Nahid Hattar was murdered outside the court where he was facing charges for insulting Islam. In response, if they make any response at all, Western leaders will no doubt say that Nahid Hattar should have been more respectful of Islamic religious beliefs. That is always their response: if Muslims will kill you for doing something, we are told that we shouldn’t do it, and that it is wrong and insulting and offensive to do it. No one ever tells the Muslim killers to stop being irrational, violent bullies.
“Jordan writer in blasphemy case Nahid Hattar killed,” BBC, September 25, 2016:
A Jordanian writer charged with offending Islam after allegedly sharing a satirical cartoon on his Facebook page has been killed.
Nahid Hattar, a Christian, was hit by three bullets outside the court in the capital Amman where he was standing trial, state news agency Petra said.
Mr Hattar’s killer was arrested and police are investigating the killing, TV reports said.
The writer was detained in August for 15 days on charges of insulting God.
The cartoon he shared depicts a bearded man lying in bed with two women and smoking, asking God to bring him a drink.
Mr Hattar was attacked on social media for being anti-Islam.
He said he had not meant to cause offence and wanted to expose radical Islamists’ view of heaven….

Loss of sense of humor: the first sign of brain death in a culture.
Jay Boo says
They are too afraid to admit their angry vengeful Allah is wimp to laugh.
Everyone knows how (‘offensive’) Muslims can be, but their defensiveness over the revelation that their Allah is without power knows no bounds.
Charli Main says
Allah has no powers because there is no Allah. Allah is just a figment of Mad Mohammed of Mecca´s imagination, invented by him to legitimise his criminal activities.
David says
No, there is an “Allah” but his real name is
SATAN ! ! !
SATAN says
Don’t compare me with Allah please,even I am not that evil.
ECAW says
🙂
Glad to see you here Satan. God Almighty drops in from time to time too.
SATAN says
Oh really? How is the old man.we used to be very close back in the day but times have changed.tell him f-you you I’m you meet him.I’ll be off preparing for armegeddon. enjoy yourselfs and be sure to sin as much as you can. Peace.
Oldveteran says
Very true. When I read the Koran I thought what a bunch of contrived crap! Oh that is Crapola.
David jones says
Robert Spence the hateful “Catholic” extremist who knows fuck al about religion.if the fucktard ever read the Bible he would see that the Bible is far more violent that any other “Holy book”.
ECAW says
Not so regarding the Bible… and too moronic a slur against Robert Spencer to bother with.
Jay Boo says
The (ever spiteful) all knowing and powerful 99 named Allah doesn’t even have the ability to defend his dubious honor against a cartoonist pen without outside assistance.
Richard Ong says
Allah apparently controls every blink of your eyes, the shifting of every grain of sand, the wind that blows, the beat of every bird’s wing, the trajectory of every bullet, and the precise path of every electron in every atom in the universe. Why this would amuse him I have no idea. This means that every instance of “blasphemy” is ordain by Allah so it’s hard to understand why he commands blasphemy but then commands Abdul to kill the “blasphemer.”
I’m totally confused.
Don McKellar says
Does it ever even faintly cross the minds of the slaves of Allah that if Allah was real and if he had the powers to create the world and part seas and destroy whole cities and flood the world if he gets mad, that the last thing Allah would need would be some pitiful wretch jihadi to murder some guy who draws a cartoon? How are they able to so completely block out something so obvious illogical from their minds? Clearly Islam drives people insane.
Dennis says
Why does everyone think they must defend an all-powerful being?
Richard Ong says
Excellent point.
Myrtle Linder says
We must respect Muslims, or die, while they never respect us!!!
Gary Mullennix says
No. respect is required. Only submission and full compliance.
Agent Anderson says
Saudi Arabia must be full of one way streets.
Mike says
You’ve noticed that too?, I wish more people had the sense to see that!
ECAW says
Have you heard the old interfaith dialogue joke?
A Jew, a Christian and a Muslim enter into dialogue.
The Jew says I will agree to show respect to Christianity and Islam.
The Christian says I will agree to show respect to Judaism and Islam.
The Muslim says great, so we all agree to respect Islam.
David Pimentel says
Unfortunately, it is not funny, because it’s too similar to reality.
ECAW says
The only funny thing about this decidedly unfunny episode is that the BBC don’t appear to know who the man in bed is. Or perhaps they dare not say.
ECAW says
Damn. Must pay more attention. What could have made me assume it was Mohammed?

