Charged with insulting Islam

lundi 17 juin 2013 à 14:00

Libyans who published a cartoon in favor of women's rights are being charged with "insulting Islam", plus similar crimes that amount to excuses for censorship. They could be executed.

If this is what Islam means, mere insults are not enough to do justice to it.

We should not defend them by arguing that the cartoon did not mention Muhammad, since that grants undue legitimacy to the idea that they would be wrong if they had.
