U Hla Swe said: “They [the US] can insult three out of four religions. But do they dare touch Muhammad? I doubt the US is that brave. If they do, Muhammad will bomb them with an airplane. They are afraid of that.”
That’s what he is being sued for. U San Aung said: “As a Muslim, I can’t accept that he said that the Prophet Muhammad would carry out a terrorist bomb attack. That’s why I am filing a complaint. No insult to any religion, including Buddhism, is acceptable. I want the law to be properly enforced.”
But is what U Hla Swe said really inaccurate? Of course there were no bombs or airplanes in Muhammad’s time, but there is abundant evidence from core Islamic sources that Muhammad reacted violently to being insulted. Abu Afak was a poet who was over one hundred years old, and he had mocked Muhammad in his verses. Muhammad asked the “companions” (sahaba), his closest followers: “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” One of the companions murdered Abu Afak in his sleep.
Likewise with another poet who mocked him, Asma bint Marwan. Muhammad cried out: “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of the companions, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well.
Muhammad commended him:
You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr! (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)
Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad again asked his companions: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Sahaba, Muhammad bin Maslama, answered: “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?”
Muhammad said that he would.
Muhammad bin Maslama said: “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Bukhari 5.59.369)
In light of all this (and there is more), U Hla Swe can easily defend himself by showing how Muhammad really reacted to insults. This could be quite interesting, with international implications.
“Muslim Leader Files Suit Against Ex-Officer for ‘Hate Speech’ Against Islam,” by Htun Htun, The Irrawaddy, August 6, 2019:
YANGON—Muslim spiritual leader U San Aung said he is in the process of filing a lawsuit against U Hla Swe, an ex-military officer who represented the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) in the country’s Upper House under the U Thein Sein administration, accusing him of hate speech against Islam.
U San Aung filed the lawsuit under Article 295(a) of the Penal Code with Mayangon Township Court on Tuesday, but the court ordered that the case be filed with the court in Kyauktada Township, where U Hla Swe spoke during a rally condemning the US’ imposition of sanctions against Myanmar military (or Tatmadaw) leaders on Aug. 3 in front of Yangon City Hall.
The article criminalizes deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the feelings of any group by insulting its religion or religious beliefs.
“As a Muslim, I can’t accept that he said that the Prophet Muhammad would carry out a terrorist bomb attack. That’s why I am filing a complaint. No insult to any religion, including Buddhism, is acceptable. I want the law to be properly enforced,” U San Aung said.
During his Aug. 3 speech, U Hla Swe, who retired from the military as a lieutenant colonel to join the military’s proxy USDP before the 2010 general elections, said, “They [the US] can insult three out of four religions. But do they dare touch Muhammad? I doubt the US is that brave. If they do, Muhammad will bomb them with an airplane. They are afraid of that.”…

The madness that Muslims are trapped in.
CRUSADER says
How can this be possible?
“the Prophet Muhammad would carry out a terrorist bomb attack”
IF Mohamhead existed, he was ascribed 1400 years ago to have been a war monger, yet he was clearly NOT divine and he was most definitely mortal (poisoned), so how could Mohamhead come back to life to bomb anyone today?
(Could it be possible for Aisha and Ali also to return to life? What about the 12th Imam? If so, think of all the confused mayhem these blighters could create!)
IF Mohamhead didn’t exist, then he is a figment of imagination by Bedouin bandits using him as an excuse for their vicious ideology — by which they can make up anything, and thereby Mohamhead could possibly do these bombing runs these days, himself!
(Wow!!! Holy kablooom! Batman!)
Why rational and sophisticated minds in these modern times have to be exposed to and put up with this stuff-n-nonesensical Islam is beyond the pale.
FYI says
Well,here is some islamic nonsense.
muhammed{APFh,allah prays for him} had a MAGICAL FANTASY FLYING HORSE WITH A WOMAN’S HEAD AND A PEACOCK TAIL called buraq.
Nobody saw it:let’s face it,muhammed didn’t either because… he MADE IT UP.
And he flew on his flying horse from mecca to Jerusalem to visit a mosque…that didn’t exist in mo’s time{koran 17.1}
Some muslims believe buraq to be real.
How can muhammed’s claim to have a FLYING HORSE be taken seriously?
“I have fabricated things against God and attributed to him things he has not said”
Al Tabari 6:111
{muhammed}
I’ll believe in Batman before I believe in muhammed’s FLYING HORSE.
As for ridiculing the “prophet”:those who take such offense might explain to us how muhammed had a MAGICAL FLYING HORSE.
Surely THAT is the most ridiculous thing about muhammed.
CRUSADER says
I new an actual Persian named ? Batman.
Holy Shi’ite!
Maybe the Hidden Imam!!!
mortimer says
Mohammed initiated contract killings for the purpose of terrorism:
The apostle said, “Who will deal with this rascal for me?” Whereupon Salim b. `Umayr, brother of B. `Amr b. `Auf one of the “weepers”, went forth and killed him.

Myanmar: Muslim charges hate speech against pol who said if someone insulted Muhammad, “Muhammad will bomb them”
………………………
The “Prophet” Muhammed regularly had his critics murdered, and enslaved and slaughtered entire trtibes that would not submit to his views. Only the techniques sometimes differ today.
Angemon says
And then the legion of useful idiots will blame the CIA and Mossad…
carolyne says
Mohammed might have some difficulty doing that. He’s dead.

Muhammad reacted violently to being insulted.” This low IQ weirdo got violent for any and every reason. How is possible to insult this fine “gentleman”. His own book, the koran (mo was too stupid to read, it was compiled from dozens of different versions. The koran and hadith tell us things about the pervert.
1- he was a homosexual (sucked boys penis according to Aisha)
2- paedophile (he bought Aisha when she was six but did not use her vagina until she was 9 (there were 2 other holes to use on the child between 6 and 9 years old, lunar months)
3- necrophiliac. jumped into the grave of his aunt and had sex with her corps, apparently this is haraam if the corpse is older than 1 day .
4-murderer,
5-liar,
6-thief,
7-slaver,
8-mentally ill, (believes he flys magic horsies and talks to the devil, his boss)
9-coward (is only decent when he is weak)
10- every sin known to man was routinely committed by the profit.
11-unsanitary dirty – fingers his anus every time he poops (all moslems do this as per his instructions)
Islam is as much a religion as the KKK or the Hells angels is a religion. It is an ideology of war , conquest and superiority.
BTW there is little if any evidence that mohamed the profit even existed. The little evidence there is is all circumstantial. islam was invented by Arab warlords 100 years after the fictional mohamed “died” after being poisoned by the child he raped for 11 years, Aisha. A pity she tool so long.
CRUSADER says
So many sinful acts.
Quite so about Islam being fabricated by warlords.

Islam existed before Mohammed, but Mohammed changed it by a lot. We know this from early Korans and Mosques that precede Mohammed. For example, Abraham was probably a Muslim before he started the Jewish religion.
John of Damascus quotes Mohammed extensively about 10 to 20 years after Mohammed’s death. Mohammed authored several stupid stories that John criticized. Yet the stories were passed through memory. No one wrote them down. For example, one is about a big camel, and another is about a horse. In any event, Muslims were quoting Mohammed as they began their conquest of the Middle East.
With that said, Mohammed seemed to be a terrorist. One quote attributed to his is, “I have been made successful through terror.”

Has anyone even check to see if this translation is accurate? Or if the verb tense is really reflect what is being written here? If what he said were in the conditional, it would place a different light on things.
winoceros says
*checked…past tense. Sigh.
