Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Mubarak Bala arrested for blasphemy!

gloria, you don't want to look too closely to southern buddhism, e.g. south east asia, and sri lanka, where it led the charge

Well you are a great defender of the faiths.

You haven't said anything about Buddhism, a religion that has a lot to offer.

Gloria in Excelsis Omega-Wali,

 Is it too much to ask that you respect what other people or faiths hold as sacred? Holy? That you respect Muhammad, salalllahu alaihi wa salaam the personal Beloved of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that you respect the people of Islam who say, " We are Muslims"? Of course, individually, we probably have different degrees of respect for others that God has created.

 The Prophet of Islam also has a right to rest in peace.

 Mallam Abba Kyari has the same right.

 If you vilified the Prophet of Islam, salallahu alaihi wa salaam, if (God forbid) you said that he was suffering from "dementia" or he was "demented" or "geriatric" or "vermin", I would not only burn you at the stake. So please, NEVER do such a despicable thing, not even in the name of ignorance, or in the name of freedom of speech or freedom of theology or freedom of philosophy

Brother Chielozona Eze and Sister Gloria Emeagwali,

 I notice that you are in the same choir, birds of the same feather, singing the same melody.

Well, let me tell you this, I'm not only happy, I'm overjoyed  that Mubarak Bala has been arrested for repeatedly, wilfully vilifying the Prophet of Islam , salalllahu alaihi wa salaam, in this holy month of Ramadan.  And he knew full well what he was doing.

 I hope that they make a statutory example of him, so that other miscreants of his ilk do not follow in his footsteps on the road to perdition

Over here in Sweden, we had one Lars Vilks who is still in hiding and under police protection.

 Mind you, I do not consider Spinoza or  something like this to be blasphemous  - in Judaism,  you may vilify Jesus,  etc and blasphemy extends only to the Almighty. For example,  I consider what the Encyclopaedia Judaica says about Rasulullah, salallahu alaihi wa salaam to be not only offensive but blasphemous and the contents of what's said provides more than enough proof of the offence according to the Laws of blasphemy in Islam and according to all the known schools of Islamic jurisprudence.

Even if you are in doubt about this matter, I would lovingly advise you not to go and commit the same kind of offence in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Pakistan. I doubt that Amnesty International would be able to help you.

Cornelius, 

One person's blasphemy is another's eulogy.

 Freedom of expression is vital for all and that is why we love your commentary on such a wide range of ideas, from Judaism to Islam and beyond. 

So if I say that I don't believe in Judaism, Christianity or Islam,
will you, Cornelius the Wise, burn me at the stakes? Wherein lie the wisdom
and humanism?

Today  it is Bala, but  tomorrow it may be you  - burnt by The Taliban, for expressing affiliation to Judaism.
