Muhammad is a Jew man.

Paedophile.

Muhammad was not jewish/hebrew - he was an arab. Jews/hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, Abyssinians and Phoenicians all spoke Semitic languages like hebrew/arabic/phoenician/ge'ez/aramaic, and it's pretty obvious from Muhammad's hometown of Mecca

Also what has muhammad being a jew (which he wasn't) got to do with anything?

US report says Bangladesh minorities are terrified
Tribune DeskPublished at 01:09 PM April 28, 2017



Violent attacks on the minorities are often followed by land grabbing and Hindus say they believe they are particularly vulnerable targets of illegal land seizures.Mahmud Hossain Opu/Dhaka Tribune

Religious minorities have faced repeated attacks after the 2014 national election.

A sharp spike in attacks, particularly on religious minorities and foreigners, in recent months in Bangladesh has heightened the sense of fear among different religious groups in the country, says a report of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

The attacks on religious minorities, particularly the Hindus, were either claimed by extremist groups – Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Ansar al-Islam, and Islamic State – or were attributed to them.

“In response to the attacks, the Bangladeshi government has shown some political will to investigate and arrest perpetrators, provide protection to likely targets, and actively combat extremist and terrorist groups,” the USCIRF report says.

But the government and the police often fail to investigate the land grabbing issues.

The USCIRF’s 2017 Annual Report, published on April 26, has documented religious freedom violations in 37 countries, makes country-specific recommendations, and assessed the US government’s implementation of the International Religious Freedom Act.

In a statement, USCIRF Chair Thomas Reese said: “The Commission has concluded that the state of affairs for international religious freedom is worsening in both the depth and breadth of violations.”

The USCIRF made a number of recommendations to the US including providing technical assistance and encourage Bangladesh to further develop its national counter-terrorism strategy.
It also suggests urging Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and government officials to “frequently and publicly denounce religiously divisive language and acts of religiously motivated violence and harassment.”

The report recommends the US assist Bangladesh train local government officials, police officers, and judges on international human rights standards, as well as how to investigate and adjudicate religiously motivated violent acts.
Bangladesh’s religious minorities have faced repeated attacks after the 2014 national election, most of which were attributed to people and groups associated with the BNP and the Jamaat-e-Islami, the report says.

Last year’s killing of several Hindu priests, a Rajshahi University professor, a blogger, and a Christian man have raised fears among the people, it adds.

At least 15 temples and more than 200 houses were damaged when a mob attacked Hindu-dominated Nasirnagar in late October.
The government arrested or charged more than 1,000 people over the incident while the ruling Awami League suspended three of its local leaders for their involvement in the attacks.

Although the report mentions the July 8 terror attack near the Sholakia Eid grounds, it does not say anything about the July 1 Dhaka cafe attack in which 22 people, including 17 foreigners, were killed.

The government has increased protection for religious minority communities, especially around religious holidays and festivals, it says.
Violent attacks on the minorities are often followed by land grabbing and Hindus say they believe they are particularly vulnerable targets of illegal land seizures.

“Local governments and police often fail to investigate violent attacks that accompany landgrabs because their colleagues are implicated,” the report claimed.

The process to reclaim vested property is “cumbersome and confusing,” the minority communities say, and that many properties are not eligible for return or compensation under the Vested Property Return Act.

Minority communities say they believe the government has not provided enough training and equipment to police and report that political parties continue to use “religiously divisive rhetoric” for political gains.

Atheists, non-muslims, women's rights activists and now ethnic/religious minorities are being attacked by the salafist dogs. The wahhabist plague continues to grip Bangladesh.

true2god:
@ CyrusThegreat, don't tell anybody that I told you this (*whispering*): Mohammed and allahh is the same person. Mohammed only impersonated allahh for his personal benefit.

Indeed.

Bump

Loooool the dumb muslims in this thread trying to apologise for the prophet Muhammed sexually assaulting a 9 year old girl and marrying his stepson's wife.

"sexually mature 9 year old" No he was simply a rapist pedophile you stupid goldfish-brained motherfvckers. Your Quran was written by bloodthirsty backwards semitic men from hundreds of years ago who thought that the earth was flat, not gods. It is not infallible.

