Slander

Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English sclaundre, slaundre, from Anglo-French esclandre, alteration of escandle, from Late Latin scandalum stumbling block, offense — more at scandal

Date: 14th century

1 : the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations which defame and damage another's reputation

2 : a false and defamatory oral statement about a person — compare libel


...slander is spoken, libel is written...but the key is that they are patently FALSE statements. If I call someone a thief and he sues me for slander and libel and defamation, all I have to do to defend myself in court legally is prove that what I said about the person is true...that's all. So the key is NOT that the person was "insulted"..the issue is if the statement, no matter how unpleasant or injurious, is TRUE.

...Clearly Jumblat is the one slandering Islam, because he is making defamatory statements that are clearly false...we've SHOWN that Christians were the ones who killed people just for their religion and forcibly converted them...this is part of the historical record attested to by numerous Christians historians, not anyone's "agenda". We've asked him time and again to provide the source for his statements to no avail...if Islam were to sue Jumblat they would win in court because he HAS no evidence for his defamatory statement....but if Minme sues me for slandering Christianity by saying Jesus told his foloowers to REALLY eat his flesh and drink his blood...he would lose. Because the words are RIGHT THERE. All of the rebuttals he's made have merely been HIS opinions,,,and that means nothing in court. He'd have to show evidence that Jesus did NOT mean real flesh...his own interpretation would count for nothing...just as he counts for very little, except in his most recent role as a fesky fruit fly.

...so that's the big difference here...the truths we're posting about Christianity are highly offensive, no doubt, but they are true. That they ARE offensive is no one's fault by Christianity's. Whereas the statements made against Islam are ofensive because they're lies and meet the legal test for slander, libel and defamation. We aren't in a court of law...but the court of public opinion is often more important...and the more voices raised in defense of the truth, no matter who gets offended or "insulted" by it is actually a matter of life and death with great potential for massive human loss of life and material devastation...if Christians get away with yet another Holocaust...this time against Muslims...for we know already that they are capable of such things. It was only 60 years ago that they murdered millions of Jews JUST for their religion...of course they said it was because Jews "were a threat" and they were just "defending themselves"...but that was a lie and for the love of all that's holy, that's EXACTLY what they're saying about Muslims this time around.

So-called assyrians say about Semele, "never forget"...and that was for 300 people murdered. What about never forgetting the Holocaust and the six million and more innocent people killed by Christians for absolutely no good reason? Let's remember that as well.
