“While the High Representative stresses the importance of upholding the freedom of expression as a fundamental human right, he also emphasises that the act of Quran-burning, amounts to an expression of hatred towards Muslims.

University that fired prof for showing Muhammad image backtracks, pays lip service to ‘academic freedom’
People have defended the fired professor, Erika López Prater, on the grounds that she did not have “Islamophobic” intent.

Sweden permits Qur’an-burning, Turkey says Swedes must fight those who ‘target Islam’ if it wants to join NATO
I’m generally not in favor of burning books as a form of protest; I’d rather people read the Qur’an than burn it. Nonetheless, this is an important flashpoint for the freedom of expression today.

UN calls on Islamic Republic of Pakistan to halt forced conversions, forced marriages and child marriages
The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and […]
