Moderate Dubai court jails man for insulting Islam on Facebook

May 28, 2015 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

behead-those-who-insult-islam-1They must be moderates, for if they were “extremists,” they would have sentenced him to beheading. In any case, this same “moderation” is coming to the U.S., as authorities of all sorts counsel submission to those who proclaim that they will kill us for what they perceive as insults to Islam. Those authorities mask their submission as “respect” and “prudence,” but it is really just fear and cowardice.

“Man jailed by Dubai court for insulting Islam on Facebook,” by Thaer Zriqat, The National, May 28, 2015:

DUBAI // A man who insulted Islam on Facebook after watching disturbing video footage from Iraq has been jailed for one year by the Dubai Criminal Court.

Prosecutors said that on July 6 last year, 41-year-old Indian SG insulted Islam and the Prophet Mohammed in a post on the social media site.

SG was reported to police by salesman SF after he received a WhatsApp message with a screen shot of the post.

“Once I saw the message, I reported it to police,” said SF, 24.

During interrogations, SG confessed to posting insults after watching the footage. No details were given on the content of the video.

Reports shown in court noted that SG’s mobile phone had the Facebook app which was logged into the same account where the insulting messages were posted.

SG was sentenced to a year in jail followed by deportation.

    “Prophet” Muhammad’s Shariamonster, also known as “Islam,” wants to decapitate our freedom of speech. Muhammad himself had his critics murdered – and Muhammad’s Shariamonster has never ceased to follow his barbaric “Excellent Example.”

    Will Americans stand with the Founding Fathers, who wrote the Bill of Rights for the Land of the Free – or will we stand with the vile “Prophet” Muhammad’s vile Shariamonster which brings oppression and violence wherever it goes?

    Let’s stand with the Founding Fathers – and not with the cowardly idiots who would have us discard our most precious freedom.

    Say “NO” To Muhammad’s Shariamonster, and say “NO” to Islam!

      I think all those hideous Muslim creeps will somehow not get insulted this time and take a pass on this Mohammed cartoon contest. Muslims prefer to prey on women. These cartoon contest folks are armed men (and these bikers don’t look like they will take much Muslim BS). The bikers are only concerned for the safety of nearby residents in case of stray bullets.

    It’s the same “moderate” Dubai who jails women for reporting rape to the police and tries to get them to marry their rapists. Which is actually ironic, because I’ve talked with muslims who swore to me that Christianity was a terrible religion because the Bible reportedly sanctioned rape and forced girls to marry their rapists.

    If “moderate”Muslims were serious about dealing with this, everybody in this photo would be under arrest by now.

    With so many religions and so many skeptics, there is no way courts can restrict speech about religion (for and against) without restricting the right of people to assemble, discuss and publish.

    Without discussion and debate, nothing can be improved. That is the point. By claiming that Islam is perfect, eternal and complete, they must force the entire world to remain in the 7th century.

    Is there any such thing as a moderate fake? If Allah really is god, is it moderate? I tried to find a moderate plumber once, but not one would admit to moderation.
    The last thing you want to do is take your car to a moderate mechanic. There are few Mahounedian moderates because they do not want to explain their ‘moderation’ to Allah, who never has a moderate reaction…

    is really just fear and cowardice.

    The says it all. The moral depravity of the people in Washington on both sides of the aisle who aid and abet this evil ideology is sickening.

    There is no such thing as ‘moderate’ Islam. This is an invention of western poliiticians clutching at straws to cover up the debacle of Muslim immigration into the West. There is only one Islam and if you let it into your country, you take it all.

    Sharia law is fairly standard on all matters. However, the APPLICATION of Sharia can different, leading the impression of being ‘more’ tolerant or ‘more’ moderate. Nevertheless, there is no deviation from Sharia law, but only a degree of difference on policy.

    I despise totalitarianism to the core of my being. The grotesque arrogance it takes to shut down another’s thoughts or words. It’s nauseating. And while I’m really pissed off, this is off topic, but I blame Obama for much of this mess. His rhetoric is always conciliatory towards those who wish to control our words and thoughts instead of defending the FIRST AMENDMENT. Obama has failed miserably in this area. I do not condemn all of Obama’s actions because I’m not well enough informed to understand everything that goes on in politics, but even an idiot can see that he has FAILED our FIRST amendment rights in the World’s Biggest FAIL.

    The problem here is that in a Middle East Primarily, even though so called “Moderate”, Muslim Country, even in Dubai, Islam and Muslims are so “Uptight” , that even QUESTIONING Islam brings a “Blasphemy” Charge.

    Even Muslim Leaders such as Turkey’s PM Erdogan State: The term “moderate Islam” is ugly and offensive — Islam is Islam, and In fact, there is only One Prophet Muhammad, and there is only One Allah, and there is only One Quran, and there is amongst Muslims only One Islam, hence there can be Only One Muslim. A Moderate Muslim is an oxymoron because there is no such thing as a “Moderate Islam”,

    And “Cultural” Muslims State “In fact, there is only One Prophet Muhammad, and there is only One Allah, and there is only One Quran, and there is amongst Muslims only One Islam, hence there can be Only One Muslim. A Moderate Muslim is an oxymoron because there is no such thing as a “Moderate Islam – A Cultural Muslim”.

    Islam and Muslims are always so “Uptight” with ANY Criticism of their so called “Religion of Peace”, which is actually a “Religion of Hate”, and in fact NOT a “Religion” at all, but a a total system of life and contains within itself a particular social system, judicial system, and political system which includes geo-political aspirations – the conquest and administration of territory.

    Islam and Muslims are so “Uptight” that they are even taking Advantage of the “Religious Freedom Laws” of Non-Islamic Free Countries, such as America, that have such laws, in an attempt to Declare their “Cult of Hate” a “Religion”.

    Islam and Muslims are so “Uptight” with ANY Criticism, that Exposes the REAL TRUTH concerning Islam, Muhammed, and the Qur’an, that Muslims are NOW attempting to get World Wide “Blasphemy” Laws enacted with “Criminal Penalties”.
