Amman - Earlier last week, Jordanian stage artist Asmaa Mostafa, a member at Jordan Artists Association, published on her Facebook page a number of posts that seemingly tamper with meanings of certain verses from the Holy Qura'n, Islam's holy book that Muslims highly esteem. On the virtual world, Mostafa's posts received extreme reactions that varied from resentment and outrage to justification, activists on social media networks reported. Many considered her posts as affront to the Islamic religion, and bitterly criticized her for embroidering God's words in such a demeaning and mocking manner. "That is offensive! Distorting Qur'anic verses in such a way is just disrespectful to Islam. Only a person with an antic disposition would do this," one indignant activist told HalaNews Online. Another activist shamed her saying, "The Qur'an is the literal word of God which is meant to pondering on not tampering with. But if she just understands that God's word is not a joke." However, others defended her and even considered her posts as "within the scope of free speech" that everyone is entitled to. This argument was also met with strong criticism for vaguely and loosely defining what constitutes free speech in any society.
