Egypt: Police arrest man for posting Facebook comments "that were insulting to the Koran and the Prophet Mohammed and Islam and Muslims"

This is the kind of law that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is trying to compel Western states to adopt. The OIC’s campaign, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu emphasized in June 2011, was “a matter of extreme priority for the OIC.” And it has met with a good deal of success. In November 2010, the UN General Assembly voted to condemn what it called the “vilification of religion.” Every majority-Muslim state, without exception, supported the resolution. This wasn’t the first time. The UN has previously passed resolutions condemning the “defamation of religion.” A Reuters report claimed that the language was softened in the November 2010 resolution from “defamation” to “vilification” in order to win more support from Western nations, but these words are essentially synonyms, and both dangerously subjective: if a binding resolution were passed, what constitutes “defamation” or “vilification” would presumably be left up to some UN body, which would mean, essentially, that it would be up to the OIC.

The OIC hopes ultimately to compel Western states to criminalize criticism of “matters regarded by followers of any religion or belief as sacred.” The latest iteration of the UN resolution specifically condemned “Islamophobia, Judeophobia and Christianophobia,” but if anything was a sop to Western nations and their bothersome notions of the freedom of speech, it was the inclusion of the last two. Andres Serrano’s Piss Christ, Chris Ofili’s dung- and pornography-encrusted Holy Virgin Mary, and a thousand anti-Semitic caricatures in the Arabic media vilifying Jews and Judaism in the crudest terms, never gave rise to any calls for United Nations action against “defamation” or “vilification” of religions. The OIC is the driving force behind such resolutions, and its aim is to proscribe “Islamophobia.”

In other words, it wants the U.S. and Europe to adopt Islamic blasphemy laws, such as the one this Facebook commenter fell afoul of in Egypt.

"Egypt police arrest man for Facebook 'Islam insults,'" from AFP, August 21 (thanks to Wimp Boy):

CAIRO (AFP) - Cairo police arrested a man who allegedly 'insulted Islam' in postings on Facebook after they tracked him down through his internet address, state news agency MENA reported on Saturday.

The agency said the 23-year-old, identified only as Ayman Y.M., posted comments 'that were insulting to the Koran and the Prophet Mohammed and Islam and Muslims.' It did not disclose what he allegedly said.

The youth was referred to the prosecution, which may charge him under a law that penalises 'insulting religion.'...

"It did not disclose what he allegedly said."

Perhaps something akin to the truth (about pisslam)?

Greetings:

So, all those passages in the muslim scriptures about Christians and Jews are A-OK ???

No vilification, no defamation there. Just move along.

Between Islam and the First Amendment to the American Constitution there can never be a reconcilability. One knows this or should know it.

Islam and liberty are eternal enemies. The American Constitution and Sharia are eternal enemies. One knows this or should know it. Arguments to the contrary are rooted in either ignorance or mendacity.

I can't think of a worse man to elevate into prophethood. It's a real sign of liberal submission and stupidity to call him "the prophet Muhammad". He is "the false prophet Muhammad"

The Muslims are so cuckoo and crazy from the sun, I think most of them are unaware of how evil Muhammad was. They get the sugar coated version from their Imams plus they never bother to read the Koran. They stay Muslim because their inbred clan and everybody else is Muslim. Plus they self brainwash five times a day. Inbreeding is not good for your IQ

More information on how the Octopus of Islamic Conquest is strangling free speech in the West with its tentacles reaching deep into media and government: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2011/03/organization-of-islamic-conference-oic.html

Islam's strictures on free speech and freedom of religion via Sharia's blasphemy and apostasy laws are a boon to dictators. There's nothing like an ideology that emphasizes power and control when you're out for power and control.

My guess would be that he said something like "I really think it's time to stop trying to kill all the Jews and give peace a chance".

And Hillary Clinton, our supposedly brilliant and role-model-for-all-wymyn-and-gurrlz Secretary of State, wishes to support the OIC's campaign to outlaw villification of religion! Further, if the SecState supports it, the POTUS also does (unless, of course, this administration is so dysfunctionalthat it is pathetic).

I have made a very unsettling discovery. While the Left roars like a lion against everyone it thinks will show it the slightest respect, it cowers in terror before the slightest threat of violence.

Maybe, at the next 9-11 remembrance rally, we'll start singing "We Shall Overcome" before launching into a tirade against the pedophilia, violence, covetousness, and thievery of the so-called "Prophet" Muhammad.

