Egypt: Cartoonist accused of blasphemy for mocking Muslim clerics' call to vote for Sharia constitution as part of path to Paradise

adam_and_eve_doaa.jpg"If you had said ‘yes,’ you wouldn’t have been driven out of paradise. Life is about fortune, father."


The clerics said, Vote yes for the Sharia constitution and you'll be on the way to Paradise. And now even mocking that ludicrous call is, for some, blasphemy in Egypt. "Islamist lawyer accuses Al-Masry Al-Youm cartoonist of blasphemy," from Al-Masry Al-Youm, December 27 (thanks to Twostellas):

An Islamist lawyer alleged that cartoonist Doaa Eladl disparaged Islam for drawing a caricature depicting a man and woman standing next to an apple tree as a third person says to them: “If you had said ‘yes,’ you wouldn’t have been driven out of paradise. Life is about fortune, father.”

Prosecutor General Talaat Abdallah referred an Islamist lawyer’s complaint alleging that a cartoon published in Al-Masry Al-Youm was blasphemous to the North Giza Prosecution Wednesday.

The lawyer alleged that cartoonist Doaa Eladl disparaged Islam with her caricature depicting a man and woman standing next to an apple tree as a third person says to them: “If you had said ‘yes,’ you wouldn’t have been driven out of paradise. Life is about fortune, father.”

The complainant argued that the drawing was blasphemous for likening those who voted “no” in the constitutional referendum to Adam and Eve and implying that voters who accepted the document would enter paradise.

Eladl said that she did not mean to mock Islam, pointing out that the concept was based on sheikhs' calls on satellite channels urging people to approve the Constitution as part of the path toward paradise....

Well, I guess you have to be muslim to make any sense of the cartoon. The theological esoterica escapes me.

The translation is not correct exactly

This is the exact translation :

" if you had said '' yes '' like '' Halati '' have done [ I guess he is ones of whom, accepted the referendum ], you wouldn't had been driven out of paradise, well that is all right,… life is all about chances anyway, oh my father ."

But I do not understand ! … why is the speaker, a fat angle, and he calls Adam '' a father ''

Is the fat angel is supposed to be a representative of an a dead Egyptian Muslim ?! ..

I guess that is funny … but it is a mediocre Joke … and it would A sad joke if the cartoonist pays for with his life for it !

The apostle made for a rock on the mountain to climb it. He had become HEAVY BY REASON OF AGE, and moreover he had put on two coats of mail(1), so when he tried to get up he could not do so. Talha b. 'Ubaydullah squatted beneath him and lifted him up until he settled comfortably upon it.

-Ibn Ishaq

Narrated AbuBarzah:
AbdusSalam ibn AbuHazim AbuTalut said: I saw AbuBarzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me.
When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a DWARF AND FAT. The old man (i.e. AbuBarzah) understood it.
So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioning anything about it? AbuBarzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.

-Adu Duwod 40.4731

The angel is a slyly crafted inference that Muhammad was a fat dwarf?

I wonder what they would think of the Eltahawy bint's nauseating 'poem' !!??
