Media on Trial for Islamic Jokes

(Casablanca, Morocco) Consistent with the diversity and tolerance demonstrated by followers of the religion of peace during the Danish cartoon episode, two journalists go on trial today in Morocco for publishing an article on popular jokes.

From ADNKI.com:

The trial of the editor in chief of Moroccan weekly Nichane and a journalist working for the publication is scheduled to begin in Casablanca on Monday. Driss Ksikes and Sanaa al-Aji face charges of 'denigrating Islam and morality' in connection with the publication of an article last month on 'How Moroccans laugh at religion, sex and politics.' They risk up to five years in jail and heavy fines if they are convicted in a trial which rights groups say is a serious blow to media freedom.
The authorities in Morocco closed the magazine after the publication of its 6 December issue and withdrew all copies of it from newsstands.
The article for which the two defendants face trial examined popular jokes on religion, sex and politics.

The journalists apologized and stated they were simply reporting on Moroccan society by analyzing its jokes. Tuffo-wuffo said the tolerant, diverse and peaceful Islamic prosecutors. In fact, the Moroccan government considers an attack on Islam to be one of the most serious crimes a journalist can commit.

My take? Islam and media freedom are incompatible, therefore, the usual suspects were rounded up. The trial is a logical consequence. Like cartoons, jokes also insult Islam. Frankly, it's hard to figure out what doesn't insult Islam.

1 This shows the only way Islam can compete with modern society. Islam doesn't make gains by good deeds. Rather by fear and extortion. OUTLAW ISLAM it conflicts with modern humanity.

2 The terrorists are only an "extreme" form of islam and not representative of the whole, we're told. So what do you call these people who lock you up for "denigrating islam"? We call them "moderates".

3 Nah, if they just lock you up they're liberals, it's the moderates that stone "unchaste" women, homosexuals etc. and the extreme ones blow up men, women, and children for no reason at all.

5 By questioning what insults Islam, you have insulted Islam! Your insults will not go unpunished for they shall insult the insulter with insults to your body, sayyyyy, maybe cutting off your head? Because that is the moral equivelant to a cartoon or joke dontcha know.
