Saudi people want to execute journalist for not having faith in Muhammad.

[QUOTE="OB-47"]

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] None of that is relative to the topic though. They want to execute someone for not having faith in Muhammad. It's is simply not right to do such a thing. The U.S. or the west has nothing to do with this story. What does it matter what we think of Muslims? It's not related to the topic.

So then why do several people still talk about what they think of Muslims? I am simply responding to them. It's a discussion.

There are several people here who have made derogatory comments about religion and Islam, so instead of quoting them I just gave a statement that obviously (well I think it's obvious) was aimed at them

Under Islamic Law, this man is not worthy of recieving a punishment, and that's final.

Just like all of those brainwashed idiots in Afghanistan that stone women after accusing them of adultery, when infact, that punishment is only passed when there were 2 witnesses of the act. Not only that, they can't just be anybody of the street, they have to be two trustworthy people, who are appointed by the court.

If you study Islam, you would know that even explosives during war in most cases are Haram.

wonderful, that's so much better.

Nobody cares if a Christian rapes a women. For some reason his religion is irrelevant.

Nobody cares if an atheiast murders his parents. For some reason his belief is irrelevant.

Maybe some of you anti-relgion and anti-Islam people realise that all the media you get is filitered to give you interesting news?

atheists are less trusted than muslims in the USA bud, don't even try to pull that one.

I don't live in the US but I don't know about that. The media hardly paints them in a bad light.

It is, considering that no one was ever caught commiting adultery during the prophets time, or the time during the "rightly guided calipha." Then people began interpreting their own views (Taliban) and I honestly don't see how they could be using rocket launchers, killing civilians, and commiting suicide, when each of those acts are clearly outlined as Haram in the Quran. Evan something as small as purpously destroying a flower during war is seen as Haram.

I don't really understand why people are blaming religions, things like this happens because people are stupid and intolerant, not because they are religious.Lonelynight

What was worse was he retracted his statements.foxhound_fox

Link Last week, just before the anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's birth, Hamza Kashgari, a 23-year-old Saudi writer in Jidda, took to his Twitter feed to reflect on the occasion. "On your birthday, I will say that I have loved the rebel in you, that you've always been a source of inspiration to me, and that I do not like the halos of divinity around you. I shall not pray for you," he wrote in one tweet. "On your birthday, I find you wherever I turn. I will say that I have loved aspects of you, hated others, and could not understand many more," he wrote in a second. "On your birthday, I shall not bow to you. I shall not kiss your hand. Rather, I shall shake it as equals do, and smile at you as you smile at me. I shall speak to you as a friend, no more," he concluded in a third. Twitter quickly flooded with responses to Kashgari, registering more than 30,000 within a day. He was accused of blasphemy, and enraged Saudis called for his death. By the time he removed the tweets and issued a long apology, backtracking on his comments and begging for forgiveness, the danger had already expanded beyond the Web. Someone posted Kashgari's home address in a YouTube video, and, his friends say, vigilantes came looking for him at his local mosque. The Saudi information minister banned Kashgari's local newspaper column and barred outlets across the country from publishing his work. Nasser al-Omar, an influential cleric, called for him to be tried in a Sharia court for apostasy, which is punishable by death. Other leading clerics decried Kashgari on their own, and Saudi Arabia's council of senior scholars issued a rare and harshly worded communique condemning him and his tweets and demanding that he be put on trial. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia's leading news site, SABQ, reported that the king himself had issued a warrant for Kashgari's arrest.paratheos
