Under the Blasphemy Law in more than 30 countries and Apostasy Laws in more than 20, Apostates and Blasphemers rights to express their freedom of opinion, critique and speech is continuously silenced while at the same time threatened with execution or sentencing.

i will not drink the blood of a fool

when the glory of the lord shall shine

and blind men to his crimes

as the lies that he had promised me

would bind me to his tree

when all the angels in the dark

would brand me with the devil’s mark

i’d curse and cry with my last breath

‘i’ve still a half a bottle left!’

leave me alone, save someone else

i love my sinful, wicked self

take off from me this pit bull’s leash

save it for a pederastic priest

what good is my soul…

Suggested Obama Speech Draft: Muslims Must Learn Tolerance

Good evening. Tonight I speak, as always, to my fellow Americans…but also to the entire Muslim world, from those who think theirs is a religion of peace…to the perpetrators of the ongoing insanity of blasphemy laws, jihads, and fatwas – all of you who call yourselves Muslims.

I want to talk to you about the recent resurgence of Muslim insanity.  Actually, most of Islam is insanity, but the same is true of all religions, and that’s beside the point.

Sometimes Muslims just go…

Hamza Kashgari: "satanic tweets" result in calls for the death penalty

Until last weekend 23 years old Kashgari Hamza was just a young and upcoming journalist from Saudi Arabia with quite a fan base following him not only in the newspapers but also on twitter. Currently he is a man who has to fear for his life with a saudi government prohibiting all newspapers from publishing any texts by Kashgari. More than 10.000 people on facebook demand his death and it is…

Calls to Behead Indonesian Atheist Alexander Aan

Any belief system that threatens you with (physical) violence is morally bankrupt.

Blasphemy is a right (says the UN)

What a lucky day. By chance i found something that obviously escaped my notice before and which i haven't found much reported in the media either.

Already last month the UN issued a statement concerning the freedom of speech in relation with the human rights convention.

 

Here is the good part (emphasis mine):

Pakistan's deadly blasphemy-seeking vigilantes

Mustafa Qadri argues that the blasphemy laws of Pakistan are just as much a threat as the Taliban.
After reading his article i can't but agree.


Something that caught my eye in the text however was the following passage:

Pakistan: decline into barbarism?

Over the past months i have posted about Pakistan for several times. Especially the blasphemy laws caused and cause much trouble in this country.

The real question however is not if there is such a law and how to get rid of it but rather if such a law is backed by the people or not.



No matter what you think about such a law, if the people themselves want such a law, if the society that resides in a country is one that causes such laws then it is not the law that poses the main… Continue

Youtube had me banished by my family for blasphemy lol

I am a minor Youtube personality with about 210 thousand views. Over the past couple months I made two videos which had me ex-communicated from my family. One of their emails that was sent to me on Facebook is now actually one of my favorite quotes on Facebook "I had to delete you for blasphemy". Below are the links to them, I had them unlisted because I didn't want them to cause trouble in my work in case any religious apologist try to use them to prove I am intolerant or disrespectful to…

Pakistan again: Doctor arrested for blasphemy

Following we have a demonstration of where stupidity in unison with religious laws can lead.

A doctor in Pakistan was arrested for blasphemy. What did that guy do?

Did he insult the "prophet" directly?

Did he make derogative remarks about Allah or Islam?

No. Far…

Major Turning Point!

Well that may be a little exaggeration but this week something happened that certainly adds (or ads) a new dimension to our secular battles. For the first time, a commercial enterprise is using a blasphemous theme in its marketing efforts. More importantly the marketing is targeted directly at those who are most susceptible to infection - children and adolescents! Take a look at this link:…

Ireland Reverts to the Good Auld Days

It seems that in the Republic of Ireland, a truly characteristic Irish law has been passed: viz.: to “defame” or poke fun at ANY religion is now “blasphemy”, and hence illegal!



I quote: "A person who publishes or utters blasphemous matter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding 25,000 euro."



Furthermore, "a person publishes or utters blasphemous matter if (a) he or she publishes or utters matter… Continue
