Book excerpt: A Christian boy in Pakistan is accused of blasphemy―a crime punishable by death. Haunted by a tragic past, a young lawyer named Sikander Ghaznavi returns to Pakistan after many years abroad, and takes on the defence of the boy. He reaches out to the sharpest human rights lawyer he knows―the woman he has loved for years, but now another man’s wife. As they deal with their unresolved feelings, the lawyers confront a corrupt system, a town turned against them, and a prophecy that predicts their death. Will they save the boy? Or will the city of Quetta, its prejudice inflamed by religious extremists, consume them and deliver them to a deadly fate?

This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Green Ingersoll's book 'Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy, at Morristown, N. J., May 1887: Defence' is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of free speech and religious expression in the late 19th century. Ingersoll, known for his rationalist and skeptic views, presents a detailed defense of Reynolds, who was prosecuted for blasphemy. In eloquent prose, Ingersoll challenges the prevailing religious orthodoxy of the time, advocating for individual freedoms of speech and belief. The book is a compelling blend of legal analysis and philosophical arguments, shedding light on the cultural tensions of the Gilded Age. Ingersoll's writing style is engaging and persuasive, making this book a captivating read for those interested in the intersection of religion and free speech. Robert Green Ingersoll, a prominent orator and thinker of his time, was known for his outspoken advocacy of secularism and humanism. His background as a lawyer and political figure gives him a unique perspective on issues of civil liberties and religious freedom, which is evident in this book. 'Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy' serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of upholding individual rights and questioning societal norms. I recommend this book to readers interested in historical debates on freedom of speech and the separation of church and state.

Download or read book Islam Blasphemy and Human Rights in Indonesia written by Daniel Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the high-profile 2017 blasphemy trial of the former governor of Jakarta, Basuki ‘Ahok’ Tjahaja Purnama, as its sole case study, this book assesses whether Indonesia’s liberal democratic human rights legal regime can withstand the rise of growing Islamist majoritarian sentiment. Specifically, this book analyses whether a 2010 decision of Indonesia’s Constitutional Court has rendered the liberal democratic human rights guarantees contained in Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution ineffective. Key legal documents, including the indictment issued by the North Jakarta Attorney-General and General Prosecutor, the defence’s ‘Notice of Defence’, and the North Jakarta State Court’s convicting judgment, are examined. The book shows how Islamist majoritarians in Indonesia have hijacked human rights discourse by attributing new, inaccurate meanings to key liberal democratic concepts. This has provided them with a human rights law-based justification for the prioritisation of the religious sensibilities and religious orthodoxy of Indonesia’s Muslim majority over the fundamental rights of the country’s religious minorities. While Ahok’s conviction evidences this, the book cautions that matters pertaining to public religion will remain a site of contestation in contemporary Indonesia for the foreseeable future. A groundbreaking study of the Ahok trial, the blasphemy law, and the contentious politics of religious freedom and cultural citizenship in Indonesia, this book will be of interest to academics working in the fields of religion, Islamic studies, religious studies, law and society, law and development, law reform, constitutionalism, politics, history and social change, and Southeast Asian studies.
