Two journalist jailed for suggesting that Islam is intolerant.

Al Jazeera – A court in Azerbaijan has jailed two journalists for writing and printing a newspaper article that was critical of the Islamic religion and the Prophet Muhammad.

Samir Sadagatoglu, chief editor of the Senet weekly newspaper, was sentenced to four years in prison on Friday, while Rafik Tagi, a journalist at the paper, was given three years.

The court ruled that their article ‘Europe and us’ was insulting to Islam and Muslims for saying that European societies were more successful than Muslim ones because Christian teachings were based on peace and tolerance while Islamic values, based on the teachings and actions of Muhammad, were not.

Soon after the article appeared, an Iranian cleric – angered by its depiction of Islam as a violent religion – offered his house to anyone who killed the journalists, Reuters reported on Friday.

This stuff practically writes itself!