BWare:
Stop stirring religious hatred… focus and practice your religion and stop interfering with others beliefs

It's not religious hatred, it's exposing Muhammed for the disgusting wretched dog of a man that he is, instead of the blatantly incorrect depiction of a peaceful ubermensch that muslims love to think of him as.

Jesus had some ignorant/crazy verses too (e.g. condemning all villages who did not listen to him to death, sentencing a fig tree to death lol, etc.) but Muhammed was much, much worse.

Muhammad was a rapist pedophile mass-murderer who used 'divine revelations' to make excuses for his own greed.
Stop stirring religious ignorance.


Islam is a religion of war and allah is a war god. Islam is one of the only religions of antiquity (Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Manichaeism, Buddhism, etc.) to so heavily incorporate political laws, government framework and religion. Even in some of the most extremely Christian states where non-christians were massacred for not holding the Christian faith, there was still always a disconnect between the church and the state, if ever so slightly. In Islam the religion and the state were one and the same, and the religion almost only ever spread through invasion, rape, slavery, murder and subjugation (In Christianity's case, this only happened after they became a major religion, unlike Islam which was spread by the sword from the very beginning. Other religions like Manichaeism were almost always spread peacefully). At the end of the day islam is just another crackpot arabic religion that got enough murderers behind it to spread throughout Central Asia and Africa.

Bro,
Homosexuality is associated with not only Hiv but many others.
This is not a new topic.

Read the first sentence. You are obviously using disease as a smokescreen for your faith-based dislike of homosexuals.

Iceland has some of the highest academic achievers on planet earth.

I think if homosexuality posed such a dangerous epidemic risk to Icelandic society, you'd see more written about it outside of crackpot ChrIstlam blogs.

Just shift abeg.
If you dont know the relationship between homosexuality and Human papiloma virus and other cancer linked organizms
Sorry

Mate it's pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that you're just using disease as a cover for your religiously driven detestment of homosexuals.

Homosexuality has been legal for a long time in Iceland, and contrary to the beliefs of you and your pastors, AIDS levels are actually dropping: http://icelandreview.com/news/2013/10/28/large-decrease-hiv-infection-rate-iceland

Due to proper hygiene, medical checkups and, above all, a near nonexistent amount of HIV-carrying people within the population. Despite Iceland having a thriving gay community, AIDS infected people for less than 0.01% of Iceland's 330,823 strong population. There is a reason HIV was renamed from GRIDS - because homosexuals are not the cause, nor are they the primary spreaders of the disease.

Iceland remains one of the most gay friendly countries on earth to live in, with a recent Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, who was the first openly gay head of state in history (or at least in modern history). (https://guidetoiceland.is/history-culture/a-bit-about-gay-iceland)

More imagery of Melek Taus/Satan, the "peacock angel" of the Yazidi people.

[img]https://encyclopediasatanica.files./2013/08/melektaus1.jpg[/img]

Melek Taus, the version of Satan worshipped by the Yazidis of Iraq. The Yazidi are an ancient religious sect dedicated to the worship of the fallen angel Lucifer, seeing him not as a demonic monster bent of corrupting humanity, but as a willful angel who refused to submit to the dictation of the 'higher power' (read: abrahamic god) like the other angels. It is one of the only real original 'satanist' groups known of from antiquity.

Melek Taus (Satan), in Yazidi culture is known as the "peacock angel" due to his angelic wings being made of Peacock feathers.


The Yazidi people currently are in grave danger as ISIS extremists have launched a genocide against them in Northern Iraq, taking away thousands of Yazidi lives, destroying Yazidi temples and culture, sexually assaulting Yazidis, and forcing Yazidis to flee over the border to Turkey, Iran and Europe.

And I guess this god just didn't have any lions to spare for the hundreds of other Christians and Muslims who were murdered by terrorists...?

LionDeLeo:
Op, your efforts at generating problems is noted.

Since you opened this , that is what you have been doing.

You mean making topics to spark debate on religious views? Isn't that partially the point of the religious section?

