Brickbat: How Mature

A sharia court in Nigeria has sentenced Omar Farouq, 13, to 10 years in prison for blasphemy. He was accused of using foul language about Allah in conversation with a friend. The same court recently sentenced singer Yahaya Sharif-Aminu to death for blaspheming Mohammed.

Speaking the truth about Mohammad's real life and history is verboten.

I'm sure his heart is singing Allah's praises now.
He will learn how to be a real blasphemer in prison.
Apart from the assholicity of the court, way to go for the kids parents stepping up to take responsibility. Far as I can tell, kids learn how to swear from listening to their parents at home. This boys parents should have come forward and asked the sharia shitheads to punish them, not the kid, for teaching him supposedly “blasphemous” banter. They also should have asked the court what year it is. I mean, is this 2020 or 1420 FFS?
It is 1442
I thought it was 1619. I thought it was always 1619.
Punishing the parents for a kids blasphemy. Hmmm sounds like Muslim kamala harris
Kids learn to swear from each other.
Punish all kids?
My kids learned to swear from Don Lemon. Punish Don Lemon.
"Hello. My name is Omar Farouq and I am a Nigerian prince unjustly imprisoned for blasphemy. If you will cash this certified check and send me 90% of the money, keeping 10% for yourself..."
All I said was that meal was good enough for jehova
Goddamnit! /Eric Cartman
Islam... The religion of peace, and punishment for ALL who stray in the slightest way!
You have to admit, the survivors are mostly peaceful among themselves.
The punishment came from a court of men, not the religion. The religion is not to blame!
An organization is nothing more than the collective voice of its members. And its members say death to the 10 year old.
BLM should go over and protest this injustice.
Nope it's africa. Nothing to see here, Africans can do nothing wrong
A Speech court in California has sentenced Omar Farouq, 13, to 10 years in prison for blasphemy. He was accused of using foul language about Comrade Leader Newsom in conversation with a friend. The same court recently sentenced singer Yahaya Sharif-Aminu to death for blaspheming Supreme Leader Harris.
A bit hyperbolic, but as the Great Walt said, If you can dream it, you can do it.
Nothing is beyond possible any more. When the f will people wake up to that?
Trick question of course; when it's too late.
Brilliant! Combine official public shaming with family amusement parks and TV shows. You, sir, are visionary.
And methinks you are a wiseass.
They were going to sentence him to the electric chair, but the prison was blacked out.
"...the prison was blacked out."
That's straight up racist bro!
If it wasn't for their war on fossil fuels, they could have switched the execution to the gas chamber.
So very glad it could never happen here!
