We are much more enlightened in the West. We believe in the freedom of speech. Those who criticize the Qur’an aren’t arrested. They’re just smeared as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people.
“Narayanganj man held for posting images defaming Quran on Facebook,” Dhaka Tribune, January 13, 2018:
A man has been detained in Sonargaon, Narayanganj for reportedly posting on Facebook several photos defaming the Quran.
Hasan-ul-Islam, 28, of East Delpara at Fatulla, was picked up from Meghnaghat area on Friday night, said Narayanganj’s Additional Superintendent of Police Md Sharfuddin.
According to police, Hasan posted the photos on the social networking site on January 7 which went viral soon, causing stir on social media, and created tension among the locals.
After the Jummah prayers Friday, the Muslim community of the area had demonstrated demanding his arrest and punishment. Hasan had fled from home following the protests.
His brother Hedayet Islam was also detained in the afternoon and Hasan was later caught from Meghnaghat, police said….

Bangladesh: Man arrested for posting images criticizing Qur’an on Facebook
…………………..
I guess this poor guy is “lucky” he wasn’t just murdered as so many Atheists in Bangladesh have been.
Goutam says
If not for absolute intolerance and grotesque violence, Islam would have collapsed a long time ago, because no one with a modicum of human sense can accept such Satanic doctrine.
All the more reason for Islamofascists to continue in their bloodthirsty ways, as they know the moment they accept the voice of reasoning and compassion, the death cult will collapse like a house of cards.
t says
Absolutely true, Goutam!
LeftisruiningCanada says
A house made from tarot cards. But only the ones for death and satan and ritual sacrifices etc.
elee says
What graven image said above. And now that the government has flagged this guy, he’d better relocate. Muslim governments—-think say Pakistan—-are of course deeply interpenetrated with Muslim thugs. Oh and the preferred method of jihad in Bangladesh is dismemberment with machetes on the public street. I guess the good Muslims there agree with this, apparently they just walk by and go about their business. Oh and I guess they consider their “civilization” and “culture” “superior,” look what it’s done for Bangladesh.

I hope he can get out of Bangladesh. He is not safe while he is there.
Champ says
Well, the fact of the matter is, the unholy quran is nothing more than a manual for murder–plain and simple.
And feel free to call me a racist and a bigoted “islamophobe”, if it makes you feel better, but it doesn’t change the FACTS about the unholy quran.
Andy says
Hi Champ
You racist, bigoted “islamophobe” . Oh, I’m glad I got that off my chest!!
Now if the world can get islam off it’s back!!! The Bible has a “New Testament” It is time for a “New Koran” -Reform Islam.
Cheers!

Champ says
Hi Andy,
Hey I’m so glad that you got that off your chest, lol!
And I am of the opinion that islam CANNOT be reformed, so I would never propose a new quran because you can’t take muhammad and sharia out of islam. Both are evil to the core.
Take care.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Starting to agree with this position too.
Mohammad needs reforming before anything else can, and he’s perfect so not exactly open to be improved.
There was an interview posted up on here a little while back with some imam going on about his plan to reform islam. His best idea was throw out all the hadith literature.
He meant well i think, but this is totally impossible!
LeftisruiningCanada says
Oh, and by the way, what a bigoted islamophobe you are Champ.
Andy says
Now arn’t you glad you got that off your chest LeftisruiningCanada!!
Take care, my friend.
Cheers!

Karen says
Agree with that position too. There have been attempts to reform Islam, but sooner or later, the hardliners re-emerge.
I’ve been doing a bit of reading lately about Tunisia, a very interesting country with a moderate bent, even liberal, despite the fact that Islam is the state religion. In the 1950s, the political and religious elites came up with a way to get around unhappy scriptural interpretations; they claimed that intelligence and common sense, being a gift from Allah should prevail over troublesome interpretations, and that this is very strictly Islamic. This gave believers and religious figures an out, and brought about a great liberalization, such as women’s rights. But, now, the hardliners are coming back, with the traditional Koran interpretations. So, reform is great, but if it’s based on wishful thinking instead of solid truth, it won’t last.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Oh yes, much better Andy 😉
Karen, agreed. It seems that in practical terms, islam can only be kept down by constant force and suppression. This is what happens in so many islamic nations.
Take away the lid of state control, and islam will always explode into it’s same old chaotic struggle for tribal dominance.

Good exchange. Thanks.

tiredofstupid says
Hi Robert, not to correct you , but from what I have read about the UK, you can be arrestedfor criticizing Islam in the “secular” west. And it’s coming soon to canada also. I’m not sure but doesn’t Merkelistan deport you to an Iran for it?
MFritz says
Amazing. For once not an imam claiming that man being a heretic and/or “wizard”. And a lynch mob doing “justice”.
Troybeam says
People are being killed for revealing the words of the Prophet of Islam, the truth will set you free so the saying goes in this case with Islam the truth will get you killed.
Wake up people the Prophet of Islam was nothing more than a very angry ruthless human being that hated women, animals and all who would not follow his ideals, How millions have accepted this person’s ideals is just mind boggling, sure I get the uneducated but for the educated person who can read and understand is where I cannot fathom any sane person staying within its grasp even with the threat of death that holds many in place never to leave.
Islam does not want the truth of the written words of the Koran so lets not appease Islam and start exposing the the lies that Islam hides behind, knowledge is freedom people…….use it.
Stonewall says
Very BRAVE person.
This is a Man who knows that no government in the world accepts criticism of Islam… After 9/11 and all the other attacks, every government is subdued.
It is not like he is gonna post something and when he is being hunted down… flee somewhere. He knows he is alone in the world.
Gotta give it to this guy who is trying to shame the ‘used to be’ free world.
hammar says
islam is a sham mohammed had a six year old wife at the end of his life.
more of a child abuser and molester. He had no revelation of God. Period.
