Your last thread on Alex ander Aan was posted in the Religion section, not in this section. You should have put this update there.

This is very painful. I posted the thread weeks ago first in the islam section and posted another one in the religion section. Maclatunji deleted the first one.


To call me a liar is painful when this something I do everyday of my life- campaign on the internet for religious tolerance towards atheism.


Well, you are free to call me a liar thanks to the tyranny of Maclatunji because he deleted the thread and now I have no link or proof of it.


Valuable lesson learnt here. I will keep screenshots of all of my threads on the islam section.


Some muslims are really wicked! embarassed embarassed embarassed

Furthermore, when people say that some moderate muslims support extremism with silence or lack of criticism, you Fellis will jump and deny it. (eg you and the homer on the Boko Haram thread)


You found no reason to address the topic but you just came to derail and say that the thread does not belong here. If it is me that did this, you brother the Big mac would ban me without warning.

Please stop crying. Sorry I said you were lying before.
I am not derailing the thread, I only tried to helpfully suggest that maybe you should move this thread to the place where you posted the original one seeing as how it is a continuation of that first one.
How would anyone on this section understand what you are talking about when they didn't read the first thread?

In solidarity with jailed Facebook atheist Alexander Aan, a group of dedicated protesters held vigil today in New York City in front of the Office of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia.

Aan is currently serving a prison term in Indonesia after publicly declaring his atheism via Facebook. Protesters are seeking his immediate release.

The July 6 protest in support of Aan was organized by the Center for Inquiry. The mission of the Center for Inquiry is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values.

Last month, Indonesian atheist Alexander Aan was sentenced to two-and-a-half years after being found guilty of blasphemy. His crime: posting irreverent cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, and posting claims like “God doesn’t exist,” to a Facebook page sympathetic to atheists, agnostics and other freethinkers.

Aan was formally charged with religious blasphemy, atheism propagation and dissemination of religious hostility, and formally found guilty of spreading religious hostility. The presiding judge ruled that “What he (Aan) did has caused anxiety to the community and tarnished Islam.”

Before his arrest last January, Aan was beaten by an angry mob of religious zealots when news of his controversial Facebook activities became public. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Amnesty International has also called for the immediate and unconditional release of Aan, calling his imprisonment a serious setback for freedom of expression in Indonesia.[/size]