ISIS ‘finance chief’ Abu Saleh killed in coalition airstrike – US

Janeatte says
The killer will be in jail for few days then let him go. Muslims they follow sharia not the constitution,follows Mohammad’s order. I think if Islam getting stronger in America , the American will face the same faith of Nahid Hutter, wake up America Vote for Trump.

Lesson Learned:
If you are prosecuted for insulting Islam, don’t take the bait. Don’t show up at the jurisprudes’ court.
Jack Diamond says
“The writer was detained in August for 15 days on charges of insulting God.”
Now that he has been disposed of (the punishment for blasphemy being death and his blood being halal any Muslim can eliminate him and earn Allah’s rewards) ….God will not have to testify at his trial. Whew.
“(he) wanted to expose radical Islamists’ view of heaven….” and yet ordinary not-radical Muslims don’t see the distinction. Because there isn’t one.
t. says
That’s a key point, laying bare the big fat lie that Islamists, jihadists or terrorists have nothing to do with Islam, which unfortunately many in the west are still eager to believe.
A point worth of repeating again and again, Jack!

““(he) wanted to expose radical Islamists’ view of heaven….” and yet ordinary not-radical Muslims don’t see the distinction. Because there isn’t one.”
Good point and absolutely true, Jack!
Paul Clark says
When are Christians going to unite globally and stop this madness. We know the pope will not lead the effort. So, I ask: Where have all the Christians gone? Have they fled the cross? They have the people and recourses to do so. They just have to “pick up their cross” and follow Him.
utis says
This is a global war. Anyone who is not a Muslim is threatened by this totalitarian creed. Christians, Jews, atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Polytheists, we are all on the Muslim hit list. Some of us are suffering now. We or our grand-kids will all suffer eventually. Freedom is always worth fighting for. we can’t trust our leaders or our media; we have to educate and fight back ourselves. As Charlie Hebdo and Mr. Nahid demonstrate, humor terrifies the enemy more than bullets. Until the local police come to your door, keep spinning out the jokes, sarcasms and parodies of this oppressive movement.
For instance, if we keep showing the pictures of the “34th grandson of the Prophet”, maybe some dolts will understand Islam is not a race. Keep resisting.
Jerry says
Muslims’ hypersensitivity to humor and fair criticism is a sure sign of ignorance. As an atheist with a respect for rationality it’s impossible for me to fathom how anything so stupidly evil could be revered as divine revelation. And even the non-violent “good” parts aren’t worth it, not when it comes with so much murder and hatred for humanity. It’s obvious to me islam has little to do with wise teaching and spirituality and everything to do with controlling others through intimidation and murder. And this explains why multiculturalism with muslims isn’t working, because their inhumane “religion” destroys good thinking. We in the west have developed societies based on fundamental principles of fairness, equality, and individual liberty. Islam respects only itself at the expense of everyone else’s freedoms and inalienable rights. Islam’s attitude of superiority is embraced by muslims even though it’s not based on merit, reason, or good morality. It’s simply an appeal to muslims’ perennial desire to dominate others with violence. Such people cannot be trusted in matters of human rights and freedom, because their ideology and natures will always conflict with those principles to the point of murder. I accept that all people and cultures can and do change. But in 1400 years muslims have never fully rejected their god’s doctrine of violence and bigotry. And that is why there’s so much violence in the name of islam today.
That’s why I’m right in speaking against islam and muslims. Their stated goals are opposed to my country and its freedoms, and their mass murder of us proves it. They’re also opposed to our human rights that we all know are vastly superior to anything islam could produce with its contempt for the “infidel.” I’m opposed to muslim immigration because I know that’s what’s best for all concerned. Let them live in spiritual and intellectual darkness for a violent god if they choose. But not in my country, or any country that values intellectual and religious freedom. We have nothing to fear by taking the best course of action that serves our nation and humanity. Not even god would condemn us for that, at least not a god of peace who was rooting for humanity. And the best course of action is…
No more muslims, no more mosques. Not until they rid their culture and religion of the hatred that threatens to destroy us.
John Marst says
Islam is the enemy. There is no other conclusion. We need to start acting like it. The world is separated into Muslims and everyone else. Everyone else better wake up.
Ex-Muslim says
Just a little clarification, this writer didn’tdidn’t draw the cartoon, all he did was sharing it. This the Facebook page of the guy who made the cartoon.

