Dubai Courts“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” — Barack Obama, September 25, 2012

“Indian charged in UAE with ‘insulting Islam,'” IANS, April 14, 2015:

Dubai, April 14 (IANS): An Indian man has been charged in a UAE court for allegedly posting on a social networking site comments that insult Islam, a media report said on Tuesday.

The 41-year-old Indian was charged in the Court of First Instance in Dubai for allegedly making the insults through his conversations and posts on Facebook, Khaleej Times reported.

The Indian made the comments last year after watching a video clip about the violence in Iraq.

The police were informed about the incident by another Indian man, who said in his complaint that he received a message on his phone on July 6 last year that said “there was a post on Facebook that insulted Islam”.

The public prosecution said the defendant’s mobile phone was seized and sent to the criminal lab and that his conversations showed there was indeed an insult to Islam.

        Criticizing violence in Iraq…everyone criticizes violence in Iraq. Everyone in the West believes all sides are probably equally uncivilized.

    Islam is like a tapeworm that creeps inside and feeds as long as it can, until it is hopefully eventually pooped out down the toilet bowl where it belongs.

    “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

    aaahhh.. Actually Mr. President the future belongs to Jesus. Muhammad holds no power as a prophet. Nor should he be worshiped as such…..

    “And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
    Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”
    “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

    …..Jesus Circa 33 A.D.

    Revelation 22:10-13

    The UAE thought police are busy. It’s only business as usual. He will likely be flogged or tortured and sent back to India.

    Issa bin Zayed Al Nayhan illustrated sustinctly that sadism is inherent in UAE Islam. He was exhonerated though there was a tape of him torturing a man over a missing commodity shipment for 45 minutes and then running him over with a SUV. Look him up on wiki and youtube.

    The UAE is headed by a group of paranoid Royals, outnumbered 5.5:1 by foreign workers from about 100 countries. Sharia is imposed on everyone, much like Saudi Arabia, with the same(insane) butchering, stoning, and beating allowed by the Quran and Hadiths.

    Will some moderate Muslim please speak up and explain why SA is allowed to control the Kabba if their brand of Sharia is so wrong? How about the scholar Mufti from Egypt’s Al-Ahzar University who says SA is so backwards they still believe the world is flat? Does Egypt’s Grand Mufti have the “correct” version of Islam?

    Where is this cohesion of the Ummah’s leadership or are they just collecting the gravy that comes with the bureaucracy of dissention?

    Peace requires unity. Is Islam getting any closer to the peace it promised?

    “From the mind of a mad man to the minds of men made mad” seems a more accurate legacy of Islam.

    Egypt’s President El-Sisi: “This umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost – and it is being lost by our own hands,”

      That he will be flogged and deported should be a great relief to the Indian offender.
      If he was in Pakistan, judging from recent similar events, it could be,death by lynching.

    The. Indian (Hindu ) expatriates. Flock like locusts to the Middle East to earn their living. They seem grossly unaware that they are in he dragon’s den. When questioned they seem grossly unaware of the content of Koranic teaching and its attitude to polytheists. They are simpletons in this respect.

    The Indian Muslims are prioritised as expatriate workers and are pumped so full of Islamic bombast that when they return to Mother India they are militarised and radicalised to act as sleepers until they drop their bombshell!

    I wager that the person being thus accused is a foolish bolt headed Indian Hindu. I also bet that the informer in his Indian muslim “brother” !

    Islam’s existence is an insult on intelligence.

    India has had almost complete freedom of speech since 2014. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India on Monday 3 March 2014, dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) by Advocate M L Sharma seeking intervention by the court in directing the Election Commission to curb hate speeches. Dismissing the plea, the Apex court said that it could not curb the fundamental right of the people to express themselves.

    A bench headed by Justice RM Lodha said, “We cannot curtail fundamental rights of people. It is a precious right guaranteed by Constitution,” adding, “we are a mature democracy and it is for the public to decide. We are 1280 million people and there would be 1280 million views. One is free not to accept the view of others”. Also the court said that it is a matter of perception, and a statement objectionable to a person might not be normal to other person.
