Islam > ‘No hostage will be released’ - Tehran; Indonesian Christian arrested for blasphemy; Jihadi truck puts 35 pedestrians in hospital

 

Iran: Tehran mural shows blood-spattered photos of

hostages with Hebrew caption ‘No hostage will be released’


When in history has the side that repeatedly displays gleeful bloodlust and celebrates the murder of innocent civilians genuinely held the moral high ground?

Iran unveils ‘No hostage will be released’ blood-splattered mural in Tehran

by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, 

Jerusalem Post, October 23, 2024:

Authorities in Tehran released a blood-splattered mural depicting photos of Israeli hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 with the text “no hostage will be released” in Hebrew, Iran International and local media reported.

The mural was reportedly put up in Tehran’s Palestine Square on Tuesday, according to Tehran Times.

Among the photos of the hostages is Noa Argamani, who, despite Tehran’s caption on the mural, was freed by IDF soldiers in an operation in June along with three other hostages.

Tehran, an ally of Hamas, has launched two mass aerial attacks on the Jewish state since the beginning of the war and was recently caught paying Israeli citizens and residents to assassinate and spy on behalf of the Islamic Republic.

Since Hamas’s Oct.7 attack, Iran-backed proxies have launched their own waves of attacks on Israel – leading to the IDF now conducting ground operations in Lebanon.

The mural came as hostage families expressed great uncertainty about a future hostage-ceasefire deal following the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Some families believe that Sinwar’s death will open new diplomatic possibilities for the return of their loved ones.

Former Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin, who worked toward the release of Gilad Schalit in 2011, told the Telegraph that Sinwar’s death could mean “A moment of doom because there are rumors that Sinwar instructed people holding hostages that, should he be killed, they should kill their hostages.”




Indonesia: Man arrested for blasphemy after saying

Christians were protected from Muslims’ black magic


Apparently the idea here is that if Christians are protected from Muslims’ black magic, this is tantamount to saying that Muhammad and Islam are powerless, and that’s considered blasphemous. All right. But why are Muslims assumed to be using black magic on Christians in the first place?


Christian Arrested on Blasphemy Charge in Indonesia

Morning Star News

October 22, 2024:

…In the coastal city of Sibolga about 210 miles away from Medan, capital of North Sumatra Province, Muchtar Nababan, a former councilor of Sibolga, was arrested on Sept. 3 for allegedly blaspheming Muhammad and Islam on his Facebook account.

Muchtar reportedly said on Facebook that Christians were protected from Muslims’ black magic.

The arrest took place after Raju Firmanda, secretary of the National Committee of Indonesia Youth (Komite Nasional Pemuda Indonesia, or KNPI), Central Tapanuli Chapter, filed a case against Muchtar. Area Muslims staged demonstrations against Muchtar at Sibolga police headquarters, according to Bisik.id.

“I am very disappointed with the behavior of a former member of the Sibolga City DPRD who wrote something that I suspect has insulted Islam,” Raju reportedly said. “We also strongly agree that it is not permissible to blaspheme any religion. For that, let us monitor this law enforcement process until it is complete.”

Within 10 days of a report submitted to police about Muchtar’s comments, officers detained him, said Sibolga police spokesman Iptu Suyatno, according to detikcom….