Are we not allowed to make posts criticising the Quran? I saw a bunch of muslims in an earlier thread claiming that the Jesus narrative was more rational in the Quran than in the Bible - are they generating problems? (In fact, those posts are what made me post this).

I think you seem less engaged in the topic and criticism brought up in this thread, and more engaged in attacking me personally for what you see as an afront to your religion. Not very fair and not very open-minded.

LionDeLeo:
Tomorrow, if your effort is blessed with problem/crisis, you will start singing a song about how Christians are always victims.

I am not a Christian. I am not even religious. Do not think that because I am criticising the origins of the Jesus narrative in Islam that I am attempting to proselytise and bring people to Christianity (The same cannot be said of many muslims who critique the Bible, however).

LionDeLeo:
Certainly, this is how most of you started and end up doing same offline and when properly served, you start shouting blue murder.

I have no idea what you're talking about here.

It ain't your fault, it is the fault of nairaland management that allows problem-spinning names like this to still be ed on the platform.

Muhammad’s Just In Time Revelations

January 14, 2016 Abdullah Sameer

Does the Quran show that Muhammad made up revelations in order to benefit himself and to respond to situations in his life or do we see it being the ultimate work of a creator from above?

For a book that claims to be from God, the uncreated word of Allah that comes from above the seven heavens before the universe was created, it strangely seems to come quite conveniently to Muhammad’s rescue time after time. From getting involved in his marital problems to giving him special permissions and moral justifications to fulfill his personal needs and desires.

First of all we must that the Quran is timeless and uncreated. It was revealed by Allah in entirety to the lowest heaven into the lawhil mahfoodh (preserved tablets), long before the creation of the universe. To even claim that the Quran is created is a major sin and could take a person out of Islam.

Despite this, many of the verses in the Quran seem to have been revealed JUST for Prophet Muhammad’s convenience and even involve seemingly petty or private household matters that could have been resolved without God’s involvement.

A bunch of his companions came to his house and they stayed too long, but he felt embarrassed to tell them to leave, so Allah himself decided to let them know to go home!

O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allah is not shy of the truth. (33:53)

Now that’s interesting. God himself comes to your rescue to tell your guests to go home.

Now look at this next example, the second wife of Prophet Muhammad, Sauda, was a big lady, and she was getting old. Sauda got scared that Prophet Muhammad might divorce her (because she was less attractive and more old now compared to the young and beautiful Aisha and some of his other wives), so she told Prophet Muhammad that she would give up her night with him (because Prophet Muhammad used to have one night with each wife) in order that he would remain her husband and continue to provide for her materially. Infact she even gave up her day with him while travelling

“Sawdah feared that the Prophet (ﷺ) was going to divorce her, so she said: ‘Do not divorce me, but keep me and give my day to ‘Aishah.’ So he (ﷺ) did so, and the following was revealed: Then there is no sin on them both if they make of peace between themselves, and making peace is better (4:128). So whatever they agree to make peace in something then it is permissible.” (Tirmidhi)

Prophet Muhammad being the kind, honourable, noble husband, and man of God of course told her that he would never take away her night and would never divorce her. Actually, scratch that, he accepted her offer to sleep with young pretty Aisha instead and not spend time with Sauda as she was an unattractive old lady who probably didnt need sex, right? Does this personality seem to befit a Prophet of God?

Allah revealed a verse saying its okay for him to do that – because I guess it seemed unfair, so God wanted to make sure nobody thinks this is unfair to Sauda.

You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive whom you will. And whomsoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily), it is no sin on you (to receive her again), that is better; that they may be comforted and not grieved, and may all be pleased with what you give them. God knows what is in your hearts. And God is Ever All-Knowing, Most Forbearing. (33:51)

Aisha herself found this quite interesting, that Allah revealed things in favour of Prophet Muhammad’s desires:

Narrated Aisha: I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s Apostle and I used to say, “Can a lady give herself (to a man)?” But when Allah revealed: “You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).’ (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

There is also the obvious example that Prophet Muhammad got a special exception from Allah (Quran 33:50) to marry as many women as he wanted that no other man was allowed.

