No justification for abuse of Islam: KSA
2015-01-22
[ARABNEWS] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
on Wednesday denounced the Gay Paree-based Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
magazine for publishing blasphemous material about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

"The Kingdom condemns the magazine for mocking Islam and the personality of Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of guidance and compassion," a Foreign Ministry official said, adding "there is no justification for this deliberate abuse of Islam, hurting the feelings of 1.5 billion Moslems around the world."

The Kingdom emphasized that freedom of expression does not approve insulting religious faith. "We call upon everybody to keep away from creating hatred against Islam and Moslems," the official said, while reiterating Riyadh's condemnation of the terrorist attack on the magazine's headquarters.

Meanwhile,

a leading Islamic organization has called on the United Nations

to make "contempt of religions" illegal and urged the West to protect Moslem communities following the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

The Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
-based International Union of Moslem Scholars, headed by Yusuf Al-Qardawi, appealed to Moslems to continue peaceful protests against images of the Prophet Muhammad but "not to resort to any violence."

In a statement released Tuesday, the union urged Islamic countries to submit a draft law to the UN calling for defamation of religions to be outlawed.

The union said the UN should then issue a "law criminalizing contempt of religions and the prophets and all the holy sites." It also called for the West "to protect Moslem communities from attacks, whether they are citizens or residents or visitors."

The union has condemned the publication of offensive material by the magazine.

It said that the new drawing would give "credibility" to the idea that "the West is against Islam" and warned the image would incite further hatred.

#5  I spray my keyboard with essence of Duroc from time to time whilst softing chanting.... 'Jirga, Jirga, Jirga.' It's probably just my imagination, but it seems to help.

#1   freedom of expression does not approve insulting religious faith.

Yes it does.

Of course by their definitions the Bible is no less blasphemous than Charlie Hebdo.

At least the KSA continues that Islam has reached absolute rock bottom and nothing they do or say lowers my opinion of it and them.
