  • The sentencing of Egyptian ex-Muslim and atheist Sherif Gaber to an additional five years in prison, bringing his total sentence to nine years for merely criticizing Islam, has sparked international outrage and condemnation. Gaber's "crime" was producing online content that Egyptian authorities deemed insulting to Islam and Allah, as well as "inciting atheism" - acts prohibited under Egypt's constitution and penal code despite Gaber's insistence that he never called on others to abandon their faith. In a poignant RUclips video titled "9 Years in Prison - For Criticizing Islam," the defiant activist, who has been on the run since his initial arrest in 2018, expressed dismay over the harsh sentence levied for simply expressing his views, raising grave concerns about the state of freedom of expression and human rights in Egypt. Gaber's plight has reignited fierce debates over blasphemy laws, the treatment of apostates, and the policing of religious criticism in Muslim-majority nations that pay lip service to democratic values while cracking down on dissent.

    I've been watching Gaber's videos for years. So many Muslims complain that people who "don't know Arabic" criticize Islam - which is ridiculous of course, as about 80% of Muslims, so some 1.5 billion people, don't know Arabic - so Gaber is a great source to refer them to and of course he has the same valid points that any other rational person makes.

    • @falconeshield
      @falconeshield 3 месяца назад

      They don't even respect their own. Note that a country that is friendly towards Islam is never Islamic. It's always Muslim. Because there are factions still at war with each other. Christians had that phase too but thankfully even that religion got over it after the discovery of the new world (the Americas, which was triggered by the fall of Konstantinople)

    10 years of his life was wasted for a salafist prosecutor in cahoots with a dirty judge giving him same sentences again and again and what's crazy, here in Egypt the reaction of every cleric is for them to add more years because they can't behead him and this is what the lawyer said exactly. His efforts is not going for loss and we are going to help him but he has developed bipolar and fear of everyone trying to betray him so you have to excuse him on that and he will come with the biggest atheist bang in history once he leaves Egypt. All I will say is wait...

All it takes is one madman for Sherif to be in danger even in Europe.
