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.

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?
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.

Download or read book The Problem of Blasphemy The Fourth Gospel and Early Jewish Understandings written by Jerry D. Truex and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctoral thesis provides evidence that during the later part of the first century, certain Jewish Christians, who produced and propagated the Fourth Gospel, were perceived to be blasphemous and therefore "cut off" (karet) from the synagogue as reflected in John 9:22, 12:42, and 16:2. This study reviews recent research on blasphemy, offers analysis based on hundreds of ancient Jewish texts, and examines seven Jewish traditions pertaining to blasphemy, including cursing God, naming The Name, and sinning with a high hand. A composite portrait of blasphemy is sketched and compared with the theological claims of the Fourth Gospel. Three theological claims of the Fourth Gospel stand out as potentially blasphemous: Jesus is equal with God, Jesus and the Johannine Community constitute the New Temple, and Judean religious leaders are not of God. The perception of blasphemy and the inability to tolerate it explains why some Jewish Christians could not remain in the synagogue.

Download or read book Fair and Unfair Trials in the British Isles 1800 1940 written by David Nash and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adopting a microhistory approach, Fair and Unfair Trials in the British Isles, 1800-1940 provides an in-depth examination of the evolution of the modern justice system. Drawing upon criminal cases and trials from England, Scotland, and Ireland, the book examines the errors, procedural systems, and the ways in which adverse influences of social and cultural forces impacted upon individual instances of justice. The book investigates several case studies of both justice and injustice which prompted the development of forensic toxicology, the implementation of state propaganda and an increased interest in press sensationalism. One such case study considers the trial of William Sheen, who was prosecuted and later acquitted of the murder of his infant child at the Old Baily in 1827, an extraordinary miscarriage of justice that prompted outrage amongst the general public. Other case studies include trials for treason, theft, obscenity and blasphemy. Nash and Kilday root each of these cases within their relevant historical, cultural, and political contexts, highlighting changing attitudes to popular culture, public criticism, protest and activism as significant factors in the transformation of the criminal trial and the British judicial system as a whole. Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources, including legal records, newspaper articles and photographs, this book provides a unique insight into the evolution of modern criminal justice in Britain.
