Is this Islam?--3 years prison for speaking against it?

Question

Egyptian blogger Kareem was just sentenced to 3 years in prison for speaking against radical Islam. Is Islam that against freedom of speech that one can't even examine or criticize it?

those who say it is the government and not Islam, why would the government punish someone for speaking against Islam if they are not Islamic (which I believe they are)? I truly believe there are Muslims who believe in peace but where are the peaceful leaders who denounce this stuff?

Answer 1

It just proves that those Muslims who claim to be 'peaceful'. moderate or whatever are actually no such thing. They remain silent on extremism, giving tacit approval, shout very loudly when anyone attacks the extremists claiming it is an attack on Islam. And now they have acted, imprisoning someone for exposing the truth behind extremist Islam. And giving clear evidence that those so-called moderate Muslims do support the extremists.

Answer 2

Most of the Islamic governments are run by idiots and they'll arrest you for anything in Egypt. In Saudi for example you can also get thrown in jail for criticizing the government and Islam.

Answer 3

No, but the Egyptian government is "that against freedom of speech that one can't even examine of criticize it". That much is obvious to anyone who has a shred of information about Egypt in the past century.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, yes.

A Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding
By Sam Solomon
Foreword by Gerard Batten
UK Independence Party
Member of the European Parliament for London
December 2006

Article 9

We the signatories request all Islamic institutions and all of its
associates, affiliations and outlets in co-operation with the
signatories to this Charter:

a) To discard all texts that discriminate with impunity against
Christians and Jews by describing them as Kaffirs,
apostates, polytheists, the children of apes, and swine, and
prohibit any inciting, insulting, and all discriminatory
references based on their religion

b) To abandon the practice of Takffir (infidel) against
anybody, be that a Muslim or a non-Muslim. (Once a
Muslim leader declares anyone as such, it is for the faithful
ones to see that person eliminated.)

c) To prohibit and abolish the practice of Takkiya (Islamic
doctrine of legitimate lying and deception of others) to
advance the cause of Muslims and Islam.

This insulting, inciting, discrimination, and deception is not to be
upheld or practised.


Here is a British man trying to get the violent, fundamentalist Islamanazis to moderate their self-destructive behaviors, and they aren't having any of it. What Mr. Solomon still hasn't accepted is that FANATICS of ANY flavor CANNOT be negotiated with--they are ideologically incapable of adjustment to a changing world--that's what makes them fanatics! THEY WILL NEVER STOP! They are locked into their course of action. Islamunists kill people who try to convert to another religion and philosophy.

Not ONE Islamic nation's government supports this peace proposal!! They don't want it. They want world homogeneity, as defined by them, and brought about by reprehensible actions in the name of 'religion'. This is EVIL!

Unfortunately, there aren't too many EFFECTIVE ways to deal with homocidal fanatics. Why waste time, money and lives on INEFFECTIVE appeasment? It just delays the day of Jihad.

Islamic terrorists KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE! Now, I love peace and freedom as much as the next guy. But sometimes it's necessary to pull our heads out of our 'idealss', and put foot to hump for all mankind.

PLEASE, think up a different solution that includes my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, without my living in constant fear of a terrorist act killing or maiming my little girls. Even if it costs a little more money than nuking the evil 'tards that want to violently overthrow everything I believe in, if it will save other human life, I'll agree to it. Just remember, it MUST be EFFECTIVE. Also, remember that Palestinian Islamanazis won't even recognize Israel as a legitimate government. They support the extermination of all Israeli Jews, and actively practice Jihad. So, once again, tell me how to take care of this problem.
