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

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.
