One word I never, ever want to hear again - along with the words human shield and terror tunnels - is blasphemy. Ugh. đ As they went on their rampage, the men who killed 12 people in Paris this week yelled that they had âavenged the prophet.â They followed in the path of other terrorists who have bombed newspaper offices, stabbed a filmmaker and killed writers and translators, all to mete out what they believe is the proper Koranic punishment for blasphemy. But in fact, the Koran prescribes no punishment for blasphemy. Like so many of the most fanatical and violent aspects of Islamic terrorism today, the idea that Islam requires that insults against the prophet Muhammad be met with violence is a creation of politicians and clerics to serve a political agenda.
