ECHR Blasphemy Law Thread

Postby Page » Fri Oct 26, 2018 4:23 am

I initially made a post about the blasphemy ruling in Europe and the issue of what the defedant had done, which involves the historical issue of one of Muhammad's wife.

I reviewed the rules here and understand that pedophilia is off limits here, and I certainly do not disagee with denying a platform to pedophilia apologists.

I did not think however that it might be forbidden to discuss Muhammad and his wife specifically from a historical POV. However, I do not want to get banned for unknowingly violating rules, so I edited my post and removed the summary of the debate about Muhmad which I had previously typed. My original post was quoted once before editing. I do not want to be responsible for a thread derail or any other problems.

I come here in good faith to ask if there is any possibility of discussing the issue. If not, I will not persist in doing so. But please recognize that if mention of this historical fact is forbidden, I did not knowingly intend to violate rules, nor do I wish to subvert the moratorium on the issue of pedophilia, which I understand the reasons for.

Page, the ruling as stated says that mentioning that the dude married a (possibly, I am given to understand) 9-year-old is perfectly fine.

As an example (WHICH IS NEITHER ALL ENCOMPASSING NOR BINDING), stating "Muhammad married her when she was 9." is fine. Stating "Muhammad married her when she was 9, and thus he's a pedophile." is pushing the line and should probably be avoided. Going with "Muhammad married a 9-year-old so Islam is ok with and supports pedophilia" is over the line.

Not having seen your actual post, I cannot comment on it, but if you're talking about the ruling, that's perfectly fine. What we're steering clear of is situations where we start getting advocacy.
To those who feel, life is a tragedy. To those who think, it's a comedy.