There is also the story of Zainab, and how it is mentioned in the seerah she was married to Zaid, but Prophet Muhammad he saw her and fell in love with her. This story is also mentioned in the biography of Muhammad by Martin Lings. Hamza Yusuf said he wished that Martin Lings wouldn’t have mentioned this story. Also Yasir Qadhi said that this is one of the most problematic stories and biggest criticisms against Prophet Muhammad made by the non Muslim scholars of Islam. The reason why is because it looks like from the story that Prophet Muhammad caused the breakup between Zaid and Zainab.

Anyway, back to the story, once Zaid divorced her, Allah married them in heaven without any ceremony, wali (male relative), or maher (marital gift), and so Prophet Muhammad marched right into her house even though she wasn’t wearing hijab or dressed for guests. (See link at bottom for more details on this complete story). The following hadith talks about it in summary:

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the ‘Iddah (waiting period after divorce before remarriage) of Zainab was over, Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to Zaid to make a mention to her about him. Zaid went on until he came to her and she was fermenting her flour. He (Zaid) said: As I saw her I felt in my heart an idea of her greatness so much so that I could not see towards her (simply for the fact) that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) had made a mention of her. So I turned my back towards her, and I turned upon my heels, and said: Zainab, Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) has sent (me) with a message to you. She said: I do not do anything until I solicit the will of my Lord. So she stood at her place of worship and the (verse of) the Qur’an (pertaining to her marriage) was revealed, and Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) came to her without permission… (Muslim)

Zainab even used to boast about how God married them. He just was instantly married to her and walked into her home!

Zainab bint Jahsh used to boast to the other wives of the Prophet and say: “Allah married me to him from above the Heavens.” And the Verse of Hijab was revealed concerning her. (An Nasai)

Some of the scholars even boast about how Prophet Muhammad was given any woman he wanted, unmarried or even married (reference needed).

Another example of Allah getting involved and helping Muhammad in his marital problems is when Aisha and Hafsa teamed up against him and then Allah revealed that he will replace all of them with better women if they don’t behave themselves:

And () when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives (Hafsah), so when she told it (to another i.e. ‘Aishah), and God made it known to him, he informed part thereof and left a part. Then when he told her (Hafsah) thereof, she said: “Who told you this?” He said: “The All-Knower, the All-Aware (God) has told me”. If you two (wives of the Prophet , namely ‘Aishah and Hafsah) turn in repentance to God, (it will be better for you), your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes), but if you help one another against him (Muhammad), then verily, God is his Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.), and Jibrael (Gabriel), and the righteous among the believers, and furthermore, the angels are his helpers. It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you, Muslims (who submit to God), believers, obedient to God, turning to God in repentance, worshipping God sincerely, fasting or emigrants (for God’s sake), previously married and virgins.” (Quran 66:3-5)

Another interesting example is when Omar made suggestions to Prophet Muhammad, and then miraculously “Allah” revealed the same thing. Omar used to actually boast about how Allah “agreed with him” on these matters. One of them was at Makkah taking the Sanctuary of Ibrahim as a place of prayer, the second was regarding the wives of the prophet wearing hijab, and the third was that he told the Prophet if your wives don’t listen to you, Allah will give you better wives. In all these three cases it seems like Allah really liked these suggestions and decided to include it in the Quran.

Umar said:
My Lord agreed with me in three things:

1. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two rak`at of Tawaf of Ka`ba)”. (2.125)

2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.’ So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.

3. Once the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) made a united front against the Prophet (ﷺ) and I said to them, ‘It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.’ So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed.” (66.5).

(Bukhari)
There are other examples of course, especially related to the Muslim community, but these examples above show how the revelation of the Quran greatly benefited the personal individual of Muhammad and gave him authority over people in a way that nobody else had.

seunlly:
op your point

That Islam copied the tale of Jesus Christ using later fabricated gospels, made hundreds of years after the gospels of the new testament, that had circulated around the Arabian peninsula around the time of Muhammad, and Muhammad included these stories into the Quran, despite the fact that the story of Jesus clashes with the nature of god and the narrative of the Quran.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptt96NVk_Vs

Jesus in Islam seems to be a character that doesn't fit in. He has a virgin birth yet God is not his father. The idea of the virgin birth was copied from Christianity whereas it wasn't in the oldest gospel. He has miracles speaking as a baby and making clay birds to life that seem to be directly taken from the infancy gospel of thomas which is considered an unreliable story. The Quran claims there is 1 injeel or gospel but this doesnt match what we know about Christianity.

