A journalist in Sudan was recently beheaded because her wrote an article questioning the parantage of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh.) Do you think that this is an appropriate punishment for writing an article like that? Can the actions of such a state (Iran falls in the same category) be justified?

to Rabbi Yohanneh: I was asking an honest question- please don't make presumptions about my feelings toward Muslims or the intent behind my question.

To everyone else: My question was wether or not Muslims (American, or otherwise) felt that execution was an appropriate punishment for blasphemy. AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, I DON'T believe in executing anyone for their opinion, beliefs or statements... I was hoping that someone could shed light upon this punishment in other countries.
No one has.
I'm shocked at how almost everyone here has assumed that I must be anti-Islam just for asking this question. You are mistaken. I guess I am anti-Islamic theocracies, but that's all. If I lived in Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Sudan, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia or the United Arab Emerites, I"m sure I would have been killed by now for my free thinking and ideas..... thank God I live in America.
If America ever falls to the twisted ideals of Islamic-fascists, I will be counted among the many that are summarily executed. So be it. God/Allah didn't give us free will just to have it stifled by a group of mad-men.

An American Muslim was put off a flight for wearing an Arabic slogan on his t-shirt. Was this an appropriate punishment? Islam has fundamentalist groups and individuals. So what? Are we surprised about this? Christianity has its terrorists as does Judaism. There are even Buddhist militants and extreemists resorting to violence. But it is popular to point out Islam right now, so should I join in with you?

Muslims kill over what they call blasphemous remarks but the remarks are often true. Muhammed was a murderous preverted tyrant. Muslims have turned evil into good. Their whole religion is based on fear and bondage. Muhammed is a prophet of evil and it can be seen in his followers.

if he crossed the line and insulted the Prophet of God he sure deserves death.
but if he was researching and asking fair questions without insults then the punishment is unjustifiable.

No! That journalist didn't even deserve death even if he really was questioning the parentage of Muhhamed!
