Blogger gets 4 years for insulting Islam
An Egyptian court has sentenced a blogger to four years' prison for insulting Islam and the president. You can read the details here.
The article that done for him starts of:-
"The Muslims have taken the mask off to show their true hateful face, and they have shown the world that they are at the top of their brutality, inhumanity, and thievery.
They have clearly shown their worst features and have shown that in dealing with others they are not governed by any moral codes."
And you can read the full post over on the Pub Philosopher.
Now people who think that we will be able to make some kind of agreement with these people are badly mistaken. In the short term, the Muslims in the west will "tolerate" our wicked ways but rest assured when the time is right they will use our love of democracy against us.

ReplyDeleteWhy I Could Not Become Muslim
Written by Layla Gonzalez
I was 23 years old at the time I met and married my then-husband - an Egyptian Muslim. From the onset of that relationship I was continually encouraged to become a Muslim. During that time in my life I was disgruntled with Catholics, having been raised one. I felt there was too much hypocrisy in the church. That led me on a search of different Christian religions and even Judaism, but I did not commit to any.
By the time I married my husband, I agreed to become a Muslim. I went through the motions, but I could never believe that Jesus was "just a prophet." To me, Jesus was and always will be the Son of God, the Messiah.
....
I was continually told by my in-laws how I was not a "good Muslim" and worse. I was told this because I refused to wear a scarf on my head and I did not pray five times a day.
My sister-in-law actually asked me if her brother found me in the street or the garbage because they know "all" American women are not virgins, they are whores. Fortunately or unfortunately for me, depending on how you look at this, I learned to speak Arabic so I knew exactly what was being said to me and about me.
.....
I myself at one point was almost raped when I was seven months pregnant with my second child. We were visiting my husband's boss at his chalet. I asked to use the bathroom and he said he would show me where it was.
My husband obviously trusted him as he allowed him to direct me to where the bathroom was. When I opened the door of the bathroom, my husband's boss was blocking the door and then tried to accost me sexually. I ran away and went outside where my husband was sitting and said nothing to him. I could not say anything at the time because if I did I could have been jailed. That is how it is in Saudi Arabia.
.......
After some more years of a tumultuous and violent relationship with my husband, I finally could not allow myself to pretend to be a Muslim out of fear of reprisal. I spoke up and told him I was a Christian and that I believed Jesus was not only the Son of God, but also my Lord and Savior. I then divorced him.
....
Like all true Muslims do, they first brainwash you - then pollute you with their hate.
I could not become a Muslim because I believe in Jesus....
Yes, like the prodigal child I wandered, but in the end I did not depart from the core beliefs my parents taught me as a child.
This is a sad story indeed, God bless Kareem and keep him safe, someday he will be free.
