Jordan's attempt at criminalizing free speech beyond its own borders wouldn't be so serious if it were an isolated case. Unfortunately, it is part of a larger campaign to use the law and international forums to intimidate critics of militant Islam.

Well, I can't see a problem with that at all.

Mohammed (MHBH) was basically a bandit chieftain looking to set up a religion optimally crafted for controlling increasingly large confederations of bandit tribes. The main problem today is that the bandit-tribe model of society is no longer workable given our technology.

The way you react to this crap from the Jordanians is to fight back with reason and a cry for basic human rights.

Islam is the only world religion that maintains the right to kill others in the name of that religion. It is a violation of every civilized nation’s constitution and the freedom of speech and the right for individuals to worship as they desire.

Islam demands the death of those Muslims who convert to another religion. That alone would make its presence illegal in any Western Nation. It certainly violates OUR U.S.Constitution and I fervently believe we have every legal right to demand from Muslims within our border, and internationally, that they change their religion, periold. Or Muslims will be deported from the United States immediately and never allowed to enter again.

This is not ever going to stop.
It is heading to a nuclear conflagration sooner or later. Let’s get it done on our terms.

I wonder if the Jordanians ever read Free Republic.

Ping!

Stop attacking my Muslim faith.

Ya can see our judges referencing this decision on some of their future decisions.
And Sandra Day says our judges shouldn’t have to live in fear.

The prosecutor general in Amman charged the 12 with blasphemy, demeaning Islam and Muslim feelings, and slandering and insulting the prophet Muhammad in violation of the Jordanian Penal Code. The charges are especially unusual because the alleged violations were not committed on Jordanian soil.

A lot of words to say “they are pissing into the wind”...

I wonder if I could get the Jordanians to charge me too? That group of 12 seems like good company.

Sorry, but when I started reading this, I figured it was happening in either Europe or America. Well, it's a bunch of Europeans thinking that freedom applies in an islammunist country. This is about as smart as me going into the inner city and screaming the N-word as loudly as I can.

The only thing these Europeans are proving is that no matter how 'moderate' an islammofascist state proclaims to be, they're all just Saudi Arabia with different geography. I knew that already, doesn't everyone here realize it, too?

All the more reason to get off foreign imports of oil ASAP, and quarantine these Muslim countries.
