Moderate Turkey: Twitter user jailed for blasphemy after tweeting as “Allah”

Jul 14, 2014 9:19 am By Robert Spencer

twitterblockRapidly re-Islamizing Turkey is adopting Sharia blasphemy laws; hence the 15-month jail term for Ertan P. Blasphemy penalties are likely to be strengthened in the future. What people in the West don’t realize is that there is a concerted effort to bring such penalties to free nations. The entire “Islamophobia” initiative is a large-scale attempt to silence and destroy anyone and everyone who dares to criticize jihad violence and Islamic supremacism; if it succeeds, the West will have effectively adopted these same blasphemy laws.

“Turkish Twitter user jailed for blasphemy,” AFP, July 14, 2014:

Istanbul: A Turkish court on Thursday handed a 15-month jail term to a teacher over Twitter posts deemed religiously offensive, local media reported on Thursday.

The court in the eastern city of Mus ruled that the man, identified as Ertan P., insulted Islamic values with his Twitter handle — @allah (cc) — and a series of tweets he posted, the Hurriyet newspaper reported on its website.

The defendant claimed his account had been hacked and appealed against the sentence, Hurriyet said.

Pretending to tweet as God, he wrote: “In my present state of mind, I would not have created the little finger of human beings”.

“Here [heaven] is very safe because there is no police,” he tweeted in reference to the police crackdown on protesters during the mass anti-government demonstrations in June last year.

The Islamic-rooted government banned Twitter in March after corruption allegations against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his inner circle surfaced on the micro-blogging site.

The ban, which earned Turkey a strong rebuke from rights groups and its Western allies, was lifted two weeks later after the country’s top court ruled that it violated rights.

Citing the same reason, the Constitutional Court on Thursday lifted a similar ban on Youtube, also imposed in March after the website was used to spread damaging leaked audio files from a state security meeting debating possible military action in Syria.

    My favorite hilariously asinine quote from a Muslim taqiyyah master, Sheikh Faiz al-Aqtab Siddiqui:
    “Terrorism,” he said, “is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well.”

    Because, well, hell. Because he said so. And up is down, down is up, good is evil, evil is good, pigs fly to the moon on wings of green cheese.

    Reverse whatever Muslims say about Islam and their motives to the exact opposite, and you’ll get closer to the truth.

    The past few years in the U.S., here are reports of the status on free speech rights still existing for American citizens, but also how the Islamic PR machine has been trying to erase constitutional free speech protections that allow us freely to mock, deride, criticize, complain about, compare — unfavorably to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, humanism, agnosticism, atheism and the vast majority of the world’s other ideologies that are not Islam — disparage and otherwise tell the truth about evil Islam, the vile Quran and the hateful Hadiths:

    http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/curses-blasphemy-profanity-laws-still-on-the-books
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law [generally around the world — it may not be updated to reflect the recent pro-Islam prosecutions outside the U.S.]

    I rather enjoy the online writer who said, at this link, http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/024-hell-and-hate.htm , as his summary:
    “Even though the practice of manufacturing Islam began with Muhammad, there are reasons why this military leader chose to say so very little about universal love and brotherhood, yet so very much about killing and eternal doom.”

    Gotta love the U.S. Constitution and how it frees us to tell the truth about evil ideologies like Hitler’s Fascism and Mo/Allah’s Islamofascism.

    More the reason we might expect some Islamic “extremist” terrorism and Muslim thug boots on the U.S. ground in some bizarrely well-orchestrated effort(s) to instill fear in Americans’ hearts about those easily offended “militants” so the “moderates” can shut us up that way.

    But more and more of us may be joining the Patrick Henry camp: “Give me liberty or give me death.” As much as I love living, life under Islam, especially for a non-oligarchic woman who is a Jew or Christian, would be a fate worse than death.

    For me, facing the truth in this fallen world, it really does help to pray and get wrapped up in the love of Jesus, blanketed with the Holy Spirit, held close by Abba Father. Thank God for the U.S. freedom of speech and freedom of (and from) religion which the demonic Allah would take away if he could.

    “Terrorism,” he said, “is not just people who kill human bodies, but who kill human feelings as well.”

    It sounds to me as if he’s attempting to paraphrase the Bible verse about not fearing those who can kill the body, but those who can kill the soul.

    More mohamedan plaigerism.

    It isn’t so long ago that he would have been prosecuted in the UK if he’d called himself God too!

    “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain (KJV), (also “You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God”

    The Jews thought the name of God so holy that their scribes having written it broke their quills so that they would not sin.

    This is not just part of Islam it was part of all three religions before the Fascists destroyed our culture in Europe
