True, which is why the choice of tracing the person who sent the email and giving it to authorities is the stupid one.
The FIA is definitely not the blame here. The laws are, and the journalist/news org is.
My knowledge of history is not that deep. I am aware of traditions in certain hadith books regarding the poet who was killed. That aside I am not even aware of anyone else who was killed for blaspheming the Prophet in the Islamic state. Here I am considering the early rule of Islam only.
And there are reasons for my disagreement with it.
Yes I can. Infact if you recall the mosque of Dhu Awaan that the Prophet had burned because it was where Munafiqeen (who are mentioned in the Quran too) congregated to hatch their plans, the munafiqs themselves were not killed.
*A group of munafiqun built a mosque at Dhu Awan, an hour’s ride from Madinah, wherein to meet to concoct and plan their divisive strategy and misinterpret and misrepresent the words of God to the people. Before he left for the campaign of Tabuk, the Prophet was even asked by them to dedicate their mosque. The time, however, was pressing and the Prophet asked to be excused. After his return, the Prophet learned more about this group and their purposes, and hence ordered their mosque assigned to the flames. The munafiqun shook with fear and went into hiding. Henceforth, there remained only their elder, `Abdullah ibn Ubayy, to lead and protect them.
Abdullah, however, did not live long after Tabuk. He fell ill two months later and died. **To the knowledge of everyone, Abdullah nursed the strongest hatred and resentment for the Prophet ever since the Hijrah. This notwithstanding, Muhammad was careful enough to let no Muslim inflict any harm upon him. Indeed, more. When he learned of Abdullah's death, Muhammad was quick to conduct a funeral service for him, to pray for him, and to see to it that he was given proper burial.** With Abdullah’s passing, however, the munafiqun lost their strongest pillar, and most of them hurried thereafter to repentance and genuine faith.*
Campaign of Tabuk and the Death of Ibrahim
Absolutely, why not! Jihad is not applicable in every situation, and more often than not the appropriate reaction is infact preaching.
You did not answer my question. What right do Muslims have to ask for any freedom abroad if they behave like this in their own country?
