Man Sentenced to Jail for Saying Islam Not Tolerant!

Religion of irony alert: Court in Azerbaijan sentences journalists to four years in jail for suggesting that Christian teachings were tolerant but Islamic teachings were not.

We'll teach you to say we're not tolerant!

Al Jazeerah:

A court in Azerbaijan has jailed two journalists for writing and printing a newspaper article that was critical of the Islamic religion and the Prophet Muhammad.

Samir Sadagatoglu, chief editor of the Senet weekly newspaper, was sentenced to four years in prison on Friday, while Rafik Tagi, a journalist at the paper, was given three years.

The court ruled that their article 'Europe and us' was insulting to Islam and Muslims for saying that European societies were more successful than Muslim ones because Christian teachings were based on peace and tolerance while Islamic values, based on the teachings and actions of Muhammad, were not.

Islamic tolerance: I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Meanwhile, FOD notices that the al Jazeera story actually picks up on something that, strangely, is omitted from most of the wire coverage. Hint: fatwa.

8 "Another stupid comment" Greyrooster, it wasn't stupid. What is wrong with you now?! allahakchew hasn't done anything to deserve the stalking treatment your giving 'em. As far as I can see, you have fixed your sights on allahakchew for no good reason. Unless someone is 'troling' with a sockpuppet in your name?
USA, all the way!
