Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a mercy to mankind, he is indeed a blessing to the humanity and rightfully known as Rahmutul Aalameen. There are innumerable examples of forbearance, forgiveness and kindness of the prophet (pbuh) towards those who insulted and even tried to harm him.
One of the most famous stories, often repeated is about an old lady who threw trash on the prophet every time he passed in front of her door. One day, the trash was not thrown. Concerned, he asked the neighbors and found that she was sick. He knocked on her door to and offered help. Overwhelmed with kindness and love, she chose to become a Muslim.
Once on way to the city of Taif, the Prophet was pelted with rocks by miscreants, his associates wanted to retaliate, even the arch angel Gabriel offered to help bring relief to the situation. The prophet said no, instead he asked God to forgive them, because he was the last messenger. If they are destroyed to whom would he preach? He hoped that if not them, their progeny at will accept the God-sent message to mankind.
He enjoined us that "if any one eats a full meal when his neighbor is hungry or starving, then he is not from among us". He never said 'Muslim neighbor'. He loved humanity and asked Muslims to be role models of charity, kindness, concern and love to all.
What was the need for the Prophet to have endured such painful experiences? It was to guide humanity towards kindness, and shape long term solutions for peaceful communities and the greater good of the society at large. He was committed to mitigating conflicts and nurturing goodwill, indeed he was the ultimate peace maker, the mercy to mankind.
As Muslims we need to keep his message of kindness alive and bring to fruition what he was all about; Rahmutul- Aalameen. Let the mercy and kindness he taught become a blessing to the universe and continue to shower on humanity.
We appeal to the Ulema, thoughtful people and the Government of Pakistan to give life to the examples of the Prophet in representing to Asia Bibi. What would Rahmutul Aalameen have done?
Asia Bibi is not a Muslim and is relegated to menial work that is considered unclean (Napak) by others, who consider themselves to be good Muslims, denied her water from the common source. Is this not a most egregious insult, and the denial of water, the same as denial to sustain life?
First of all he would not have denied Asia Bibi the water of life, indeed in another famous occurrence a person fed water to a thirsty animal and the Prophet had said God will grace the person for that act of kindness. He would have been kind and magnanimous and would probably have us pray for Asia Bibis well being. God loves the forgivers and those who repent.
As Muslims we need to keep his message of kindness alive and bring to fruition what he was all about; Rahmutul- Aalameen. Let the mercy and kindness he taught become a blessing to the universe and continue to shower on humanity.
We owe an apology to Asia Bibi, her family and the Christian community. We should build goodwill in our and their hearts.
We ask the people of Pakistan to seriously debate about the blasphemy laws. The violent silencing of Governor Salman Taseer calls for an immediate need for a discussion on the topic. Islam is about free will and as Muslims we need stand against any oppression towards any human being following in the footsteps of the prophet. Amen!

In humility, we submit this appeal to bring Rahmat (Mercy) and Justice to every human being.

- Addressing Prophet Muhammad, Allah has repeatedly said in Qur'an that Muhammad has been sent as a messenger to educate people about Allah, and not as a warder to rule. If the Prophet could not be a warder to judge people, why are we becoming the warders on Islam? Use of apostasy is nothing more than Pakistan's political vendetta against its minorities. It's time to abolish the blasphemy law. In that sense, and that sense alone, I tender my apologies to Asia Bibi.

- It makes me very sad to realise how the people of my nation have become. How heartless and evil their minds are becoming. My only hope and prayer is that the goodness of some will bring this nation to peace instead of this Unholy war that Islam's so called self proclaimed soldiers are waging. May Allah bring peace to all our people, Christians, Hindus, Jews and Muslims. We must learn to live with each other and to be able to forgive one another. I would like the same consideration by a christian if a muslim makes a mistake or does something stupid.

- Only bad things happens when you take away people's rights, like the right to free speech. Blasphemy and hate-speech may not be very polite, but every individual has the right to blaspheme and engage in hate-speech.
