Blasphemy laws are encoded in the Sharia, which Muslims consider to be divine law. If a government does not impose a death sentence for blasphemy, an individual Muslim might decide to step in as judge and executioner, if he believes that in doing so, he is serving and protecting the name of Allah.
(Quran 6:93) – “Who can be more wicked than one who invent a lie against Allah?” If the death penalty is prescribed for lesser crime, then it stands to reason that it should be imposed for the most “wicked”.
One unfortunate atheist in India has been “executed” for blasphemy by a group of Muslims in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, a predominately Hindu state with about 15 times as many Hindus as Muslims:
Farook was administering a WhatsApp group where he posted rationalistic views against his religion. He also posted rationalistic messages on his Facebook page which came in for criticism by members of the community.
For this, Farook was hacked to death by a “four-member gang.”
“Tamil Nadu man hacked to death over atheistic FB posts”, Times of India, March 18, 2017:
COIMBATORE: H Farook, 31, from Bilal Estate in South Ukkadam here, was hacked to death by a four-member gang, late Thursday night. He was a member of Dravidar Viduthalai Kazhagam (DVK), and an atheist. According to police, Farook was administering a WhatsApp group where he posted rationalistic views against his religion. He also posted rationalistic messages on his Facebook page which came in for criticism by members of the community.
Meanwhile, Ansath, 30, a Muslim realtor, surrendered before the judicial magistrate court -V on Friday evening in connection with the murder.
“Farook’s anti-Muslim sentiments had angered people…..

India: Muslims hack man to death for atheist post on Facebook
………………………….
This *poor man*.
And this did not happen in a Muslim country, or even in a predominantly Muslim part of India.
And yes, Farook was almost certainly a Muslim apostate–whom pious Muslims consider fair game for murder even if they do not air their apostasy publicly.
The only hope is that the murderers will actually be prosecuted, which seldom happens in Dar-al-Islam itself.

Blasphemy in Iran is called: Moharebeh ba Khoda, which means war against god(Allah). If you get convicted of this you are f….d. m

Yes, I know this, miriam–thanks.
Many Infidels assume that “war” only means physically fighting Muslims. But–as you note–*any* criticism or even questioning of Islam is considered “warring against Allah”. Really, just refusing to submit to Islam is enough.
That is why the non-Muslim world is designated Dar-al-Harb, or the “House of War”.
Aniruddha says
If it was a Hindu who was killed by these fanatics instead of a Muslim called Farooq, then we would have taught these guys a lesson they would never forget. They tried it in Mumbai and Gujarat. We hit back so hard despite their AK 47s and bombs that they went running to the UN. We have learnt our lessons. We are prepared.
gravenimage says
Aniruddha, Muslims killed 166 people in the Mumbai Jihad attacks.
There was increased security after the attacks, and many candle vigils, but for good or ill there was no backlash as you would have us believe.
Moreover, your implication that Hindus should not care if Muslims are hacking Atheists to death is very concerning. Even if you care nothing about this poor man himself, you should know that if Muslims get away with murdering *anyone* that it will only embolden them to victimize others–including Hindus.
Aniruddha says
No, I didn’t mean that. All I meant is that Muslims will kill if you let them do so. Now they are afraid to take on Hindus, except in Kashmir where they committed genocide while the world looked the other way. As did India, of course. As far as emboldening them is concerned, they are essentially cowards who look for soft targets, and these poor apostates from Islam are probably the softest.
DJ says
And one of them was an Anglo-Cypriot friend of mine.
I will not forget.
Cicero says
Yes the Greeks and the Greek Cypriots know first hand the the tortures of the Islamic yoke.
We need to build alliances with them – actively…….
PRCS says
So, as it relates to Muslim migrants/refugees/asylum seekers:
What questions should be asked of them–before entry into the U.S.?
I suggest using questions which leave them no wiggle room to parse their answer:
Part one. Where on the planet is the amputation of a thief’s hand morally acceptable to you? Should the individual list even one country, the application should be roundfiled. If the answer is none, proceed to the next part.
Part two. As you disagree with Allah’s command to amputate a thief’s hand, is Allah wrong?

