  • An openly lesbian Lebanese comedian faces blasphemy charges from Islamic authorities over a viral sketch mocking Muslim prayers. Shaden Fakih's crude jokes about Lebanon's religious and political factions have sparked outrage, with the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council accusing her of "the crimes of blasphemy, insulting religious rituals and stirring sectarian...strife." The Grand Mufti also ordered a complaint against Fakih for "insult and blasphemy against the divine glory and Prophet Muhammad." As human rights activist Jad Shahrour stated, "The idea that someone could be arrested...harassed and subjected to death threats just for expressing views that may contradict certain societal norms...is unacceptable." Fakih is no stranger to legal troubles over her comedy, having faced a military summons in 2021 for "insulting" security forces. The case highlights Lebanon's contradictions between liberal freedoms and religious conservatism.

      When humor is used to mock injustice; agree 100%. (But humor can be cruel, too. Remember how some in Hamas laughed on Oct 7? Most of us dislike cruel humor . . . .)

      Mockery is a way of standing up to authority. This is why Muhammad employed a few poets and wiped out the rest.

      You won’t get far with that question. Someone will point to non-citizen Palestinians living in Israel having less rights, then someone else points out that they are not citizens of Israel so of course they have less rights. End of conversation.

    That's why Pride event and Pride month is needed 🌈 To defeat those hatred by hypocritic "preachers" especially islam.
    Religions should teach love instead of hatred, and those spreading hatred should never be defined as religions, but cults instead, and deserve no respect.
