Rather then telling the Muslims that the Prophet was working in an organised manner to establish the first Islamic State in order to defend against such evils, Dr Musharraf is using the narrative of turning the other cheek and ignoring the remarks made.
Muhammad (peace be upon him) tracked down those who mocked him in Mecca after establishing the state and executed except for one which he pardoned on request of a companion.
However Musharraf states that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stood up for freedoms and human rights which are Western Liberal values alien to Islam as we are bound by the Shariah - so what exactly is his problem with the cartoons? Contradictory statement.