A guy named Muhammad said, "God
Must think it incredibly odd!
The Christians and Jews
Greet my message with boos,
And the Qureish wish me under the sod!"

"Dear Sir, your astonishment's odd,
All flesh must go under the sod!
Your claim to be prophet
Will then lead to Tophet,
Signed, most faithfully, God."

Oh man, these thin skinned hypocrites, they are always feeling insulted when the truth about them and their god Mo/allah is told. What a stupid inferiority complex they have!! No body can help them until they stop reading and practicing Quran's orders to them.

Those who have disgraced humanity are those people and leaders who convert or support sharia and Islam.

And who in their blindness think it normal to support that, which they can neither debate nor Question.

"The lowest score in slavery is not in labor; it is in the self abduction of one's freedom".

"Arab Spring"? Whatever happened to that?

Since Islam defames EVERY other religion on Earth, it should be banned first - by its own desired dictum.

Its time for the UN to be disbanded.
It serves absolutely no beneficial purpose whatsoever.

Is it "insulting Muhammad" when we copy/paste from islamic holy books?
http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2010/05/drawing-muhammad-dessiner-mahomet.html

If there is anything capable of destroying Islam, it's the Internet. It's getting much harder for leaders to keep their people stupid. Knowledge is a cult's worst enemy.

Here's hoping...

The OIC hopes ultimately to compel Western states to criminalize criticism of “matters regarded by followers of any religion or belief as sacred.”

The irony is twofold:

1) There's only one religion that needs criticizing. I'll let you guess which. The need to criticize it is urgent

2) Criticizing it risks direct retaliatory violence, of both the personal kind and the mass murder kind. Theo is the best example of the first kind.

Put another way, there is only one religion that gives great motive to banish all criticism of it.

The screening process used by our gubmint to give power jobs to our ruling elites should work so well screening out the offal. Instead, what we've seen for the last several decades is vitually all the power jobs going to Ivy Leaguers, which has given us a steady procession of dumbass after dumbass, their dumbass mistakes harming the nation.

Hillary is bad meat, Kepha. Hillary is a dumbass, and oh btw she's unaware of that. She's just another side of pompous Ivy League Moron beef in a long, sad procession of the same.

Though their ultimate aims are radically different, the forces that seek to radically transform Western Civilization into their own visions of Utopia have in common their hatred of it. These are the forces of Socialism and Islam. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, thus, as counter-intuitive as it might seem, the two have become fast friends in their common cause of dismantling our social fabric and laws to suit their own purposes. Using similar methods, disaffected minority groups, and women, the two forces are working—oftentimes in tandem—towards change that will prove disastrous and tragic if they are ultimately successful

It's pretty pathetic that Allah and Muhammed must watch their followers flee their Islamic hell-holes to live among The People Of The Book in other Nations just feel the true Liberties and Freedom FOR thought and Freedom FROM thoughts.
CAIR needs to address why those alleged 5'000'000 muslim in the USA refuse to live in Islamic Nations under Sharagh Law if those Countries are so utopic and grant MORE Human Rights than the West does, or that Gaza under Hamas respects females and homosexuals as the Useful-Idiots in the West are now told while on Campus.
One of my Parents served in WW2 from the fall of 1939 after the Nazi's invaded Poland, to October of 1945 once the Imperialist Japanese thugs finally surrendered. They DID NOT serve so the neo-fascists like the Islamic Supremacy thugs could just walk into North America to steal and suppress the Human spirit that was made to be ungirded and free of the yolks of tyranny.

The homophobic/misogynistic/pedophile at the head of islam can drop dead and take his trash with him on the next plane back to any islamic hell-hole they find suitable to match their Fascist rules.
canada is close to getting the Bill C-51 which Robert and Pam should take to Michael Coren or Ezra Levant about for the insane Hate-Speech laws that will apply to any Comment on a Blog that includes the Hyperlink to trueful facts about islam and Muhammed that Muslims can complain about as Blasphemy to islam.
Thanks to that rich-kid/lawyer/liberal/leftists/war-resistor call Pierre Trudeau who wore a Nazi Helmet in canada during WW2 to mock the English and Jews because Hitler wasn't a French problem.....this demi-god had later become Prime Minister of canada with a $1 billion national Debt for canada . Trudeau went on his destruction of canada and pushed Multiculturalism on the Nation as " All Cultures are Equal" , he then told Immigrants that canada was a rich Nation where people could never have to work in their life time as the State paid for everything.
Canada now has islamofascists and islamic Supremacy groups along with Tamil-Tiger thugs and pro-hamas Palestinians thugs that live on Welfare as "Refugees" and even fund the Terrorism back home with this money from the State.
The National debt to keep Trudeau's promises now stands at $566'000'000'000.00 , or about $17'000.00 per person and this does not include Provincial and Municipal debts to total almost $3'000'000'000'000.00 ( yes ...3 Trillion $$$). This is the perfect storm for fascists and supramacy thugs to take power and promise their Utopia and steady Employment with State funded Housing and free Healthy car ( hmmmm,sounds like Cuba or N.Korea).

