Where did this 55-year-old editor of a book on Islam get the crazy idea that a book on Islam should call for suppressing human rights and freedoms? Was he in contact with Zaid Abdul Rahman or Mohammad Javad Larijani, or did he come to misunderstand the Religion of Peace and Tolerance on his own? Note also that Muslims in Prague, including Indonesian diplomats, are angered that the raid disrupted Friday prayers. Whether they are likewise indignant over the Twisting and Hijacking of their Peaceful Faith that this book represents is not recorded.
“Unnamed 55 year old faces up to 10 years in prison over translation of controversial book,” Czech News Agency, April 26, 2014:
Prague, April 26 (ČTK) — The Czech police have accused the editor of a book on Islam of promoting a movement suppressing human rights and freedoms after a raid in two Prague centers of the Islamic Foundation on Friday, Pavel Hanták, spokesman for the police unit fighting organized crime (ÚOOZ), told CTK today.
The suspect is a 55-year-old man who has Czech citizenship. He had the controversial book translated to Czech and he provided for its publishing and distribution.
he [sic] man may end up in prison for up to 10 years.
Within the raid, about 20 people were questioned and several of them may be expelled from the country.
Hanták said the police decided not to release the name of the book because they do not want to advertise it in this way.
The book allegedly spreads racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and violence against “inferior” races, he said.
The police stayed in the premises of the Islamic Foundation from Friday to Saturday morning. On Friday, they interfered in a mosque on the city’s outskirts and in the office and prayer room in the city center.Hanták dismissed the information of some media that weapons and explosives were revealed in the Islamic Foundation.
The police may have interfered in the mosques over the book called The Bases of Tauhid – the Islamic concept of God.
Former Muslim Lukáš Lhoťan told ČTK on Friday that he has recently filed a complaint over the book. He said it contains extreme Muslim opinions and that it was published by the Center of Muslim Communities in the Czech Republic together with the Islamic Foundation.
According to witnesses, the police action frustrated the main prayer on Friday, which has a special importance for the Muslims and for which they meet in the mosque. Indonesian diplomats who were among those present complained about the police action.
