An Egyptian court sentenced an 80-year-old-intellectual earlier this week to five years in prison over his remarks on the early Islamic conquests, according to local news reports.

Ahmed Abdo Maher, an Islamic thinker, writer and high-profile lawyer, was found guilty by an emergency state security court of “contempt of Islam, stirring up sectarian strife and posing a threat to the national unity,” the reports added.

Maher claimed in many of his speeches, writings, and TV appearances, that the early Islamic conquests were “military invasions”, and called on Egypt’s top Islamic institution – Al-Azhar – to apologise on behalf of the Prophet Muhammad’s companions who led the raids.

According to Maher, those “invasions aimed to enslave women rather than spread Islam” around the world.

Maher further disputed Islamic scholars’ beliefs about the possibility of the dead being tormented in their graves due to sins.

Earlier in May 2020, lawyer Samir Sabry had filed a complaint against Maher before the prosecutor general, accusing him of contempt of Islam among other related accusations.

Maher was interrogated several times and later referred to trial in October 2021. This week’s verdict is final and cannot be appealed before a higher court.

Based on article 98 of the Egyptian penal code, “whoever exploits religion in order to promote extremist ideology by word of mouth, in writing or in any other manner, with a view to stirring up sedition, or in contempt of any divine religion or its adherents, or undermining national unity shall be punished with prison terms of between six months and five years or a fine of at least 500 Egyptian pounds [about $31].”…….

islam was spread in egypt by military conquests and forced conversions. Didn't some other arab clerics say that without forced conversions and threats of harming apostates, islam would collapse like a house of cards?

Mudland clerics also mentioned the same. All the instruments have been perfected to hold islam intact. Islam is not a simple religion.

Nonsense.
The arabs were liberators from harsh roman rule.
Even today, there are Coptic Christians and jews were living in Egypt before israel was firmed.

It's Christianity that spread war until today.
But today Islam is the fastest growing religion.
The people have opened their eyes and abandoned Christianity and churches left to rot because no one is stupid enough today to worship idols.

Really? History shows that islamic countries initiate war and terrorism against their neighbours for simply not being moslems. You don't read much history regarding your past sultanates. Nearly all your moslem clerics through history support offensive jihad against non-believers.

But today Islam is the fastest growing religion.

Mostly by high birth rates, followed by love jihads and religious police to stop moslems from leaving the mohameddan religion.

This coming from a moslem moron who bows towards an idol in mecca 5 times a day, and brainless enough to believe in his hadith scriptures, which was attributed to mahomet's companions, who openly called each other liars and killed mahomet's unborn grandkid? LOL

Fastest growing by conversion you idiot.
No worries. Yr grandkids will probably be Muslims.

LOL! Your grandkids will certainly be Christians. You want to beat them to death to stop them from leaving the mohameddan religion?

Isn't that what chief companion, abu bakr did? He slaughtered arab tribal leaders who left the mohameddan religion after they learnt that mahomet finally died from poison.

In jiuhu, your moslem clerics are nervous that too many m&ds want to leave the mohammedan religion for Christianity.

Do you have any data to support your claim? Are you aware of how dirty or violent islamic conversion outside of singapura is?

Consider very merciful already. U dare say PAP corrupt drive up property price enrich them cronies from in sider trading u not only get jail u get bank rub.

Fastest growing religion by conversion.
Christianity have the fastest religious abandonment.
I don't have to worry about your fairy tales as for sure if not your grandkids, it will be your great grandkids who will join Islam. Too bad you'll be dead by then. And being tortured in your grave.

For someone who can trawl the net for islamophibic stuff and yet cannot google this simple fact shows how biased and wrong you are.
I will not humour you for it.

 

[syed putra]

Fact is after moors were beaten, there were no more Muslims and Jews in Spain.

Really?? It's strange that local moslem scholars, including those from jiuhu and indon, don't share your views. In fact, it is common knowledge that in jiuhu and indon, Christianity is the fastest growing religion amongst moslems.

In recent years, a local indon moslem organization started a 'save maryam' project to raise awareness about moslems leaving islam for Christianity.




In jiuhu, mainstream moslem scholars are the ones telling their community that many moslems have left islam to be atheists or Christians.

Is that why Spain immediately became a global superpower within years of the Reconquista?
