Should any disrespect warrant murder or can we be selective about it?

People react to rage in most amusing manners.

A 44-year-old man in Medan, North Sumatra, faces four years in prison for having allegedly desecrated the Quran at a local mosque earlier this year.

Prosecutors at the Medan District Court charged the defendant, Doni Irawan Malay, for blasphemy under Article 156 of the Criminal Code and demanded a four-year prison term for him during a hearing on Tuesday.

Doni was accused of committing a blasphemous act by purportedly tearing out pages from the Quran. He pleaded for a lighter sentence, conveying his guilt to the court.


“I am very sorry, your honor. I will never do it again. Please give me as light a punishment as possible,” he told the judge as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Sentencing is scheduled for next week.

According to the prosecutors, the incident took place at Al-Mashum Mosque in Medan Kota district in the afternoon of Feb. 13.


“The defendant entered the mosque and took a Quran from a shelf without permission from the management,” a prosecutor told the court, adding that the defendant then took the Quran into the male ablution room.

“The defendant removed the cover from the Quran, threw it into a garbage bin inside the ablution room and then proceeded to tear out pages from the Quran with both of his hands.”

They said Doni then exited the mosque later that afternoon and threw the ripped Quran pages onto the streets before running away.

Doni was later caught by locals and reported to the Medan Kota Police. (rfa)

What's jail like in Indonesia?

Not good. They need to stay together with several people in one room. High profile person get better prison and will have their own room although very small and no Air Conditioner and no internet. It will be hot since there will be no window in the room.

That does not answer my question. Let’s try again. If I have felt disrespected by you in any way and it enrages me, will I be justified if I murdered you?

who knows the future? you come from a country where dozens are killed every day for alleged cultural honor.
 
. .
but can any AI logic detect signs of rage and order pre arrests of such individuals?
AI isn't advanced enough yet, but when it does become really advanced it could possibly become dangerous to us humans.

it can never be more dangerous to humans than humans themselves.

so i take you as to be against mass surveillance?
 
.
There is no basis whether in Quran or Hadith where blasphemy is sentenced to death.
then why do multiple Muslim majority countries with Sharia laws charge people to Sharia court for Blasphemy then?you are saying one thing but reality shows a different situation, just saying..
