A few stray thoughts.... #Hindu #Muslim #blasphemy #censorship
#Hamline University recently egregiously infringed on #AcademicFreedom by firing a professor for showing devotional historical Muslim images that some conservative modern Muslims find offensive.
On fact value, the firing is outrageous.
Academic Freedom trumps religious sentiments, always. If it didn't, we couldn't teach the humanities.
But consider the other implications here...

From Munawar Faruqui to Nupur Sharma, a dangerous, troubling pattern is beginning to emerge. It threatens our democracy and secular nature. #SupremeCourtOfIndia
A Supreme Court bench asking Nupur Sharma to apologise is problematic for multiple reasons. By so definitively condemning her at this preliminary stage, the bench has likely prejudiced the minds of those who will deal with her at lower rungs of the judiciary.
This is not the first time a judge dealing with incidental proceedings in a Section 295A case has jumped the gun and made conclusory remarks. The same happened in the case of Munawar Faruqui. #SupremeCourtOfIndia
1. Yes, the Stones are Flying!
The patriarchs, Hindus, ortho-binary patriarchs can't understand a simple fact. Muslims are minority in India & minority can do no wrong. It is a theoretical fact intersectional universe. Which means that it can never be violated.

2. So when somebody tells you that Muslims are rioting in India’s streets. First of all, you should never believe him. And you should report instead him/her/ other pronouns to the police for spreading communal violence by misleading accusations.
3. If they show you some video of Muslims rioting then do know that it is Hindus in skull-caps doing the dance of communal violence. If you see some known Muslims inciting violence and hatred then know that they have been hypnotized to do that.

کافی دن ہوئے میانوالی کے ایک بزرگ پیر سید فیروز شاہ صاحب نے دلچسپ خود پر بیتا قصہ سنایا۔ آپ بھی سن لیجیے:
65 والی جنگ کے دنوں میں ہمارے والد صاحب بڑے بھائی کے لیے بہت پریشان تھے جو سندھ میں انسپکٹر پولیس تھے۔ والد صاحب نے مجھے زاد راہ دے کر بھیجا کہ
65 والی جنگ کے دنوں میں ہمارے والد صاحب بڑے بھائی کے لیے بہت پریشان تھے جو سندھ میں انسپکٹر پولیس تھے۔ والد صاحب نے مجھے زاد راہ دے کر بھیجا کہ
کم از کم بھائی کے بیوی بچوں کو میانوالی لے آو۔ میں ان دنوں تعلیم سے فارغ التحصیل ہو کر فارغ تھا چنانچہ والد صاحب کے حکم پر روانہ ہوا۔ وہاں پہنچ کر بھائی صاحب کو والد صاحب کے حکم سے آگاہ کیا بھائی صاحب کہنے لگے والد صاحب سے کہنا کہ فکر نہ کریں، یہاں کوئی ایسی کیفیت نہیں ہے۔
میں اور میرا خاندان محفوظ ہیں اگر ایسی صورت حال دکھی تو میں ایسا ہی کروں گاجیسا وہ چاہتے ہیں۔ واپسی پر بھائی صاحب مجھے چھوڑنے سٹیشن آے اور فرسٹ کلاس کا ٹکٹ میرے ہاتھ میں تھما کر واپس چلے گئے۔ پلیٹ فارم پر پہنچا تو ٹرین وسل دے کر قدم بڑھا چکی تھی۔ بھاگم بھاگ ایک ڈبے کا ڈنڈا پکڑ کر

2 factory workers Talha & Furhan, part of the bigger lynch mob explain why they burnt alive the Sri Lankan manager on #blasphemy suspicions. They refused to work unless the management did something about their complaint & when it didn't, they decided to kill the man. #Sialkot
*Zaleel khwar kar k waasil e jahanum kar chadya*. We sent him to hell. These young lynchers are brainwashed into thinking that TLP's word on practicing Islam is the ultimate truth. TLP has mainstreamed radicalisation. Feel terrible for those exposed to their narrative. #Sialkot
As per vids uploaded from Sialkot, sr manager of Rajco Industry tore off a paper w/ words Labbaik Ya Hussain. Factory workers Talha, Furhan complained & decided on the spot to kill the SriLankan national. Here they quoted the Tehreek Labbaik's call for murder & other slogans. 👇🏽
These 2 young men in the photo above are claiming to be part of the lynch mob which complained against the SL manager of Rajco & then dragged him out to burn him to death, and are using Tehreek Labbaik's violence inciting narrative to justify why they did it. Speechless. #Sialkot
This is the 2nd lynch mob attempting to kill a #blasphemy suspect in #Pakistan within a week. 1st lynch mob was deobandi in Charsadda, which set police posts on fire. Wrote about Pakistan's normalisation of blasphemy lynch mobs over the decades here:

The fiery Pakistani Islamists seen in the photo below (via @nytimes) are misquoting the #Quran.
Verse 8:59 that they apparently sloganized to justify "killing blasphemers" - their big passion - has nothing to do with punishing blasphemy...

The verse says, "Those who disbelieve think they will escape; they will not."
According to great the Sunni exegete Fakhr al-Din al-Razi, this may be a reference to a punishment by God in the afterlife - not by Muslims on earth.
And even the latter option isn't about blasphemy.

And even the latter option isn't about blasphemy.
Because the context of the verse makes it clear that these specific "Those who disbelieve" were Meccan polytheists who attacked and persecuted Muslims in the first place.
No wonder 2 verses later, in 8:61, we read:
"if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also]."

"IF"
If we get another 60-day Cycle that continues Oct-20 trend to $80k-$100k, then I believe we're going top with sizable 40-50% correction, that takes MANY (4-6) months to consolidate.
The entire 60-day cycle gain would be erased. Prefer 60-day consolidation from this point

Contributed to @Guardian Podcast 'Today In Focus': The murder of schoolteacher Samuel #Paty who had shown his class #cartoons of the prophet #Muhammad has rekindled a debate in #France over #secularism & the state’s role in regulating #FreeSpeech. (21'-29')
I emphasise that we can discuss the general problem of hateful #cartoons about the Prophet #Muhammad & his Muslim followers that spread collective guilt & humiliate often underprivileged #minority communities beyond acts of barbaric #terrorism. #Racism #Islamophobia #CharlieHebdo
I think that @EmmanuelMacron acted in a manner that was rash & unstatesmanlike following the vile murder of Samuel #Paty. He has effectively incorporated #cartoons mocking #Islam into its domestic policies. He defended them as part of French culture & #France’s global image.

Many #Muslims want to see (even enforce) a world without any #blasphemy against Islam, any offense.
But that is NOT going to happen - as the #Quran tells us in 3:186. It rather tells that Muslims will SURELY hear "much abuse" from others.
In return, it just advises #patience.

And how this #patience looks like?
The #Quran specifies that in 6:68 and then 4:140. It just says "do not sit with" those who mock your faith.
Today, perhaps it could also mean don't buy their publications, don't follow them on social media.
No killing. Not even censorship.

In other words, as I noted before (as in the linked piece) there is absolutely no basis in the Qur'an for attacking blasphemers, even silencing them.
The problem, as in the case of apostasy, only comes from post-Quranic texts - all open to doubt & debate.

The Pakistan Tehreek Insaf #PTI government on Tuesday introduced the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2020 in the National Assembly to make intentional ridiculing and defaming the armed forces as a punishable crime.
In June this year the National Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution making it mandatory to write ‘Khatam-un-Nabiyeen’ along with Prophet Muhammad’s name in official documents, books and wherever the holy name is used.
