We are much more enlightened in the West: “insulting Islamic sanctities” won’t get you imprisoned (yet); it will just get you vilified, defamed, deplatformed, and branded a “hate group leader.”
“Iran: Prisoner of conscience flogged 100 times for ‘drinking alcohol and insulting Islam,’” Amnesty International, August 1, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The flogging of Kurdish singer and prisoner of conscience Peyman Mirzazadeh 100 times demonstrates the shocking brutality of Iran’s justice system, said Amnesty International.
Peyman Mirzazadeh had been sentenced to two years in prison and 100 lashes after being convicted of “drinking alcohol” and “insulting Islamic sanctities”. The flogging was carried out on 28 July and left him in agonizing pain with a severely swollen back and legs. He is currently on hunger strike in protest at his treatment and sentence….
According to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), an Iranian human rights group, Peyman Mirzazadeh had been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and 80 lashes for “insulting Islamic sanctities” and 20 lashes for “drinking alcohol”. He had also been sentenced to two years in prison in a separate case on charges including collaborating with an opposition group….

This arrest and imprisonment of that man further exposes the weak ,fearful and intolerant nature of those in power in the oppressive and brutal “mullah regime “ of Iran.
As a former Muslim revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
Furthermore, in the book entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, by William Wagner on page 208 the reader is informed that “The creation of the Islamic republic in Iran has had the effect that many from that country have become disillusioned with Islam and are looking to leave Iran. ” This is a point worth pondering.

Yeah, drinking alcohol is bad but drinking camel urine is okay. If Muhammad were alive today it would also be okay to drink his blood (but bad for Christians ti drink wine as the blood of Christ). Still, it’s good to know that Muhammad’s blood was on a par with camel urine. See the video:
