So in case you haven't heard the news,
a couple days ago a guy in Denmark was arrested for something he said on Facebook. But, what did he post? Well it wasn't terrorist propaganda... It wasn't white supremacy or al-queda support... It was a criticism of Islamic ideals.
The man was fined $240, and will not be sent to prison thankfully, but this isn't the first time people have been arrested for voicing an opinion. Repeat offenders could be sent to prison over this. Not only that but the man has no ability to challenge this harmful decision as the fine is too small to be taken to a higher-level court.
"According to the court decision, pointing out the totalitarian and cruel aspects of Islam itself is now a criminal offense, considered "insulting and demeaning" to Muslims in Denmark and therefore constituting 'racism.'"
This entire situation as a whole is ridiculous enough on its own, like how this criticism is supposedly "tribal." Beyond the fact that that makes absolutely no sense, the decision the court has made has effectively made a blasphemy law, one which will strike down anyone who dares to speak out against Islamic beliefs.
This is a hilariously hypocritical decision as well, as many times Muslims on facebook have said things such as (Not a generalization, this is an
extreme example) "All non-muslims are animals" and other loveist and hateful messages without so much as a slap on the wrist.
