The victims however are not always Westerners. Blasphemy is the act of insulting, slandering or tarnishing someone&#8217;s reputation. The word takes on a religious meaning, referring to any irreverent speech about God, religion, revered people and sacred things. In Islam, the meaning does not vary, but the words to say it are different. The problem is that the positive law of Islamic countries is still deeply rooted in Islamic law, which is exemplary in its severity against the blasphemer: anyone who insults God, religion and the prophet of Islam is punishable by death penalty. Does this mean that criticism of religion is unacceptable in Islam? Not at all. But does it have anything to do with freedom? The question can be raised. It is the three following questions that are the subject of this lecture: the status of blasphemy today, to see if it is founded in classical Islamic law, and finally to question free expression in Islam.<\/p>\n<p>Original title : &#8220;<em>Le blasph\u00e8me en islam hier et aujourd&#8217;hui&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"date_tournage":"","lieu":"","nature_evenement":"","vt_type":"Conf\u00e9rence","vt_yt_views":1146},"video_collection":[863],"class_list":["post-11430","videos","type-videos","status-publish","hentry","video_collection-congres-de-rome-2018"],"date_tournage":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Blasphemy in Islam, past and present - Pluriel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pluriel.fuce.eu\/en\/videos\/le-blaspheme-en-islam-hier-et-aujourdhui\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Blasphemy in Islam, past and present - Pluriel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lecture by Hamadi REDISSI, Professor of Political Science at the University of Tunis, given on 26 June 2018 at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome within the framework of the second international Congress of PLURIEL &#8220;Islam and Belonging&#8221;
