      Insane that people are downvoting you especially considering that the post is literally about a woman being unfairly jailed due to Islam’s core values and principles.

      So tired of such an oppressive religion getting babied by wayward leftists, and encouraged by alt-right fascists.

    https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2023-09/2023 Blasphemy Law Compendium.pdf

    156: Prohibition of outraging religious feelings

    (1) No person shall outrage the religious feelings of any caste, race, community, or class by words, either spoken or written, by visible representation or signs or otherwise.

    (2) A person who commits, or causes to be committed, the offense referred to in sub-section (1) shall be liable to a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years and a fine not exceeding 20,000 rupees.

    I wonder if they recently increased the severity. This overview of blasphemy law says that Morocco normally only gives two years in prison.

    I don’t think putting her in jail is right in any way, but I don’t think it’s okay to just disrespect someone’s religion. Sure, to you it might be funny to belive in God or whatever, but to someone else it could be really important therefore I don’t think provocative slogans like this really do any good. if anything, they make things worse

      I detest how one-way these things are. I am morally outraged any time I see a street preacher, or cultists giving out copies of their literature to children, or cultists coming to my door to question my beliefs. It’s morally abhorrent, as far as I’m concerned.

      I’m supposed to tolerate their batshit nonsense but they’re allowed to do what they like? What makes their strongly held beliefs more important than mine?

        Yes, because if we don’t let them do whatever they want in the name of their religion, it’s oppression. Literally the same as throwing them to the lions.

      It’s wild to me that people can’t accept different sexuality, but demand tolerance for their religious beliefs.

      I will stop criticizing them when they stop controlling and/or influencing the laws and politics in my country.

      Until then, their irrational beliefs are fair game.

      The shirt was a pro-feminism message that’s reportedly been used by groups in the past.

      If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights, then I give 0 fucks if someone makes a statement or shirt or whatever about those messages.

      Don’t shit on religious people for their nice beliefs, like don’t play thrash metal on blast in the parking lot of a bakesale for the church. But anythjng about it’s messaging or reach or the negative aspects and I’m all game.

      If you can’t even prove that a concept has the slightest bit of truth to it, you have no right to command others not to say things about it that you don’t like.
