    Islamic Censorship:

    Blasphemy Law

    eliance of the Traveller is the all purpose handbook of Shari'ah. Book O deals with "Justice", includingam's blasphemy law. O8.0 specifies the punishment for apostasy. Apostates are executed.

    Chapter O8.0 : Apostasy from Islam (Ridda)

    (O: Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst. It may come about throughsarcasm, as when someone is told, ``Trim your nails, it is sunna,'' and he replies, ``I would not doit even if it were,'' as opposed to when some circumstance exists which exonerates him of havingcommitted apostasy, such as when his tongue runs away with him, or when he is quoting

    someone, or says it out of fear.)

    O8.1

    When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, hedeserves to be killed.

    O8.2

    In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representive) to ask him to repent andreturn to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.

    8.7 lists twenty acts and attitudes which entail apostasy.

    O8.7 : Acts that Entail Leaving Islam

    (O: Among the things that entail apostasy from Islam (may Allah protect us from them) are:

    -1- to prostrate to an idol, whether sarcastically, out of mere contrariness, or in actual conviction,like that of someone who believes the Creator to be something that has originated in time. Likeidols in this respect are the sun or moon, and like prostration is bowing to other than Allah, if oneintends reverence towards it like the reverence due to Allah;

    -2- to intend to commit unbelief, even if in the future. And like this intention is hesitatingwhether to do so or not: one thereby immediately commits unbelief;

    -3- to speak words that imply unbelief such as ``Allah is the third of three,'' or ``I am Allah''-unless one's tongue has run away with one, or one is quoting another, or is one of the friends of Allah Most High (wali, def: w33) in a spiritually intoxicated state of total oblivion (A: friend of Allah or not, someone totally oblivious is as if insane, and is not held legally responsible (dis:k13.1(O:) ) ), for these latter do not entail unbelief;

    -4- to revile Allah or His messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace);

    -5- to deny the existence of Allah, His beginingless eternality, His endless eternality, or to denyany of His attributes which the consensus of Muslims ascribes to Him (dis: v1);

    -6- to be sarcastic about Allah's name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat;

    -7- to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def: b7) belongs toit, or to add a verse that does belong to it;

    -8- to mockingly say, ``I don't know what faith is'';

    -9- to reply to someone who says, ``There is no power or strength save through Allah''; ``Yoursaying `There's no power or strength, etc,' won't save you from hunger'';

    -10- for a tyrant, after an oppressed person says, ``This is through the decree of Allah,'' to reply,``I act without the decree of Allah'';

    -11- to say that a Muslim is an unbeliever (kafir) (dis: w47) in words that are uninterpretable asmerely meaning he is an ingrate towards Allah for divinely given blessings (n: in Arabic, also``kafir'');

    -12- when someone asks to be taught the Testification of Faith (Ar. Shahada, the words, ``Lailaha ill Allahu Muhammadun rasulu Llah'' (There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is theMessenger of Allah) ), and a Muslim refuses to teach him it;

    -13- to describe a Muslim or someone who wants to become a Muslim in terms of unbelief (kufr);

    -14- to deny the obligatory character of something which by the consensus of Muslims (ijma`,def: B7) is part of Islam, when it is well known as such, like the prayer (salat) or even one rak'afrom one of the five obligatory prayers, if there is no excuse (def: u2.4);

    -15- to hold that any of Allah's messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent;

    (n: `Ala' al-din' Abidin adds the following:

    -16- to revile the religion of Islam;

    -17- to believe that things in themselves or by their own nature have any causal influenceindependent of the will of Allah;

    -18- to deny the existence of angels or jinn (def: w22), or the heavens;

    -19- to be sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law;

    -20- or to deny that Allah intended the Prophet's message (Allah bless him and give him peace) tobe the religion followed by the entire world (dis: w4.3-4) (al-Hadiyya al-`Ala'iyya (y4), 423-24). )

    There are others, for the subject is nearly limitless. May Allah Most High save us and allMuslims from it.)

    ow does that apply to us?

    Since we are not Muslims, that should not apply to us. But Shari'ah is imposed upon peopletimidated or conquered by Islam. Conquered and intimidated Jews & Chistians are placed under aaty of protection, which, being violated by certain acts listed in Reliance 911.10, exposes the violatora harsh penalty.

    O11.10

    The agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulatedthat any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if thestate has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of thesubject people:

    -1- commits adultery with a Muslim woman or marries her;

    -2- conceals spies of hostile forces;

    -3- leads a Muslim away from Islam;

    -4- kills a Muslim;

    -5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give himpeace), or Islam.

    O11.11

    When a subject's agreement with the state has been violated, the caliph chooses between the fouralternatives mentioned above in connection with prisoners of war (o9.14).

    If you revile Moe, Allah or Islam, deny any part of the Qur'an or any part of Shari'ah, you are to benished. The punishment is specified in section 9.14.

    O9.14

    When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph (def: o25) considers the interests (O: of Islam andthe Muslims) and decides between the prisoner's death, slavery, release without paying anything,

    or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy.

    If the prisoner becomes a Muslim (O: before the caliph chooses any of the four alternatives) thenhe may not be killed, and one of the other three alternatives is chosen.

    he bottom line: criticizing Islam carries the death penalty.

    ut we ain't conquered

    Not yt, but our elected leaders have been intimidated. Each year the United Nations Generalssembly and Human Rights Council pass resolutions condemning "defamation of religions" andlling upon member states to criminalize criticism of Islam.

    The last two resolutions dropped explicit reference to defamation, substituting "negative stereotypingpersons", but the net effect is the same. The new meme is "consequences": if you burn a Qur'an anduslims riot in Pakistan, you will be subject to civil and criminal penalties. The State Department isoperating with the OIC to implement HRC 16/18 through the Istanbull Process.

    Meanwhile, below the radar, the Ad Hoc Committee on Elaboration of Complementary andards . is working on a binding protocol to ICERD, which will make Islamic blasphemy lawsternationally and nationally enforcible.

    This quote from the Daily Caller serves as a wake up call.Will you tell us that this administrations Department of Justice will never entertain or advance aproposal that criminalizes speech against any religion? Frank asked four times.

    Perez refused to answer, saying it is a hard question, in the sense that when you make threats against
