Sharia in action in Egypt: Newspaper editor accused of defaming Islam and ridiculing the Qur'an and Sharia

Sharia descends upon Egypt -- and remember, this is the kind of law that Islamic supremacists and their Leftist allies want to force upon America. With a president in the White House who has shown that he is no friend of the freedom of speech (cf. his support for UN Resolution 16/18), they have a shot.

"Prosecutor general investigates 'defamation of Islam' charges against Eissa," from the Egypt Independent, January 19:

Prosecutor General Talat Abdallah will investigate a report accusing Al-Tahrir newspaper Editor-in-Chief Ibrahim Eissa of defaming Islam and ridiculing the Quran and Sharia.

The complaint was filed by a lawyer, who also handed over videos of Issa allegedly mocking Islam and its rituals on his satellite show.

Another video allegedly shows Issa sarcastically saying that if someone pickpockets a wallet their hand will be cut according to Sharia, but if they steal LE2 billion from the bank their hand won’t be cut off, while the audience laughs and claps. The complaint claims that his comments ridicule Sharia.

Eissa is one of the most prominent journalists opposing President Mohamed Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood. He had been sentenced to jail in the era of former President Hosni Mubarak on charges of spreading false news about his health, but Mubarak issued a presidential pardon for him.

..."a report accusing Al-Tahrir newspaper Editor-in-Chief Ibrahim Eissa of defaming Islam and ridiculing the Quran and Sharia."

In other words he spoke the *TRUTH* about evil islam, the unholy quran, and the sharia sham ...

Oh no, we can't have that, right?

With regards to what is happening in Egypt at present,Nonie Darwish hit the nail on the head in this article some time back:

"Once Islam takes hold of a nation, the turmoil never ends -- between human nature, which aspires for freedom and dignity, and forces of domination and oppression, which see and understand nothing in the political life of a country other than enforcing Sharia law on others.

During the last 1400 years of Islamic domination, Egyptians discarded their past and adopted the culture of Arabia through the process of Arabization and Islamization. Islamists in Egypt and in any other country, for that matter, understand that for their country to remain Islamic, it must be ruled from the top down by Sharia. Muslim leadership has no confidence that Islam would survive without government enforcement through fear, intimidation and harsh punishments. Without government control and enforcement by means of a tyrannical legal system, Islamist leaders believe that the religion cannot survive through choice. That is why, wherever Islam travels, the goal is always to control government."

… The issue to be discussed today by the wisemen is how "16/18" will be implemented. We will discuss THE SANCTIONS FROM THE VIEW OF INTERNATIONAL LAW...what would happen when arrogant(?) cartoons get drawn or a movie gets shot," Ihsanoglu said. …

"Once Islam takes hold of a nation, the turmoil never ends -- between human nature, which aspires for freedom and dignity, and forces of domination and oppression, which see and understand nothing...

This is a root cause of cognitive dissonance in the pious Mahoundian...If inner spiritual struggle jihad means anything, it would be to
overcome those opposites...But it can't be done because while opposites attract, they do not merge...'You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear', so the struggler is defeated before he gets started...That must hurt a lot, no wonder Mahoundians are so...sensitive...

I wonder how Ibrahim Eissa was "defaming Islam".
Perhaps he was "guilty" of exposing these hilarious hadith:

http://councilofexmuslims.com/index.php?topic=4724.0

Muslims are actually ashamed of their own texts.I remember reading an article some time ago by Ali Sina saying that Islam was like a pack of cards waiting to collapse..all that is required is the wind of truth to blow it away.

It is obvious how you defeat Islam..you just repeat those parts of the Quran and hadith which shame muslims. How about organising a peaceful rally IN SILENCE with banners simply showing these hilarious hadith? This will have the dual purpose of not only exposing Islam's more ridiculous elements, but being educational as well.How about it SIOA/SION?

How could this be construed as "anti-muslim"(which they will claim) if you're merely quoting Islamic texts? Are they so ashamed of their own "religion"?

Over to you, Robert.......

Rasool Obama was just crowned as the Reincarnated King of Babylon...And he said...

'The future must not belong to those who insult the Prophet of Islam'...

That's a significant remark coming from a Babylonian...The sharia death penalty for blasphemy makes sure the future does not belong to the blasphemer...Ibrahim Eissa is in a bad way because the Babylonian King Rasool has already blessed sharia...
