| Summary: | Freedom refers to the authority to act and make a decision without
external coercion. Mankind is allowed to act and speak without
external pressure and the influence of foreign powers (al-Siba’i
1998). Nevertheless, freedom of speech is defined by `Uthman
(1984) as an individual and social necessity, compatible with
human instinct and the philosophy of his existence as well as an
indispensable right in the realization of his real interest in the
world and the Hereafter. The human right to freedom of speech is
considered by Islamic law as a human right. Islamic law also
respects the right to freedom of speech for non-Muslims in the
Islamic State, which aims to achieve human dignity defined by the
objectives of Shari’ah |