How about lie detector tests for all who are being vetted?
Dennis says
Brave Farook, you paid for your beliefs with your life. May your sacrifice be remembered. I live India, but as a foreigner my agnosticism is tolerated. In Delhi I have met several Muslims who are atheists, agnostics or sceptics but do not come out as Farook did. It is very sad, this incident
C T says
Most leftists I know greatly value their freedom to criticize Christian sects. Don’t they see that the same freedom needs to be available to them with respect to ANY sect of any religious tradition?
maghan says
If one is an atheist one is logically and “ex-Muslim”. Any Muslim must necessarily believe that “Allah exists and Muhammad is his messenger”.
Angemon says
Those anti-anti-muslim sentiments anger me. How should I handle it?
Shmooviyet says
@Angemon quoted: “Farook’s anti-Muslim sentiments had angered people”.
Right– they were angry/hurt/insulted/annoyed, and we can’t have that.
US infidel says
Better not come on this site .On herevthere is all kind of talk about the flase propher muhamed. And his vile lifestyle and his idiotic followers. Muslem men are boylovets who hate women.were abused and like a dick up their ass. Sick pedophiles. Come after me muslime .be the worst day in you sick life.
mortimer says
Western Marxist atheists and agnostics have NO IDEA how much they are at risk from a SHARIA DEATH SENTENCE.
Western Leftards have NO IDEA that their murders will be COMMON under Sharia. They are promoting an ideology that calls for their deaths.
That’s counter-intuitive.
mousey says
right. megalomania. I’m not even sure they think they’ll only temporarily use violence-lovers to destroy western culture and then be able to reign everyone in to a new communism. Maybe they think that, or maybe some of them just want to revel in knowing they destroyed everything good. Soros sees U.S. as a “closed” system, and “when our aim was to break open a closed system, we supported the iconoclasts”. Building is very boring compared to destroying, he says. Milton Friedman quoted a russian dissident mathematician who said socialism is a death wish, and milton said the position is very disturbing because there’s a lot of sense to it.
abad says
Islam is the most violent religion to ever exist on earth. It really is. And its followers are equally violent.
Joe says
Islam is blasphemy. Its system of rewarding with virgins makes God a pimp. Allah is all about murder, rape, and hate. If calling God Allah is not blasphemy, then blasphemy has no meaning.
FYI says
And the thing is that it is always,always, “holy men” who decide what is blasphemy.
If there was a court case and I was accused of blasphemy then I would suggest to the “holy men” using a Socratic approach to ask the injured party to appear in court ..
And if he feels he was insulted I would be most happy to apologize ..
So…
I call God Himself for His Opinion as a witness.
If I have offended God then allow me to apologize.
Then I would suggest that we all pray sincerely and with humility for God’s wisdom.
(..by now the “holy men” will most likely be enraged and will probably want to kill me,desperately looking for something in e.g sharia law or whatever falsehoods they can use to murder me..proving themselves to be evil!)
Then I must ask the question..
Does God Himself agree that He has been blasphemed?Yes or No?
What does God Himself say?(I’m all ears)
{Silence}
Of course the “holy men” cannot possibly answer this without exposing themselves to be frauds:they don’t truly speak for God..they don’t know.
So that means that there is NO PROOF that God Himself has been offended.Maybe the “holy men” feel offended but that does not mean that God Himself is offended!God has said nothing.After all,only God Himself and no “holy man” really has the right to judge :Has God Himself spoken to say He has been insulted?Where is the proof?What is God’s actual opinion?(I’m all ears,holy men).
Without knowing whether or not God has actually been offended, their human bias excludes them from the right to make a correct judgement.
That’s why “holy men” hide behind man-made religious rules.
They pretend to represent God.
They like to act as Judge,Jury and Executioner.
Jesus Christ spoke with the Holy Spirit,,and remember that He was accused of blasphemy by “holy men” using falsified arguments.That is how God’s True prophets were treated as well.It is always a mob of “holy men” who don’t get the irony of the fact that what they are doing and how they behave actually makes them enemies of God.Innocent people are killed by such “holy men”.Socrates,incidentally, was one of those men.
Of course such appeals to reason would be lost on these “holy men”.
I would suggest that by kiiling an innocent man they commit murder which they may believe to be permitted by allah but which is in fact condemned by Almighty God in His Sixth commandment.
Carolyne says
You wouldn’t last past the first sentence. If these idiots had any logical thinking, they wouldn’t be Muslims.

Today, India. Tomorrow — if the West caters to sharia — Pennsylvania, Maine, California, …
mach37 says
S 9:14 is my ‘favorite’ verse for giving the common Muslim authority to swing his sword as Allah’s punisher:
‘Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers. [Ali]’

SREENIVASAN IYENGAR says
Though in terms numerically those in Tamil-nadu are considered as “Hindus” ,but their practice is very much different from the rest of the state.ELements of tamil dravidism,which was spread by THE LATE PERIYAR E V RAMASAMY IDEOLOGY IS very much pervalent. You can say there is large number of “athesist” ,as well as thouse who adhere to “communist” ideology and those who worship murgan and amma dieties,but still share some of the core “periyar ” belief…….If you break down from within Hindu faith….they will be even lesser hindus….same thing goes for kerala….where there is large chunk of muslims christains,communist and athesist……if actual numbers are displayed hindus….will be even lesser…but the constituation states anybody who by “birth” even if he or she is not practising hindu…will be still be classified as HINDU…………..
This form of reaction will be the same in the north area of india…if someone was found to have insulted their religion…….THEY HAVE EVEN HACKED TO DEATH LEGITIMATE TRADERS OF BEEF……..SO nothing new……
