See? They’re moderates. But we are still much more enlightened in the West. In the U.S., those who insult Islam and Muhammad are demonized, stigmatized, ostracized, shadowbanned, and deplatformed. But they serve no jail time! Yet.
“Court cuts jail time for Sarawakian convicted of insulting Islam, retains RM50,000 fine,” by Sulok Tawie, Malay Mail, September 13, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KUCHING, Sept 13 — Alister Cogia, 22, will now spend six years of his life in prison instead of 10 after he was found guilty of insulting Islam and the religion’s prophet on Facebook.
High Court judge Azhahari Kamal Ramli today reduced an earlier prison sentence, but maintained the RM50,000 fine imposed by the Sessions Court after taking into account the timing and frequencies of the offence.
He said the accused had committed a serious crime which could undermine racial harmony in Sarawak, adding that all religions must be respected.
The judge also noted that Alister was sane when he pled guilty to all the charges and when he posted the offensive remarks on his Facebook page.
On March 8 this year, Alister was sentenced to 10 years jail and fined RM50,000 after he pleaded guilty to the charges of uploading on social media offensive materials about Islam and the prophet….
Francis Teron, one of the defence counsel, said it is up to Alister to decide whether he wanted to appeal to the decision against the reduced jail term….
He said the legal team had argued that the accused had mental problem when he uploaded the offensive materials and did not know the consequences of pleading guilty to the charges….

From a dime in the big house to now only six. See, the Shariah can be reasonable, so let’s not be so quick to denounce it as uncivilized though control, let’s think before we badmouth it as inherently unfair and unjust.

Wow, all of us who are Americans should be glad that we live in the USA where we have freedom of speech. The only limited in America to truth expounding is the use of Facebook internet site.
For Facebook has its own pro-Islamic censor board. With it’s own pro-Islam and even to the extent that it puts its users on a month bad for denouncing jihad /suicide/homicide bombing attacks . As absurd is this sounds it’s nevertheless the truth.
For example late last month Facebook, again, put me on a thirty day ban for two violations of its “community standards ”
One of the two “violations’ that Facebook found so terrible offensive is this below essay.
An important question is “Why are the jihadist bombers, so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs? ” Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations”
Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]”
This ,above, is one of the two essays is what the Facebook censoring staff got so upset over that they put me a a 30 day ban for. The other essay which Facebook found to be a “affront” to their “community standards” that it also banned me for 30 days is the essay below.
“Those Muslims who are jihad suicide bombers may actually be better called Jihad suicide-homicide jihad bombers are as deluded as they was dangerous and murderous. For they must had actually believed by that by their murdering jihad bombing he was going to obtain for himself a paradise. The more fool them. For the Bible teaches that a murder “shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ” Galatians 5:21. In addition the falsehood of the story of the doctrine from the Koran, the Qu ‘ran, Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31, of a sexual /lust-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for certain men Muslim men is a falsehood the is a story /doctrine is this also absurd. The Bible warns against listening to and believing in unproven, unfounded and far-fetched religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious story /doctrines may be . For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore, the Bible had predicted the coming of such false religious teachers, as those imams, who teaches other a story/doctrine of a lust-filled /lust-fill place for specific men. For the Bible reads “”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but will after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers ,having itching ears; and they shall turn their ears for the truth ,and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [K.J.V.]”
So all of us who are Americans only have Facebook to keep us from posting the truth This is bad enough.
America ,so far , is not a Muslim controlled nation as Malaysia.

How many muslims have been arrested for saying that non-muslims are the wort of creatures? I’m sure that imans say so every so often as they read from the quran…

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there always seems to be vague accusations of insulting the prophet, insulting islam etc. But no evidence whatsoever of what was actually said or done!

Sharia law demands the death of a blasphemer and most schools of Islam agree. All you have to do is to “MENTION” anything about Islam to which a Muslim objects and you’re dead!
From Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller’ Chapter ‘O’ 11.10.05:
The (DHIMMI) agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:
-5- mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.”
Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

Matti Friedman [former Associated Press reporter] wrote:
“Hamas’s strategy is to provoke a response from Israel
by attacking from behind the cover of Palestinian civilians,
thus drawing Israeli strikes that kill those civilians,
and then to have the casualties filmed by one of the
world’s largest press contingents, with the understanding
that the resulting outrage abroad will blunt Israel’s response.
This is a ruthless strategy, and an effective one.
It is predicated on the cooperation of journalists.
One of the reasons it works is because
of the reflex I mentioned.
If you report that Hamas has a strategy based on
co-opting the media, this raises several difficult questions, like:
What exactly is the relationship between the media and Hamas?
And has this relationship corrupted the media?”
