Malaysia Frees "Anti-Islamic" Blogger

Posted by timothy on from the how-merciful-of-them dept.

quarterbuck writes "The Malaysian blogger who was under arrest on sedition charges has been freed by the courts. Raja Petra Kamarudin's comments were interpreted by the government as being anti-Islam and anti-government; he was arrested under Malaysia's Internal Security Act. Now, a court has ruled that the government was overstepping its limits in what is being called a landmark ruling."

    And nobody helps their victims, after all "it's just a religion like all the others". Nobody ever seems to be able to point out other religions massacring entire races, like muslims do all over north africa, but especially in Darfur.

    Having read the mindless slams against Christianity that get posted here on a regular basis, I would also lump atheists* in with the Muslims in that regard. Maybe they can go learn tolerance from the Christians... delicious irony. ;)

    *Yes, I know not all atheists are intolerant, I'm atheist myself and get along with Christians beautifully. I just felt like taking a jab at the hypocritical, intolerant atheists who are so vocal on /.

    I wipe my ass with the fucking Qur'an. Mohammed was a drug addict, a paedophile and a fucking asshole.
