Saudi Blasphemy Law May Backfire
by sheikyermami on March 18, 2008
* Between a rock and a hard place:
Our friends the Sowdi’s would like to behead everyone who draws a cartoon of their genocidal false prophet, (publicly if possible) and since the sons (or rather the fathers) of the desert are the best people the world has ever known, it is only them who are by right of their religion allowed to insult others. That’s why a proposed blasphemy law that would require Muhammedan’s to ‘respect all prophets’ could very well give Islam that awful, dreaded backlash:
With thanx to Mullah
(dpa) – The Saudi Shura council rejected an international recommendation to criminalize offences against all religions, stressing that the suggestion would imply the government’s recognition of what it considered as pagan religions, media reports said Tuesday.
Some 77 of the 150 members of the Shura or consultative council, which has limited legislative rights, opposed the recommendation, while only 33 supported it.
The proposal states that the “Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs along with the Arab Islamic group of the United Nations will adopt an international recommendation that prohibits offence of all religions and religious figures by all means.”
Talal Bakry, a Shura council member, opposed the move, saying that the recommendation means a full recognition of “the pagan religions” and thus will allow the establishment of non-monotheistic worship places in Muslim countries.
“This recommendation is a trap for the Muslim community, which can result in negative consequences on Muslims above all the others,” Khalil al-Khalil, an opponent member, was quoted as saying in al-Watan Saudi newspaper.
He added that the suggestion includes vague wordings like “religions and religious figures” that may vary in definition from one country to another.
Mohammed al-Qowayhas, a supporter of the recommendation, however stressed that the idea of the Shura was to respect the opinions of others.

This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening.
We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way...
But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it. If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted.
Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth,
(we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it!
One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for
trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display.
But you won't be back, trust me on that.
Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Yeah, like how their profit is no prophet to me and I do not recognize him, therefore, I cannot blaspheme him.
Hahahahahaha Not quite so friggin dandy when YOU have to play by the same damn rules you want to impose on everyone else, now is it??? God I love it!!!!!!
Trouble is, it was just a proposal that got rejected. Maybe in time the Sowdis will get something like that going but it won’t be anytime soon. Think about it. A country that shoves girls back into a burning building because they didn’t have their heads covered is really run by ignorant monkeys. And monkeys just aren’t into changing. How does that saying go? You can take the monkey out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey…..
THEY ARE FRUSTRATED AND NOT THINKING THINGS THROUGH (>:

You know, if only they would take that train of thought and run with it, they would understand why we don’t see things such as mo-toons to be that big of a deal. But as always, it’s one way for them and another for infidels.
