Faults with the article
There are many subtle and direct misrepresentations of blasphemy in Islam. An overwhelming majority of references have not been taken from viable religious sources or texts and thus most of the information on this page is fallacious in nature. Some quotes from the Koran and Hadith are either intentionally misconstrued, or the editor has failed to understand the historical facts surrounding the relevant verses. It is thus requested that the article be edited and completely rewritten.
Statements made such as 'Naming a teddy bear Muhammad' are completely illogical and there is no substantial theological proof to ascertain whether, for example, 'speculating what Muhammad may do', or 'making a film about the prophet's life' are blasphemous in nature.
Thus it is requested that the page be re-edited, and it is suggested that sources are solely from the Koran and from verifiable Hadith; to ensure the integrity of this article.
Please ensure that any sources you use are not sensationalised news articles or otherwise misconstrued in nature. I have removed some of the fallacious points, nevertheless, it is requested that an individual with an UNBIASED view of Islam rewrites the article to better reflect the position of Islam on blasphemy
Kind Regards.
Somalia
The following text was deleted:
- watching a film or listening to music (Somalia).{{cite web |title = Somali Men Get 40 Lashes For Watching Pornography |publisher = Newstime Africa |date = 1 December 2009 |url = http://www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/9386 |accessdate = 4 December 2009 }}
It was deadlink; [https://archive.is/20120915001724/http://www.newstimeafrica.com/archives/9386 This is its internet archive].
Please review whether it is correct item; the ref seems to use the term "blasphemy". If you decide it is OK, please keep in mind that the current descrition is imprecise. I would suggest something like:
- Al-shabaab, Somalia militants which control a major part of the country, maintain that Islam doesn’t allow watching films or listening to music.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_blasphemy#Imprisonment_of_Abdul_Kahar_Ahmad Questioning "Imprisonment of Abdul Kahar Ahmad" blasphemy example]
This example in the article is based on a single source, which is a typical Associated Press stub article consisting of just four paragraphs. It mention the subject's name once and asserts that he is a "sect leader", but clearly not one notable enough to be named in an article. We know no specifics of the alleged blasphemy nor details of the case, and "Abdul Kahar Ahmad" is not an SEO friendly name. Does not seem particularly notable.
