Dear CNN Producer
Friday night, November 22, you brought a woman to your show from the planned beauty pageant in Nigeria. CNN reported that she was the woman who was referred to by a Nigerian newspaperman as the one the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would have liked to marry if he had been alive today. How do you think a Mormon should react when told that his prophet Joseph Smith would have liked to marry one of these participants if he had been alive today? Or a Catholic being told that the Pope would be a good candidate for marriage with one of the pageant participants? The insult to muslim is much greater for it is the kind that would create a greater outrage and the newspaper knew it.
Is it possible that you are unaware of the hurt such reporting produces
among your Muslim audiences? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) is the
most sacred personality for more than a billion Muslims around the world. His
wives are referred to in the Qur'an as the Mothers of the Believers. No
Muslim worth the name can tolerate an insult aimed at the family of the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
These women in beauty pageants, who take off most of their clothes and
>make exhibits of themselves in public, are not worthy of admiration by any
>Muslim. Most Muslims think of them as sluts even though they might not be actual prostitutes. Beauty pageants are seen as an abuse or an exploitation and commercialization
>of women. I am sure you know all this.
>For you to bring a scantily clad woman to your screen and then to
>associate her with the name of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a sacrilege you
>have committed against Islam and Muslims and to add insult to injury you do it in the month of Ramadan when religious sensitivities are at their highest.
>Even a pious, Islamic woman is not to be compared to the wives of the
>Prophet (pbuh) without causing serious hurt to Muslim sensibilities.
>I wonder if you realize how much damage you are doing to the relationship
>between the U.S. and the world of Islam. Could this a deliberate effort on your
>part or are you (incredibly) ignorant of the values cherished by the Muslim
>world? Your constant support for Israeli outrages against Palestinians and
>your ongoing attempt to empathize with the Zionist occupiers of Palestine
>create the impression that you are deliberately insulting the most sacred
>personalities of Islam.
>You owe your Muslim viewers an apology. I respectfully request that you extend
>such an apology.
>Sincerely
>Robert Solano, J.D.
