“Indeed, those who malign Allah and his messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating punishment. And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and obvious sin. O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful. If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the alarmists in the city do not stop, we will indeed urge you on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it only for a little while. Cursed, they will be seized wherever they are found and killed with a slaughter.” (Qur’an 33:57-61)
Abu ‘Afak was a poet who was over one hundred years old, and had mocked Muhammad in his verses. Muhammad asked his companions: “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” One of them murdered Abu ‘Afak in his sleep. Likewise with another poet who mocked him: the poetess ‘Asma bint Marwan. Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of Muhammad’s 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, another poet whose crime was mocking Muhammad. 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 companions, Muhammad bin Maslama, answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When 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)
“‘Attacking Prophet Mohammed means death, Kamlesh Tiwari was killed after 5 years’: Islamic cleric issues threat over alleged blasphemy,” OpIndia, June 16, 2022:
Amid the political turmoil in the country over Nupur Sharma’s remarks on Prophet Muhammad, Islamic fundamentalists are constantly issuing death threats to her. A video has recently appeared on social media in which an Islamic cleric is seen openly issuing death threats to former BJP leaders Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal at a press conference.
An Islamic cleric named Hamid Engineer was openly threatening Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal in a press conference, saying that ‘insulting Islam means signing own suicide note’. The video was shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute. According to the report, Minorities Democratic Party held a press conference in Nagpur on 5th June 2022. Hamid Engineer, President of Iman Tanzim Islamic, was present at this press conference. In this press conference, he reacted to the allegedly derogatory remarks about the prophet Muhammad given by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and former Delhi BJP leaeder Naveen Jindal.
While addressing the press conference, the Islamic scholar openly issued death threats to Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal. Hamid Engineer said, “To attack the honorable Prophet Mohammed and to attack his honor, there is only one consequence of this – and that is death. No one can stop you (from being killed). You are signing a suicide note (by making such remarks). Kamlesh Tiwari was killed after five years. People killed him after five years by entering his home. Don’t think that, if the issue is resolved today, you will be spared. So better you don’t commit blasphemy.”…

This just naturally means that we have to do it more!

Pope Francis needs to educate this cleric that Islam is peace and love.

I’m assuming that Ned Price, and Blinken by extension, agree w/ him

someone…who may have only existed as a figment of imagination in the evil brains of creatures centuries ago…dead, consumed by worms many, many, many moons ago, cannot be “attacked” or insulted.
If that could happen, I’d be first in line because he…real or imagined…was a sack of feculent filth and deserves all of the condemnation that can be heaped on such one by an entire world of honest, innocent, ethical people. I might even have to fight my way to be first in line, as I am aware there are others who “hate islam” and all that it means, for which it stands, for which it is responsible in the deaths, rapes, destruction, evil actions, lies….etc.
these mozlums are nothing but a bunch of bloodthirsty, warmongering, terrorists who worship a book of filth, a depraved false “prophet” and the devil, father of the lie, who just can’t let the Truth be spoken about their hero who deserves only what his father, satan the devil, deserves. and that is not any respect or admiration, much less for lies to be told about his greatness.,, which was zero.
James Lincoln says
Can someone please explain to me why insulting the “prophet” muhammad is any different than insulting, say, Adolf Hitler?
Infidel says
B’cos the institution that he founded somehow qualifies as a religion, as opposed to what Hitler founded, which qualifies as an ideology. Only difference b/w the 2 is that one was created in the 7th century (or 9th if one buys RS’ theory that Mohammed himself probably never existed) and the other in the 20th
I sometimes wonder what would have happened had Hitler been born in the 5th century, during the Barbarian invasions of Europe, and if Muhammad had been born in 20th century Arabia. Whether the latter could have gotten away w/ any of his claims (again, assuming that he actually existed the way he’s described in the sunnah)
James Lincoln says
Thanks for your reply, Infidel.
Your explanation makes sense.
Infidel says
Some good news – Nupur Sharma has disappeared, and is no longer traceable. (I’m assuming that she’s gone underground w/ her family and supporters, not that she’s been captured by her enemies). The various state police run by secular opposition parties could easily throw her to the wolves, had she not been careful

gravenimage says
I’m not sure that Sharma and her family having to go into hiding is a good thing, Infidel.
Infidel says
Having to go into hiding is not good. What is good is that she has, given the snakes in various state governments that would rather scapegoat her instead of controlling the law & order situation in Bombay and Calcutta

India: Muslim cleric says ‘there is only one consequence’ of insulting Muhammad, ‘and that is death’
………………
Is India going to allow these death threats?
Notice this group calls itself “Democratic”, as though there were anything democratic about death threats.
And note that she didn’t even insult Muhammad, but just cited the Islamic texts themselves–but that was enough.
Black Sabbath says
Moslems should consider banning Koran and Hadith. These books have plenty of insults to prophet. Once books are banned, infidels won’t be able to find the truth about the prophet.
OLD GUY says
Islams answer to any questioning or negative comment id violence and death. Peace and loving religion?
Andrew Blackadder says
Just imagine how the islamic world would have reacted had she actually said something insulting, or something wrong about mohamand, may piss be upon him, but of course these bottom feeding morons are so easily insulted because they are a bunch of ignorant cowards that want to kill a woman for saying what is actually written in the one book they all read…These are NOT men…They are scum.
