Finnish Man Being Charged With Balsphemy

A Finnish City Council man who wrote a blog calling the Prophet Muhammed a pedophile is being charged with Blasphemy. His blog asserts that Muhammed married a 6 or 7 year old girl and consummated the marriage at 9 years old. Aisha was one of his favorite brides. (I'm dry heaving over here.)

"Helsinki city councilman, Jussi Halla-aho was charged with blasphemy and incitement of an ethnic-group in the Helsinki district court today, and ordered to stand trial for publishing on his blog that Islam's prophet was a pedophile. According to the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Jorme Kalske:"

His statements are not being called lies. And they aren't. He's being charged with inciting a ethnic-group. My suggestion is this... if an ethnic group is so backwards in the modern world that they can't keep themselves from killing people at every opportunity or offense, then maybe they shouldn't be free to kill people as a group? I am offended every time I hear this nation is a Christian Nation. Somehow I haven't killed everyone in my sight. I haven't even physically intimidated anyone over it. But to stand, as a government, and attack the little guy for stating what is true, and free speech over fears of what the other group will do is cowardly. Finland is a part of the UN and has accepted the declaration of human rights. This "blue law" of not blaspheming religion is antiquated and someone should recognize it and instruct the prosecutor to drop it. Hopefully a judge will have the common sense to throw it out in favor of free speech.

To Muslims everywhere... The free world was brought to you by the West. If you cannot live here peaceably in a manner that accepts our ways, please find a home that is more suitable to your ways. You are welcome here until you become animals. You will be made fun of for your stupid ways just like we make fun of Tom Cruise for being an idiot. If you don't like being called an idiot, don't be one.

I've never understood why our opinions (or facts) are to be taken offensively. To them, the theist, we'll be judged upon death so what the fuck does it matter what we do in the here & now. Let the world turn & get your prize at the end of the road of life. YAY for oblivion!

The sad thing is, that the thin skinned always dictate what can be said and what is protected speech. Even if this man gets off, however unlikely, he still faces risk of harassment from "rightfully" enraged muslims.
