Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.
These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, 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. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, 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. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)
“Christian in Pakistan Charged with Blasphemy for Bible Post,” Morning Star News, July 4, 2023:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – Police in Pakistan charged a Christian with blasphemy on Friday (June 30) after he posted Bible verses on Facebook that infuriated Muslims, causing dozens of Christian families in a village near Sargodha city to flee their homes.
Tensions flared in Chak 49 Shumaali village, Punjab Province, after 45-year-old Haroon Shahzad on Thursday (June 29) posted on his Facebook page 1 Corinthians 10:18-21, regarding food sacrificed to idols, as Muslims were beginning the four-day festival of Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), which involves slaughtering an animal and sharing the meat.
A Muslim villager took a screenshot of the post, sent it to local social media groups and accused Shahzad of disrespecting the Abrahamic tradition of animal sacrifice and likening Muslims to pagans. Eid al-Adha commemorates God providing a lamb for Abraham to sacrifice instead of his son. In the passage posted from 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul states that pagan sacrifices are offered to demons.
Shahzad made no comment in the post, inflammatory or otherwise, said Sargodha resident Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, a Christian and former lawmaker.
“The post began circulating in Muslim circles on Thursday, but the situation became tense after the Friday prayers when announcements were made from mosque loudspeakers asking people to gather for a protest,” Chaudhry told Morning Star News.
Chaudhry said that he and other local Christian leaders began monitoring tensions on Thursday evening (June 29) and were in contact with the district administration and police authorities. When they heard that mobs from other villages had begun gathering after the mosque announcements, they informed Sargodha District police, which sent a large contingent to protect the 250-300 Christian families in the village, he said.
“The police reached the village in time and prevented any attack on the Christians or damage to property,” Chaudhry said. “However, the police presence did not deter the mobs from raising inflammatory slogans. Fearing that the situation could get out of hand, a majority of the Christian families fled their homes, leaving everything behind.”
Chaudhry, an attorney and head of his own political party, said that Shahzad went into hiding on Thursday evening (June 29) along with his wife and six children.
“The police registered a case against Haroon on Friday under Sections 295-A and 298, under the pressure of the mobs backed by the extremist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan [TLP],” he said. “The FIR [First Information Report] is unwarranted, because Haroon had only shared a biblical verse and had made no personal comment that could be deemed blasphemous or inflammatory.”
Section 295-A relates to “deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs” and is punishable with imprisonment of up to 10 years and fine, or both. Section 298 prescribes up to one year in prison and a fine, or both, for hurting religious sentiments….

Islam is truly fascism in a from of a religion
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Precisely! Which is why I have argued incessantly that islam is not a religion. Some here argue that it’s an evil religion, but the problem is that once islam gets the halo of being a religion, it automatically gets not just the First Amendment protections, but even worse, the respectability of a religion. People then compare it to mainstream religions like Christianity and Buddhism, rather than ideologies like Communism or cults like Branch Davidianism
Years ago, Ali Sina wrote a great article of how islam satisfies all the conditions of a cult, rather than a religion, which is even more than most cults out there
https://www.faithfreedom.org/islam-cult-or-religion
I’d go a step further. islam is a unique cross b/w a geopolitical ideology, such as Communism, and a cult, such as Branch Davidian
John says
Ali Sina is a great exmuslim who exposes the faulthoods of Islam
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
It would be interesting to know how SCOTUS would rule on whether or not islam is a religion vis-à-vis the IRS nonprofit status of mosques.
Michael Copeland says
The mobs gathered “after the mosque announcements”. This is one element that western media omit in coverage of what they term muslim “protests”, or “demonstrations”, as if they are comparable with protests in a free western democracy.
Islam is submission. All have to submit to instructions from the mosque.
Walter Sieruk says
Many Muslims strongly dislike Christians, as observed in Pakistan. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them and burn their Bibles. One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.
The violent and vicious Muslims who are jihadists of ISIS in their murderous persecution of Christians aren’t really going to get away with their destruction of Christians. As the apostle Paul had written each individual Christian is actually, in the View of God, a temple of God. For to Christians, it is written in the Bible “Don’t you know that that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s Temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16,17. [N.I.V.] As in “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7.

So much for **respect* * for all religions…criticism banning, no desecration…coming from the pakis; and the Christians going along, saying burning should be banned for the unholy demonic book of evil filth….protesting in the streets of pakistan for better treatment of the book that calls them all kins of insults and says to “murder” and enslave…
And then….charges of blasphemy because he posted Bible verses….This alone, if they couldn’t see it before….should tell them there is no reciprocation from mozlums. there is no turn-about, no mutual respect from mozlums…
Christians should be aware that mozums never deal fairly, never honestly, never with any fellow-feeling or kindness. Or any understanding….it’s the mozlum way or no way.
somehistory says
The “law” says it’s a crime to “hurt religious sentiments,” but it is obvious that this only applies to the “sentiments” of mozlums.
The oic said some many years ago, that the only *religion* is islam. The others don’t count with mozlums or the ***laws*** that they make to “protect religious sentiments.”
Heck, there isn’t even any protection for non-mozlums, not just their “sentiments,” when the mozlum mobs are out for blood.
Oren says
Meanwhile leftists and leftist media will tell us repeatedly that islam cant be racist, muslims are tolerant, and exhibit no behaviors that justify increased security measures, or having their immigration opportunities reduced. The future belongs to those of us who agree to ignore the opinions of vast numbers of leftists. Maybe the good guys are the ones letting the muslims in. In G-d I trust.
FYI says
“Thou shalt NOT commit murder”
Exodus 20,Torah{pentateuch}
If muslims had the Law of Moses {Written in the Real Torah and confirmed by Jesus Christ}as opposed to allah’s ‘torah’ then muslims would have the Golden Rule and the 2nd chief commandment and the Exodus 20 Laws {which condemn murder}etc but of course allah MISSED all that.
Moses with roar with laughter at the quran and would know it to be false;allah MISSED the entire contents and law behind the Torah.As would Abraham:’Abraham was not a jew”Really?
What is missing from the koran given that allah insists “WE gave unto the Children of Israel the Torah and the commands and the prophethood” is koran 45:16?
The Torah[;the 2 chief commandments,the Golden Rule etc} or
The Entire contents of the Real Torah
FYI says
Here is the Law of Moses explained by Jesus Christ
It is being on TWO chief Laws{1st Deut 6:4-&,2nd lev 19:17-18]{“the WHOLE OF THE LAW Matthew 22 v 40} and the meaning of the Law is the Golden Rule{Matthew 7:12}
The Exodus 20 laws condemn murder.To refer to non-muslims as ‘the WORST of created beings’ is a violation of Genesis 1 v 27.
“Love GOD,love OTHERS and do for others what you want them to do for you”
The 2 chief Commandments and the Golden Rule is the Law of the Torah
And allah MISSED all that.Does it look like allah even knows the Torah?
{if you are an atheist think of allah as the Wizard of Oz}
Moses would laugh at the koran
somehistory says
I believe Moses would tear it up. Recall how angry he was when he saw the golden calf?
RH says
Terrible. But how come Indian/Hindu critic Tony Perkins who claims Indias CRA law is discriminatory,etc so silent?