Muslims believe that Islam sets the record straight and corrects the misconceptions about Jesus and all the other prophets, but we have to ask, what is the evidence for this?

Allah simply decided out of millions of babies born every year that he would make one of them without a father.
The Virgin Birth was a later Christian idea
The idea of Jesus having a virgin birth – This story does not exist in the oldest Gospel Mark, but actually appears later on in the gospel of Matthew and Luke. When we look at the 4 gospels in order from oldest (Mark) to newest, we see how Jesus goes from barely a hint of being God in Mark to “In the beginning Jesus was God” in John which is the last gospel. If it was clear that Jesus had a virgin birth, why didnt Mark mention it? Why was it not mentioned until Matthew, 70 years after the supposed event.

This idea of virgin birth has been around in antiquity, Horus in ancient Egypt being born to the virgin Isis and many other stories. This is how religions come about, they copy each other.

Muhammad took an idea that was invented to promote Jesus being God (having a virgin birth) and included it in the Quran.

Jesus The Messiah
This point goes against both Christianity and Islam. The Messiah is supposed to be a King, to bring peace to the world, gather the Jewish people from their exile to the land of Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem

Jesus was crucified or appeared to be crucified
Many of these things used to confuse me in Islam. What does it mean that Jesus is the “messiah” for example? the Jews (of which Jesus was one) were waiting for a messiah, a king, to rule over them and establish a just kingdom of God. According to history. Jesus supposedly was the messiah, and was killed for this claim. He was killed like a common criminal. It’s a failed prophecy. However, according to Islam, Allah tricked the people into thinking he was crucified, thus creating the biggest religion of false worship on the planet.

The idea of a messiah being killed makes no sense because he was supposed to be the ruler. This was troubling to the followers of Jesus who decided to change their dogma to claim that he was supposed to be crucified. Most of these points are explained well by Bart Ehrman in “How Jesus became God” (long video, 3 parts, but worth watching).

The Injeel or Gospel of Jesus
Jesus is described in the Quran as having been sent with a revealed book

Well, nowhere to be found. No trace of it. If God sent Jesus with a revelation, either a book or an oral recitation like the Quran, its totally gone. It’s hard to believe such a revelation existed and then suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Much less important documents have survived such as the infancy gospel of Thomas, the Dead Sea scrolls and others, yet the entire Injeel of Jesus was completely lost? Strange…
So if Jesus did not come with a revealed book called “the gospel”, what exactly is the gospel? Well there’s not one, but four gospels. The four gospels are considered the inspired word of God written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Little is known about these authors but they were Greek speaking Christians who 40-100 years after the death of Jesus wrote these books. Christians believe these men were inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak on behalf of God, not that they received verbatim revelation from God (like the Quran claims to be). Is it possible Muhammad mistakenly understood the Christian idea of “injeel” and included it in the Quran?

The Infancy Gospel stories
Interestingly, certain doubtful stories that were available at the time ended up in the Quran.
What other stories did he include in the Quran that we found?

The story of Jesus making clay birds and making them come alive come from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas which was written mid- to late-2nd century which was written to show more miracles of Jesus.

The story of Jesus speaking as an infant, come from the Syriac Infancy Gospel, which was written 5th-6th century and was based on the earlier Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

Most Christians reject this story as a complete forgery. Interestingly this document was originally written in Syriac (a language similar to Arabic) and available at Muhammad’s time in the 6th century.

In conclusion Muhammad took the stories of Jesus that were available to him and fit them into the Quran in order to make his message appeal to Christians.

true2god:
Yes, Islam is the only religion of peace, even if we Muslims kill and oppress infidels. allahh have made we Muslims special people (quran 3:110) who can oppress others (quran 9:29) and impose harshness on anyone who doesn't acknowledge the prophethood of Mohammed (police be upon him) (quran 8:39).