Today I am still waiting for the USA to elect a President to replace Bush from the 2008 2-term limit, but I see that the current Howdy Doody puppet for the Saudi's and hamas seems bent on causing a Civil War to return to Slavery under a caliphate. This is odd because it may take another White/Christian/Lawyer from a poor background and raised by step-parents in a log cabin to take back the USA by abolishing Slavery as President Lincoln did when the 1857 ruling by Judges and Lawyers tried to expand Slavery to all 13 States in the Union under the guise of "The Law" and Human Rights to own People.

islam in the West will die a sudden death once it's the children of wealthy/white/smug/leftists who have their daughters being raped by 53 year old Imams with no Charges against them because Muhammed did it and Shariah Law approves it and it's "The Law" to Muslims and in the Quran.
Live free or die, respect my freedom or get killed trying to steal it.
Muhammed and Allah are on notice and they know ehere I live if they have any issues, but I doubt this wife-beater/pedophile would dare try to fight a man defending Liberty and the future to be left to his children.

Having chewed the cud over what you said, I had to spit out your spelling 'yolk'..

. .an' while on the subject, that shud read 'girded' and free. .from the yoke of tyranny'.


OK people, time to flood FB with anti-islam info. Expose it for what it is - the worst scourge in human history.

The U.N. felt the anger of crazed Islam in Afghanistan when it had it's workers beheaded after Pastor Jones burnt the Quran, yet still they bow low to Islam as does the closet muslim Hussein Obama. Hitlary Clinton is a freedom hating witch bought & paid for by Saudi oil money.

In the long difficult process of the human race moving towards liberty, freedom and a civil society the First Amendment of the constitution may be the pinnacle of human achievement. They knew at the time, that's why they made number 1, and we need to remember it everyday. We all need to remember as ugly and as nasty as it can be it will be far worse without it. We are on a poorly marked path so we must keep our eyes open and look for then blazes shining in the distance.

"Arab Spring"? Whatever happened to that? --from Tanstaafl

Well it's still there. You see, the Arab spring is simply when the wind changes direction, blowing the sand from left to right instead of from right to left. The desert, however, remains the same.

OK people, time to flood FB with anti-islam info. Expose it for what it is - the worst scourge in human history.

But, CGW, we now know that the truth is the new hate speech. Ain't reel clear on what the old hate speech was, but I know that hate speech law is a new and booming sector in the political economy.

Hillary has been a leader on this, and I don't think a gaggle of mere bloggers like us should be questioning her wisdom and authority.

I'll be one of the first. If they want me they can come and get me..Islam sucks along with is's moohammad. This is a IDEOLOGY and needs to be banned in the USA. It is incompatable with American culture and islam will never assimulate into our culture. Islam is a danger to America and all muslims in our government need to be removed or we will have the same problems as they have in libya and other countries. All muslims are faithful to islam, not America. Come and get me. Islam sucks. The government that takes over will be worse that what it had. Then people will see what obama and islam is up to. There will be no peace in Libya or the world as long as islam remains.

.................................

Certainly, there *are* Muslims who are generally decent people and have *no* idea how vicious the "Prophet" Muhammed was, or how violent the Qur'an is.

And this issue, no doubt, can be a problem for us in the form of Muslims spouting Taqiyya, or simply being ignorant of what Islam calls for, and hence confusing Infidels.

The main issue, though, is that all too many Muslims not only understand the baleful nature of the "ideal man" and the violence Islam calls for, but are *all too willing to act on it*.

The existence of Muslims either with a sugar-coated vision of Islam—or knowingly propagating a fake sugar-coated version—is that it muddies the waters on our facing the true threat of Islam.

