“In Islam there is a line between let's say freedom and the line which is then transgressed into immorality and irresponsibility and I think as far as this writer is concerned, unfortunately, he has been irresponsible with his freedom of speech.

It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.”
