Mohamad Yazid Kong Abdullah was jailed seven months and fined RM10,000 for insulting Islam and the prophet in Kuala Lumpur.
“The quantum of the sentence is disproportionate when compared to the fact that rapists and perpetrators of domestic violence often receive much lighter sentences, with some hardly receiving any prison time at all,” said the groups in a statement today. An example in Lebanon was given in the statement, in which three teenagers were sentenced to learn verses from the Quran about Jesus after they were found guilty of insulting Christianity.
The 11 groups include Sisters in Islam, Centre for Independent Journalism, Knowledge and Rights with Young People Through Safer Spaces, Aliran, Suara Rakyat Malaysia, Persatuan Sahabat Wanita Selangor, Malaysia Muda, Pergerakan Tenaga Akademik Malaysia, Agora Society, Teoh Beng Hock Trust for Democracy and Pusat Komas.

Educate all those who insults others of different faith, as it shows insecurity in their own faith. Those who are confident in their own faith + beliefs don’t find the need to insult others or be worried about other faiths. Sentence for the crime + educate to avoid re-offending
yes, agree with the 'education' part..in fact, we're giving him 10 years of free education. hope those ignorant people will learn a lot and enjoying their prison-time.
but there r some who will just not change
AmenoWorld That punishment is one of the education.. Am i wrong bro?
Deterrent sentences/penalty shd be the ideal solution..no need education for these rotten hardcores
So peaceful this man made religion. How about when someone insulted Jesus or Buddha ?nothing happens right. Muslims shouldnt be narrow minded. This belief system need reformation. Things like poligami, jihad, hudud and discrimination of women need to be studied. shortsighted
Mnghina nabi saw adalah 1 kesalhan yg berat dlm Islam justeru non muslim harus sensetif dn dont simply tke thing 4 granted, dia bole mnyebabkn rusuhan bole berlaku justeru hukuman ini msih danggap ringan pada kcamata Islam..
Fanatical Muslims seems to have zero tolerance
No one should ever be punished for insulting any religion. Free speech should apply here and fellow Muslims should be patient and more forgiving, don't bully others. 10 years is the silliest thing.
