On Tuesday, two individuals were detained in Ankara, Turkey, following the release of a video showcasing a comedic joke referencing a hadith – a saying attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. The prosecution argues the joke promotes religious hatred and incites discord among Muslims. Prosecutors allege the joke’s context could be interpreted as disrespectful or inflammatory. The men are awaiting trial, and legal proceedings are underway to determine the validity of the alleged offense. The specific nature of the joke and its impact on the religious community is currently under investigation.
