“Somebody took Sujan’s phone and posted something on Facebook. My husband can’t post such a thing on Facebook as he knows its consequences.”
Think about that. “He knows its consequences.” He knows that if he utters a critical word about Islam, he could be brutalized and even killed.
“Rights organisation Ain o Salish Kendra in two letters urged the deputy commissioner and the superintendent of police in Joypurhat to take effective measures for the safety of Sujan’s family.”
This is because his family also could be brutalized and even killed by Muslim mobs, just because of the accusation.
We, on the other hand, live in a free society. If you utter a critical word here about jihad terror or Sharia oppression, you are not likely to be brutalized or killed, although it could happen (cf. the Garland jihad attack). However, you will be vilified as a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, and shunned by all decent people. We are, you see, much more enlightened.
“Vendor held for ‘insulting Islam,’’” Daily Star, February 3, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):
A roadside vendor in Joypurhat was arrested on Wednesday night for allegedly posting a photo “insulting Islam” on Facebook.
Sujan Mohanta, 37, of Panchbibi municipality was arrested around 11:30pm. Panchbibi Police Station’s Sub-inspector Zafar filed a case against him under the ICT Act….
The incident sparked tension in the area with some 50 people demonstrating in the municipality headquarters yesterday afternoon. Additional police were deployed at Sujan’s home, Hindu temples and mosques in the area, police said.
Sujan’s family believed he is innocent. They also said they were living in fear of attacks.
“Somebody took Sujan’s phone and posted something on Facebook. My husband can’t post such a thing on Facebook as he knows its consequences. Besides, he was too busy with celebrating Saraswati Puja,” said Sujan’s wife Boby Mohanta.
