For example, in Iran, Hashem Aghajari, a university professor, was sentenced to death for blasphemy simply for calling for religious reforms and stating that Muslims were not &#8220;monkeys&#8221; who should blindly follow the teachings of clerics. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This offence is also applied to non-Muslims, as has been the case with:<\/p><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li>Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi, a Christian couple, found guilty in Pakistan for touching the Qur\u2019an without washing their hands and sentenced to 25 years in prison.<\/li><\/ul><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li>Hector Aleem, a 51-year-old human rights activist, brutally beaten and tortured, accused of blasphemy after opposing the destruction of a church.<\/li><\/ul><ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><li>Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, known as Ahok, Governor of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. This Christian of Chinese-Indonesian origin was accused of blasphemy during his campaign for re-election as governor in 2016, when he made a comment about the use of the Qur\u2019an in politics.  <\/li><\/ul><p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">Specifically, he referred to verse 5:51, which some interpret as meaning that Muslims should not choose non-Muslims as leaders. Ahok suggested that certain clerics were using this verse to deceive Muslim voters into not supporting him. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">His comment was recorded on video and went viral, sparking massive protests by conservative Islamic groups. He was found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to two years in prison. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, a blasphemy accusation can lead to extrajudicial violence by the community. In quite a few countries, both Muslim and Western, freethinkers critical of Islam are threatened, assaulted, and killed. Some have to flee and even require protection in Western countries and live in undisclosed locations, such as Salman Rushdie or Hirsi Ali.  <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of us who are critical of Islam would be thrown into prison or even tortured, lynched, and murdered. This is therefore a genuine tyranny, wholly contrary to the basic rights of freedom of expression and to the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basis of this legal and social dictatorship is found in the Qur\u2019an and the Hadiths:<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>QUR\u2019AN<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qur\u2019an 33:57<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThose who offend Allah and His messenger\u2014Allah will curse them in this world and in the Hereafter. He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong><br>HADITHS AND OTHER ISLAMIC WRITINGS<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Hadiths (biographies containing the sayings and deeds of Muhammad, which are considered by traditional Islam to be the second pillar of that religion) and other Muslim texts, there are many examples of people in his time who were critical of Islam and its Prophet. Most of these people were killed with his blessing, and no punishment or compensation was imposed on the murderer. <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abu `Afak: Muhammad asked his followers to kill this man for making negative comments about Muhammad and Islam.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tabarani, Daraqutni: Muhammad had told his followers, \u201cWhoever curses a prophet, kill him.\u201d <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul): Muhammad asked his followers to kill this man for making \u201cevil\u201d statements about Muhammad\u2019s family.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ka\u2019b bin Ashraf: Muhammad asked his followers to kill this man for writing inflammatory poetry about Muhammad and Muslim women.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asma Bint Marwan: Muhammad asked his followers to kill this woman for composing inflammatory poetry about Islam and Muslims.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blind man\u2019s enslaved mother: When Muhammad learned that one of his followers had stabbed and killed his Umm walad (a concubine with whom he had fathered a child) for making disparaging comments about Muhammad, he declared that \u201cno retaliation should be paid for her blood.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong>LET US DO SOMETHING TO ERADICATE THIS TYRANNY!<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are increasingly more modernist Muslims who oppose this legal and social dictatorship typical of traditionalist Islamism. They question the validity of the Hadiths and other writings drafted several centuries after Muhammad\u2019s death, and interpret the Qur\u2019anic verse Qur\u2019an 33:57 not as a condemnation of criticism of Islam.  <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/lets-reform-the-harmful-part-of-islam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more\u2026 <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us help them spread this more flexible and tolerant perspective within Muslim communities and influence politicians to repeal blasphemy laws.
