UK Politician Arrested Over Twitter 'Stoning Joke'
History's Coming To writes "The BBC is reporting that a Tory city councillor has been arrested over a 'joke' he posted to Twitter suggesting that Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, a UK based writer, be stoned to death. The full tweet read, 'Can someone please stone Yasmin Alibhai-Brown to death? I shan't tell Amnesty if you don't. It would be a blessing, really.' Following complaints he was arrested under the Communications Act 2003 and bailed. He has since apologized. This comes on the same day that a conviction for a Twitter 'joke' about blowing up an airport was upheld."
In the US, if you make a similar "joke" about a politician you don't even get arrested, just "disappeared" to Guantanamo Bay.
it instills fear into other people who have to increasingly worry about what they say and how they say it.
Good. I want people to be afraid to make death threats.
Why is this applicable ? This wasn't a politician threatening someone with death, this was a politician joking.
The fact is simple : islam means stoning people (among other things, like slavery, and eternal war, and non-secularism). Muslims believe god speaks through the paedophile rapist mohamed, and he was directly asked that question, according to muslim sources, "should muslims stone women ?", and you know what "god" answered ? He answered "yes". He was also asked whether one could kidnap people into slavery, again the answer was a yes (with a few addendums, but it was yes). He was directly asked if paedophilia was okay. Again the answer was yes. He was asked whether war would be eternal, and he answered that there would be war until allah kills all the unbelievers or changes them into pigs. Obviously, there can be no higher authority than the paedophile "allah-spokesman" rapist on islam.
Not even the torah is half as clear about stoning as islam. And before the idiotic argument is raised that Christians should do this too, Jesus was asked, very directly, the very same question, and his answer everyone knows. Obviously there is no higher authority on the subject.
How then, is it wrong to joke about stoning muslim women ? How can there be anything wrong with stating that muslims, all muslims, male or female, want to stone women ? That statement is about as controversial, given the facts, as "the sky is blue". Or is about as controversial as "aids spreads more rapidly amongst gay men, due to their unnatural way of having sex, which leads to damage, which leads to bleeding in both partners, which leads to blood mixing, which leads to infection".
These are simple, straight facts, and anyone who takes the least bit of offense to them, frankly, should be known as a pre-enlightenment savage. As to gay men, they should take this into account and, like anyone getting in a car, or lighting a cigarette, decide if the risk is worth it. Pr
Can we please stop the hypocrisy ?
Jesus was asked, very directly, the very same question, and his answer everyone knows. Obviously there is no higher authority on the subject.
Yes, he said that not one letter of one word of one sentence of any of the old laws would ever go away. So Jesus clearly stated for the record that he was gung-ho in favor of stoning (and slavery non-secularism murder of any non-jews and the like).
Oh, if you're referring to the cast the first stone business, then if you had any integrity at all (which you clearly don't) you'd know that that was a forgery added hundreds of years later and had nothing to do with the original Jesus fairy tale.
I mean wow, you Christofascist Nazi scum are as stupid as you are vile.
Jeuj another lie to excuse islam. I wonder, do you do the same for nazism ? Or socialism ? Or any other genocidal ideology ?
Even if this were true, does it somehow excuse islam's slavery practices ? It's genocides ? It's massive numbers of dead bodies, even today ? Does it excuse 9/11 ? Does it excuse ANYTHING ? Yes muslims are not, strictly speaking, the only moral abominations on the planet. That does not excuse their moral abominations in ANY way.
And Jesus did not, when ordered by a judge, and threatened by a mob of angry idiots, stone a woman. He also forbade anyone else from doing it. Is that somehow not clear enough for you ? Or are you simply lying ? Yes, Jesus still considers adultery a crime. Good thing, too, as it is a most grievous breach of trust.