If you don't believe in our prophet, especially in Muslim countries, your life and property are not safe with us Muslims (sahih Bukhari 4:52:196)

Malaysian boy aged 11 dies after being beaten at religious school
Doctors amputated both of his legs, which were whipped with a water hose, to prevent the spread of infection
Rozanna Latiff Kuala Lumpur 20 hours ago2 comments




PM Najib Razak called for an investigation into the incident AFP/Getty Images

An 11-year-old Malaysian boy who suffered alleged abuse at an Islamic school so bad that his legs had to be amputated died on Wednesday, state news agency Bernama reported, in a case that has sparked a public outcry in the Muslim-majority country.

The boy and other children had been whipped on the legs with a water hose by an assistant warden at their Islamic religious school in the state of Johor, just north of Singapore, district police chief Rahmat Othman told Reuters.

Photos of him, legs blackened and swollen with infection, circulated online.

The boy was itted to hospital two weeks later, slipping into a coma after doctors amputated both of his legs to prevent the spread of infection. The assistant warden was arrested on Saturday.

"We are now waiting for the medical and autopsy reports from the hospital before taking further action," Rahmat said.

The case has prompted calls for closer scrutiny of "tahfiz" schools, where students learn to memorise the Koran.

Such schools, child and education activists say, are mostly privately run and ed with state religious departments rather than the education ministry, which has strict guidelines on corporal punishment for students.

"To this day, we do not know who are actually in charge of regulating tahfiz schools," Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim, chairman of the Parent Action Group for Education, told Reuters.


Prime Minister Najib Razak, who on Tuesday announced a 30 million ringgit (£5.4 million) fund to develop tahfiz education, expressed his condolences.

"I would like the investigation into this case to be speeded up and for legal action to be taken if any offences were committed," he said on his Twitter on Wednesday.

The case follows controversy over a proposed bill that would have introduced stricter forms of the Islamic penal code, including punishments such as whipping.

Najib, who had previously expressed for the bill, announced last month that the ruling coalition had decided not to table the bill in parliament.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-man-sentenced-death-atheism-ahmad-al-shamri-hafar-al-batin-appeal-denied-a7703161.html

A man in Saudi Arabia has reportedly been sentenced to death on charges of apostasy after losing two appeals.

Several local media reports identified the man as Ahmad Al Shamri, in his 20s, from the town of Hafar al-Batin, who first came to the authorities’ attention in 2014 after allegedly ing videos to social media in which he renounced Islam and the Prophet Mohammed.

He was arrested on charges of atheism and blasphemy and held in prison before being convicted by a local court and sentenced to death in February 2015.


Authorities in Saudi Arabia have used a viral party video to identify and arrest partygoers in the country
At the time Mr Shamri’s defence entered an insanity plea, adding that his client was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of making the videos.

He reportedly lost an Appeals Court case, and a Supreme Court ruled against him earlier this week.

While news stories in the last few years consistently identify Mr Shamri, his identity or sentencing has not been verified by the Saudi authorities.

The Independent’s requests for comment from Saudi government representatives were not immediately answered.

Under Saudi Arabia’s strict religious laws, leaving Islam can be punishable by harsh prison sentences and corporeal punishment - and a 2014 string of royal decrees under the late King Abdullah re-defined atheists as terrorists, according to a report by Human Rights Watch.

Last year, a citizen was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 2,000 lashes for expressing atheistic sentiment in hundreds of social media posts.

Mr Shamri’s name and hometown have trended on Arabic-speaking Twitter in the last few days. Some s have even celebrated his sentencing.

“If you're a lowkey atheist that's fine. But once you talk in public & criticize God or religion, then you shall be punished,” one such post read.

“I wish there could be live streaming when you cut his head off,” said another.

The Kingdom came under further scrutiny last week when it emerged it had been elected to the UN’s women’s rights commission.

Under the country’s system of guardianship, women’s rights and freedom of movement is heavily restricted. They are not allowed to drive, and voted for the first time in 2015.

“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief,” UN Watch Director Hillel Neuer said. “It’s absurd.”

Saudi Arabia has sat on the UN’s human rights council since September 2015.

Wahhabist islam, the religion of stupidity.