Were it not that the phenomenon disarms us, I wish *more* Muslims would receive the sugar-coated version, and so practice the most bowdlerized version of Islam imaginable.

Even the so-called cultural Moslems are a dangerous commodity, like a compound that becomes volatile only when mixed with another, usually the mixture done by an ordnance tech in the field, when it's time, when the action is finally underway.

By their "culture" and by their teachings even the ignorant Moslems are softened up, tenderized meat, with that On/Off switch embedded in their backs, fully wired, ready to be flipped to the On position when the call to Jihad is made to the non-activists among them, the Ummah's silent majority.

Lt. Colonel Allen West should run for Prezident. That was some great clarity rat there in that clip, CGW. Whoa.

Alarmed, I've heard a social democratic lawyer from New York say that Hillary Clinton was utterly corrupt, and that he felt disgraced having her for his Senator.

And, while we're at it, I've come to concur that the Ivy League is not the fountain of learning in the USA, but the purveyor of obscurantism and stupefaction.

Don't worry, Alarmed Pig Farmer—you'll always be the original as far as I'm concerned!

I agree with your comments re Muslims, as well.

Islam doesn't want world peace.


Their instructions are clear.
"Dominate the world and not to make peace"...


Their ideology is simple the world will submit or they will be killed.


This is written in historical books, the Koran, the Hadith, and endorsed by every jihadist from Islams infants to Islams elder clerics.


Their commitment, motivation, funding, and the historical behaiver of Islam is all documented.


There is no need to continue this debate because the facts are documented as stated. Beyond that there is but one truth yesterday, today and tomorrow.


Remove yourself from ignorance, read historical books, and documentation written long ago. Before there were such words as,
Islamophobia,defamation of religion,vilification of religion,criminalize criticism,a thousand anti-Semitic caricatures in the Arabic media vilifying Jews and Judaism in the crudest terms, utterly corrupt,political correctness,and terrorists.

I've come to concur that the Ivy League is not the fountain of learning in the USA, but the purveyor of obscurantism and stupefaction.

The important point being that we have been set on auto-pilot whereby the nation's ruling elite are, by default, Ivy Leaguers. It is they who must populate nearly all the power positions. But the danger is, this way we have a small group of college professors who indirectly, but somehwat directly, control the fate of the nation. What if the professors become, as a group, all confused, fake and obtrusive?

I'd argue against Beach Boys Elitism on the face of it (Be True to Your School, get it?) is wrong, but who cares. Well, for one, I care, cuz we've got a steady stream of elites who are almost invariably corrupt, egregious and very badly mistaken on things gubmental. These comprise the Pantehon of morons mismanaging our lives. These are the Ivy League Morons.

*** 33:21 ***

I've had the opportunity to see Ivy Leaguers gradually be selected down and finally out as they get into their 30s -- Harvard MBAs, MIT computer scientists, Stanford electrical engineers, Yale lawyers -- and that's a good and healthy weeding process. If the dude cain't get the job done, get rid of him, or at least demote him. In bidness they ain't no room for silliness.

But, they're is no lever to pull for quality control on our gubmint execs, except for the national elections every four years. And even then, the succeeding administration's new gubmint execs is the tired cast of discredited Ivy League Morons, who do the same things based on the same discredited Conventional Wisdom. Unhappily for us, these geeks also enjoy safe haven in prestigious law firms, prestigious Wall Street banks, presigious accounting firms and prestigious consulting firms.

*** 33:21 ***

There are Ivy League Survivors, too: Peter Ferrara, Diana West, Thomas Sowell... It stands to reason that a lotta really smart minds go to Ivy League colleges like Georgetown, Columbia and Duke. But there is strong evidence that a lotta dipshits go to these places, too.

Honoring a hiring regimen never debated or voted on is a cute tradition, but given the great damage done, it's time to set a 50 yr moratorium on hiring into gubmint anybody who attended one of these 15 or 20 most prestigious and esteemed seats of higher learning.

We've got serious problems to fix, and pronto. Time to sit the stumble bums to the sideline for 50 yrs or so.

*** 33:21 ***

To wit:

Rep. Barney Frank, Socialist-Mass.
Harvard College, 1962
Harvard Law, 1977

And this dude is fence post dumb. He attempted to overturn the laws of economics and, unsurprisingly, failed miserably, taking all of us down with him.

Barney Frank, Havahd Man. Very impressive. Even better yet, he's a human male homo so he shines with that much more luster.
