A Danish man living in Vienna was sentenced to two years in prison for having compared Islam's prophet Muhammad to a pig on Facebook posts. The 32 year-old, according to a report by the Austrian Press Agency (APA), was sentenced by Judge George Olschak, who called it "a deeply offensive insult to Islam" and "illegal incitement to religious hatred."
The even stricter state prosecutor, Stefanie Schön, said that the sentence "is too lenient" and she would appeal "for a longer period of detention."
The trial is the result of investigations by a fanatic self-described "anti-fascist", Uwe Seiler, who is busy reporting what he considers far-Right propaganda and neo-Nazi rhetoric on the Internet to the police.
The Danish man, who in spite of everything hasn't lost his sense of humor, pointed out that he wrote most of the online messages in his own language, saying: "If I wanted to talk to an Austrian public, I would write in Turkish. Of course, in the past I would have used German."
This is nothing to do with freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteA pig is an intelligent animal, Iftikhar. Unlike you and your pedophile profit….
ReplyDelete@iftikhar:
ReplyDelete"..This is nothing to do with freedom of speech..."
More idiocy from a warped islamic mind. It has EVERYTHNG to do with freedom of speech.
It also has everything to do with the supposed but inherently unquantifiable 'damage' to the 'feelings' of poor butt-hurt muslim self-defned 'victims' who suffer from the fantastic delusion that a 7th century bedouin child marrying murderer somehow helps them in their lives.
Grow a pair, Iftkhar . Why are muslims so insecure with their own individual identities and their connection to their own selves that other people's opinions cause them to 'lose' it to the point of murder of other people???
You can call me whatever you like - it does not affect my identity one iota. How can it?? Isn't it obvious that who you really are has nothing to do with sounds or labels coming from other people???

ReplyDeleteI find Islam to be liberating not oppressive: women are partners.
ReplyDeleteIslam is the first religion which systematically empowered women when women were considered as totally subservient to man. There was no concept of her being an independent entity and enjoying equal right with dignity. We live in a country where women are over-sexualised and sold as 'products' for capitalist gains. A woman's beauty is splashed around everywhere, and she is only judged by that. Islam tells a woman to cover up so that she is not abused as Western women are. Islam provides the security and respect to women community than other religions. The western countries are using the women as an entertainment channels. All the women in the world should think about themselves then decide what is right and what is wrong for them in other religions (than Islam)
Qur’an empowered her and gave equal status. Another important question is what is the difference between Islamic and western feminism or is there any difference at all. If we go by definition of feminism as an ideology of empowerment of women, there is no difference. On the other hand, women had no rights and but won through great deal of struggle and this struggle came to be known as ‘feminism’ i.e. women’s empowerment.
But there are significant differences also between Islamic and western feminism. Islamic feminism is based on certain non-negotiable values i.e. equality with honour and dignity. Freedom has certain Islamic responsibility whereas in the west freedom tends to degenerate into licentiousness, though not in law but certainly in social and cultural practices. In western culture sexual freedom has become a matter of women’s right and sex has become matter of enjoyment and lost its sanctity as an instrument of procreation.
Qur’an does lay down certain strict norms for sexual behavior. Both man woman have right to sexual gratification (a woman has as much right to sexual gratification as man) but within marital frame-work. There is no concept of freedom for extramarital sex in any form. Sex is permissible only with marital framework. Sex, as far as Islam is concerned, is not mere enjoyment but an act for procreations and hence has sanctity.
Also, in western capitalist countries women’s dignity has been compromised and she has been reduced to a commodity to be exploited. Her semi-naked postures and her sexuality is exploited commercially unabashedly. It is totally against the concept of woman’s honour and dignity. Unfortunately western feminists do not consider this as objectionable but accept it as part of woman’s freedom. Some (though not many) even advocate prostitution as woman’s right to earn her bread.
The Holy Quran gives more rights to women than the so called western civilisation. Western Secularism cannot teach Muslims how to treat women. Islam teaches us how to be civilised. Islam is a middle path. Women are even abused in the UK Parliament, which is called the Mother of Parliament. It is not just verbal abuse the female MPs have had to deal with. The tradition of killing women for family honour is a “curse”. Violence against women is a global phenomenon. An Australian Judge failed to jail nine males who admitted gang-raping a 10-year old Aboriginal girl, by saying the victim probably agreed to have sex with them. More than half the babies born to British mothers this year will be outside marriage for the first time since records begins. There is a steady decline in marriage among British couples. Nearly all births to Pakistani mothers are within wedlock.
Islam's view of women is that women are walking sex organs:
ReplyDeleteISLAMIC SCRIPTURE: Al Hadis, Vol. 2, p. 692) Ibn Ma`sud reported from the Messenger of Allah who said:
“A woman is like a private part (sex organ). When she goes out (walking) the devil casts a glance at her (in lust)”
That is why women must wear hijabs, niqabs and burqas etc. Women are seen as sex objects in Islam and if they do not cover their bodies completely they are inviting rape.
When Muslim men die they receive AT LEAST 72 perpetual doe eyed virgins and are given perpetual erections. Who is sex obsessed - Westerners, who don't see women as inviting rape, where women can dress as we please or Muslim women who are required to have sex with their husbands (marital rape) and must be covered from head to toe and who are legally worth half as much as a man -because Muhammad, in circular reasoning, using the argument that women are worth half as much in law as a man proves that women are stupid (which makes HIM stupid!), considered women to be stupid? How can feminism exist in Islam?
Women are sex-objects in Islam. Women have no rights. Women are considered stupid.
Women in pagan Mecca were better off than under Muhammad's religion of "submission" because they were allowed to run their own businesses and at least men weren't allowed to have sex with pre-pubescent girls as Ayisha was. Ayisha was still playing with her dolls and dolls are forbidden to girls in Islam once they reach puberty so she was pre-pubescent when Mohammad came for her - unexpectedly, while she was playing on a swing.with her dolls at nine years old (that's in the lunar calendar - even younger by a regular calendar) to consummate his marriage to her at six or seven years old (by the lunar calendar, actually younger1). And Muhammad is the perfect man? You have got to be kidding if you think any feminist would want to live under Islam!
The only women who want to live under Islam are those who are but mere crud on the sole of a man's shoe! I have utter contempt for them. They are not feminists. The term "Islamic feminist" is an oxymoron. It is nonsensical. All else is taqiyya!
Who cares for the "feminists". Youre right, there is no such thing as "Islamic Feminist"
ReplyDeleteGo to hell forever you infidel lady!
Western women "do not need clothes". All of you can just walk "stark naked" in the public!
