#India #Hinduism #islam
A quick video to share the links. On 31st July 1986 a Hindu man was arrested for inciting hate by creating posters with Quranic verses printed upon them. He was later discharged. It was also proven in court that the Quran contains 24 hateful verses which offends non-Muslims (Hindus).

Extracts from the court case:
THE JUDGEMENT: Judge Z.S. Lohat

“ I have heard learned APP( Assistant Public Prosecutor) for the state and counsel of the accused and have gone through the relevant record on the file. The main thrust of the Prosecution is that the above words in the disputed poster tend to create communal disharmony and ( the comment) is an act with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feeling of a particular class of citizens of India and is an attempt to insult the religion or the religion belief of the said class. It is also submitted that ‘Ayats’ in the form published in the poster are not available or are the distorted version of the same...“ There is a dispute that the 24 ‘ ayats’ published in the poster have not been taken from the ‘Quran Majeed’ translated by mahammedan writer. It is found that they are reproduced in the same form as are translated in the said ‘Quran majeed’. In my opinion the writer by writing the above words has expressed his opinion or suggestion and at the most it can be branded as a fair criticism of what is contained in the holy book of Mohammedans. By no stretch of imagination the opinion expressed by the writer that unless these ‘ Ayats’ are removed from holy book of ‘Quran majeed’ there will be no hope of stopping the communal disturbances in different parts of india, can be said to promote and attempt to promote feeling of enmity or hatred between different classes of citizens of India. In my opinion it s a sort of suggestion to the readers or at the most a fair criticism and by publishing such suggestion or criticism, the writer or publisher has not in any way outraged or attempted to outrage the religious feelings of Mohammedan community nor it tends to create communal disharmony or hatred between two classes. With due regard to the holy book of ‘Quran majeed’, a close perusal of the ‘Aytes’ shows that the same are harmful and teach hatred and are likely to create differences between Mohammedans on one hand and the remaining communities on the other. “ I have personally compared the disputed ‘ Ayats’ with ‘Quran Majeed’ translated in Hindi with notes by one Mohd. Farookh Khan and have found that most of the ‘ Ayats’ have been reproduced in the poster in its original form as is available in the ‘Quran Majeed’...

“The close reading of all the ‘Ayats’ published in the poster and read from the book do not in any way give different meaning nor suggest anything that the same were published with malicious intention.

Therefore, I do not agree with the contention of the learned APP that ‘ayats’ Nos. 2, 5,9,11 and 19 and 22 are either not available in ‘Quran Majeed’ or they are distorted version of the

said ‘Ayats”... “ In view of the above discussion, I am therefore of the view that there is no prima facie case against the accused as offences alleged against the accused do not fall prima facie within the four corners of Sections 153-A/295-A and hence both of the accused are discharged.“dated 31st july, 1986

Surely those who reject our signs-
We will cast them into fire.
Whenever their skin is burnt completely,
We will replace it so they will constantly
taste the punishment. Indeed,
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. Indeed, Allah is ever
Exalted in Might and Wise.
