We are much more enlightened in the West. We don’t jail people for insulting Islam. We simply excoriate them as “racists” and “Islamophobes,” ostracize them from polite society, and rejoice when they’re deplatformed by the social media giants. We are much more advanced in the West.

“Sheikh Hasina: Whoever insults Islam will be punished according to the law,” by Sumon Corraya, Asia News, November 5, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Dhaka (AsiaNews) – The religion of Bangladesh “is Islam. Anyone who pronounces offensive comments against it or against the Prophet Muhammad, will be prosecuted according to the law ” stated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday. She was speaking at a gathering of madrassas [Koranic schools] in Dhaka. “I know that on social media – she added – there is a lot of propaganda. Pay them no attention “….
From the stage, Hasina said that in Bangladesh “there is no place for Islamic militancy, terrorism and corruption. Bangladesh wants to show that Islam is a religion of peace and wants to be a peaceful, prosperous and developed country “. Finally she recalled that Saudi Arabia is providing donations to build 560 “model madrassas” and has invited everyone to pray for the general elections, which should take place in the last week of December.
