Algeria isn’t even a hardline Islamic state, but nonetheless, Christians and other non-Muslims live precarious existences there, always subject to this kind of legally sanctioned persecution. The Algerian constitution says that everyone has freedom of belief, but if you “shake the faith” of a Muslim, you will be prosecuted. And that could take virtually any form, even the slightest disagreement or contradiction. That’s one reason why the left and the Islamic movement worldwide are so closely aligned: they’re both authoritarians who brook no dissent or disagreement. Ideological kin.
“Algeria: Christian gets six months in prison for ‘shaking the faith’ of Muslims,” translated from Algeriepart.com (thanks to Mohamed):
The Attorney of the Republic beseeched the Court of Ferne in the state of Tiaret to impose a six-month prison sentence and a fine of 5 million centimes ($438.30) against the accused, “NB,” who is an Algerian Christian from the same state, on charges of “shaking the faith” of Muslims, pending the final verdict on March 8.

The patron of the Protestant Church in Oran, Rashid, was astonished at the nature of the charge, a charge that led to the capture of “NB” simply because he was carrying religious books that relate to his ideological orientation.
This happened despite the fact that Article 42 of the amended Constitution of Algeria states that “the sanctity of freedom of belief, freedom of opinion and freedom of worship is guaranteed in respect of the law.” However, we can see some contradiction in the latter, according to Article 11 of Law No. 06-03, which defines the conditions and rules of religious rites for non-Muslims [28 February 2006]. Punishable by imprisonment of two to five years and a fine of 500,000 to one million dinar ($4382.98 to $8765.96) is “anyone who incites, presses or uses seditious means to convince a ‘Muslim’ to change his religion or to use for that purpose educational, hospital, social and cultural institutions, training institutions or any other institution and financial means.” The same penalty applies to “anyone who produces, stores or distributes printed documents or audiovisual tapes or any other means to ‘shake the faith’ of Muslims.”

muslim’ faith is so weak that it can be shaken by the presence of a book? Not surprising, islam is weak, even its chief devil ali ass can be frightened by a pig, his minions are terrified of dogs, and, the only way to keep muslims in line is to murder a few every now and then to scare the survivors into submission. This validates the fear spawned by weakness that is the core of islam.
Exactly, It is estimated that over 90% of muslims don’t know anything about the life of Mohamed, and the Imans and Mullahs want it kept that way. Apparently some muslims actually have a conscience ( hard to believe I know) and the ones that are MINO’s would leave in droves if they actually knew. The trouble is, although books are available 60% of muslims are fully illiterate and reading is not a big thing in Islamic societies… I noticed two things that muslims who leave the religion have.. Parents who actually love them as children, and a large interest in reading books.. Brigette Gabriel and Nonie Darwash are examples…
muslims are as you say, mostly illiterate, those that can read risk being called apostates if they discuss the qura’an as it is supposed to be completely accepted, word for word as it is. Anyone who reads the qur’an to learn rather than to validate, will abandon islam as it is so full of contradictions and subhuman behaviour that a thinking person could never accept it.
True and every second sura is another admonition to kill the unbelievers.
There’s no coherency to the narrative,. I couldn’t help but think.. IS THAT IT?…I guess if you are looking for something morally and spiritually uplifting, then DON’T pick up a koran. An old Archie comic is a better example of morality than the koran
“It’s a depressing book. It really is. It’s just the rantings of a schizophrenic.
There is also the barrenness of the message. It has no ethical dimension.”
Sebastian Faulks
The rantings of a schizophrenic is a description I often use to describe this sick loon.
If he were to be alive today and act as he did he would very quickly find himself in a secure hospital for life.
Mass murder, paedophilia, enslavement, multiple rape, torture, the man was an obvious psycopathic scizophrenic who was a compulsive liar and a danger to anyone that met him.
And this is the muslims example of the perfect man and thus the legacy of his brainless followers emulating him and causing such pain and suffering wherever they go.
DEATH TO ISLAM!
A convert or atheist is no longer a f’ing muslum foolio.
There is no such thing as a “secular” muslum, just like there is no such thing as a good nazi.
I imagine being a non-muslim in a prison run by and for muslums must be a magically fun and culturally enriching experience — if you survive.

I would take the fine and pay the fine in invisible money as it was an insult to an invisible deity, either that or prove that this deity exists and hall his arse into court as a witness

Mohammed shakes everyone’s faith. You know why you must say pbuh, (peace be upon him) every time you mention Mohammed’s name? He knew he was going to need all the help he can get.
Kinda sounds like the liberals and shutting down our free speech.

Islam is hardly a compelling “faith” to be a part of. So they have to keep the blinders on for those born into it. FREEDOM from oppression and belief in a God that is LOVING is a threat. Islam is all about HATE and OPPRESSION. I’ll let a Muslim apostate explain why he left Islam.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

Algeria’s laws against “shaking the faith of muslims” could just as easily be “hate speech” laws in the dying atheist West.

Let the Christians go. Moslems don’t have any “faith”. They only have MURDEROUS THOUGHTS. You may dream of delightful Unicorns, Moslems only dream of donkey ukcing.
This is how bad it is.

Pull Algeria’s foreign aid. They’re violating their own Constitution. If it said “… anyone but a Muslim is going to get into trouble,” it would be different.

The “koran” itself proves … that “allah” doesn’t exist.
It’s simple … since the “muslims” say “allah” is the all-knowing, all-powerful, creator of the universe …
THEN “muslims” … have to explain WHY “allah” made so, so many mistakes during the Old Testament times … and had to correct those mistakes in the 7th century “koran”.
Islam the cult of hate and death….dying on it’s own as people all over the world see the truth of what Mo-hams cult really is, slavery and fear.

“Algeria isn’t even a hardline Islamic state” —> wrong. It definetly is! Been there and saw it first hand!
Sharia is very well in place there inside the family laws. For example an algerian woman cannot travel abroad by her free will if not being allowed (confirmed in written form) to do so by her husband or a male member of her family.
In many saharan towns, women wear a special style of veiling that only leaves space open for one eye. Looks very weird, like one eyed zombies.
When I resided at the house of my algerian friend, every time I had to go to the toilet I first had to announce this, so they could remove his sister out of my way to the toilet in order to prevent her to be seen by me.
It was fascinating to observe how muslims unnecessarily complicate their daily lives and make a fuss out of nothing.
My algerian friend was actually very sad about these medieval circumstances and told me, that if his parents weren´t at home, I could move freely around the whole house whenever I want. Even naked. He wouldn´t care. But because of his parents, every time I wanted to pee, he had to leave our room and check for his sister before I left the room.
That´s just one example of the patheticness of every day muzzie life.
