The Sanctity of Prophethood and The Freedom of Expression: An Analysis in View of International laws& Islamic Limitations

Abstract

Freedom of expression is considered as one of the basic rights of humanity. It means to express one's opinions without fear of being punished or penalized. In current era, this concept is either being misused or its implementation is biased. For example, now a days, discussion about Holocaust is banned while the expression of blasphemous ideas about Islam is dealt under the concept of freedom of speech. Almost all the religions and national or international charters of human rights, consider the expression of blasphemous ideas as crime or act being penalized. In this way a conflict is created whether the freedom of expression means to express ideas without any blasphemous limitations or not?  In this article a discussion has been made about the limitations of freedom of expression in accordance with the acts of blasphemy law. Furthermore arguments have been authenticated in the light of Islamic Jurisprudence, legislation of different countries and UNO charter of human rights.