He is an Egyptian ex-Muslim atheist.
Islam deserve nothing but despise
Pal says
Already in the headline, BBC put “blasphemy case” mantra.
I.e., in advance, they blame Nahid Hattar for being guilty, thus deserving his death.
BBC should have Quran and Muhammad beard tucked into their mouth.
Where is the freedom of speech??
Where is the “blasphemy case” of Piss Christ??

The proper would have been
“Jordan writer who “offended Islam” on Facebook MURDERED
compare with the original “Jordan writer in blasphemy case Nahid Hattar killed” which gives the impression that the killing was the logical result of the case.
isabella van der westhuizen says
We Christians must accept the Piss stained Christ painting and Satanists smearing statues of the Holy Virgin with offal but these guys simply kill everyone who they don’t like
Ex-Muslim says
The Muslim murder is an imam who recently returned from Hajj.
The renegade says
Jordan is not a democracy, far from it. If people in western and other democracies can’t critique Islam and it’s “holy” beliefs what chance did a Christian in a Islamic Arab country have of critiquing Islam and living to tell the tale…
Just go about your lives…. if saying things which muslims don’t like will get you killed stay quite till you emigrate to a country where you can exercise freedom of expression and also be safe after the fact….very few countries left now with Muslims mushrooming in every democracy and uprooting democratic values and every ones freedom… even West is not safe to express views freely..
Islamic siege of humanity has begun.
It for all people who love freedom and liberty to resist and defeat Islamic imperialism.
Starting point is for governments to first atleast acknowledge that there is a problem with Islamic ideology….
Although radical Islam is a misnomer as there is no radical Islam but only Islam, but at least starting to use term radical Islam is a good start…. hopefully the start is not too late…
In India, Hindus are rooting for Trump.. political incorrectness is needed more than ever to defeat Islam and kissing Islam’s feet like the Pope did and asking for dialogue is not helping…
Vote for Trump! Let’s make the world great again…

If a Muslim had been killed, the media would erupt worldwide in protest of the intolerance and DANGER of extremists.
Muslims once again are given a moral FREE PASS.
Kepha says
Martin Luther commented on some followers of the Zwickau “prophets” that “they speak to God as if he were a shoemaker’s apprentice”, I’ve been in Pentecostal meetings where they seem to pray, “Our butler and Stepin’ Fetchit which art in Heaven…” I guess this poor Jordanian cartoonist noticed something a bit less than reverent about Old Mo’s view of God.
Angemon says
The bearded man is Abu Saleh, an ISIS financier killed by an US airstrike last year. Why, if ISIS has nothing to with islam, would mocking one of its members fall under “blasphemy”?

Muslims get awfully upset when someone dares point out their emperor has no clothes — let alone should anyone ever have the temerity to admit their emperor doesn’t even exist.

Nahed Hattar: Killed for a Cartoon (David Wood)
Acts17Apologetics
desidude2 says
Unfortunately Nahid Hattar cartoon hit too close to home. the belief in paradise where allah serves the muslim with wine and women is all too real for the majority of muslims. that is the central theme of islam. That is what muhammad taught.

I don’t see what the big deal is I think this kinda funny.
