it is a 'religion of peace'?

Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, and Jews, and even atheists feel no such need. How very odd.