Humans were not created by aliens. It's fairly well attested that the ancestors to modern humans originated in what is now Ethiopia, and most claims of 'extra-terrestrial intervention' in ancient human history regarding civilisation and large scale construction projects originate from crackpot racist conspiracy theorists who believed that humans (or certain ethnicities of humans a.k.a. Mesoamerican peoples) weren't smart enough to make the structures on their own.

Pedophiles are rapists because children cannot give consent, and are in an imbalanced position of power in regards to an adult. That is what is wrong with pedophilia. It's not simply a problem because god said so.

Homosexuality is simply sexual or romantic relations between of the same sex. It is completely separate to child predation, rape or abuse. It is defined as nothing more than love between two of the same sex.


The fact that you conflate consensual love between people of the same gender with child rapists says a lot about your unintelligent, religiously brainwashed and delusional mind. Hopefully Nigeria will have it's own rationalist movement.

This is nonsense, and you are stupid as bricks.

To begin with, Atheism is a fvcking Greek-Latin word. It's a fvcking Greek-Latin word because the rejection of belief in gods has existed since the times of ancient Greece
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democritus)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euripides)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euhemerus)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophanes)
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagoras_of_Melos)

and ancient India
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charvaka),

hundreds of years before Jesus was even born. The simple lack of belief in god likely has existed far longer, with some traditional hunter-gatherer cultures in the Congo not holding any religious or spiritual beliefs whatsoever.

Pointing at atheists you don't like in history does not earn you or your faith any credence. If you cannot provide evidence for the existence of a god, then your arguments fall flat. Also, your depiction of the Bolshevik Revolution against the Russian empire is disgustingly ignorant and one-sided. Why do you not mention the horrible slavelike treatment of Russian serfs under the White Russian Royal Government, where businessmen and nobility lived in luxury at their expense? Or the fact that the Christian White Russian Government forged fake information about evil jewish organisations that they spread in Russian townships in order to demonise and scapegoat Russian Jews for the problems of the poor and to discourage people from ing the Bolsheviks, something that resulted in massive pogroms and lynchings of ethnic and religious Jews? Something that led to countless thousands of deaths, and the immigration of over 2 million fleeing Jewish Russians?

You want to engage in legitimate discussion? Alright. Prove a god exists.

While very hard to find, I have been looking around the place for some classical contemporary Satanist architecture and artwork. I'll be posting some more symbols of Satanism here as I find them, feel free to comment or share your own!

Kindly pardon my delayed response, I had issues with my laptop, but I believe 'it's better late than never'.

I responded in perspective of sincerity and moderation.

It's one thing to forgive someone who deceived you intentionally where abstinence is involved by padding 'front' and 'back', but it's another thing to decide to live with that person for the rest of your life, not knowing other scams you're yet to discover or new ones that will be played on you.

This remind me of a lawsuit between a Chinese man and his wife. The man believed he married a very beautiful woman, not knowing the woman had successive plastic surgeries to reconstruct her features.

She eventually gave birth to a boy with 'physically interesting' features. He sued the woman and won.

.....Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. - Phillipians 4:5

-Peace.

Wow. That's actually fvcking disgusting. Not the woman who had plastic surgery, but that the sack of shit Chinese man sued his wife because he disliked the appearance of their child. I feel sorry for the kid for having such a piece of shit for a father.

The woman's insincerity is not the problem, it's the conceited and troglodyte man who abandoned his own kid and sued and left the mother over the kids' face. You think plastic surgery is shallow? This is way worse.

This is apparently an image of a sermon in a Church of Satan in the United States.

No, I don't know there is god. I know that there is no god.

Let me ask you a question. Why do you believe that what is written in the bible is fact, or true? What has made you believe that the explanations for the world in pages of this book are more credible than the modern scientific explanations for it's natural happenings?

Trump in his inaugural speech said U.s belongs to God and he won't tolerate any act against God's rules... He must be very funny for such to happen in the State

Trump is a backwards ugly oompa-loompa looking warmonger who hates any human beings who aren't conservative white people.

Nigerians who love Trump.... gahahaha what a joke. His parents were of the fvking Ku Klux Klan! His elects are literally white supremacists! Gahahaha what idiots!
