Saudi Arabia court gives death penalty to man who renounced his Muslim faith - Telegraph

An Islamic court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a man to death for renouncing his Muslim faith, the English-language daily Saudi Gazette reported on Tuesday.

The man, in his 20s, posted an online video ripping up a copy of Islam's holy book, the Koran, and hitting it with a shoe, the newspaper reported.

Saudi Arabia, the United States' top Arab ally and birthplace of Islam, follows the strict Wahhabi Sunni Muslim school and gives the clergy control over its justice system.

Under the Wahhabi interpretation of Sharia Islamic law, apostasy demands the death penalty, as do some other religious offences like sorcery, while blasphemy and criticism of senior Muslim clerics have incurred jail terms and corporal punishment.

Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually carried out by public beheading.

So tell me again, Mr. Obama and his fellow apologists, that 99 percent of Muslims are peace-loving people.

Tell me how ISIS is just poor, disenfranchised youth that have been lured by "violent extremists" who have hijacked this peaceful religion to carry out atrocities in the name of a religion that is otherwise pure and wholesome.

Time to sit back and watch the PC Progressive liberals defend the indefensible.

And while your telling Obama, tell me why the BUSH family has had a cozy relationship with Saudi Arabia for decades, and why they continually overlooked Saudi Arabian support for terrorism, and oppression but made **** up about Saddam and launched an unnecessary war that has emboldened and encouraged terrorism and made the US less safe? And while your telling, tell me why you have continued to treat Saudi Arabia as an ally and have supported the MB and other terrorist organizations?

Funny you would be so hung up about the Bushs. After all, we have all been using their oil directly or indirectly. We are all in this alliance and paying their wages. To point fingers is hypocrisy.

Bush is gone, 7 years ago. The new guy promised to change all that.

The fact that I kerp repeating myself to answer liberal talking points is a clear indication that the liberal argument never changes.
 
For renouncing your faith ? Context is SO important.

No. Didn't say we did. But the severity of a crime is a culturally based opinion. I might not like, what they do, but that does not make it any more wrong than our goings on. European companies can/will no longer supply our people with the chemicals for executions and our quasi industrial abortions are compared to the Holocaust. So I do not think it intelligent to act so much holier than thou.

.....It is not publicly revealed until 2006 that President Bush secretly engaged Saudi Arabia’s Prince Bandar to conduct the delicate negotiations with the Chinese over the US aircraft and crew. Bandar, a close friend of the Bush family and a senior Saudi official, is an unusual choice for the negotiations, but Bandar has a special relationship with the Chinese due to Saudi Arabia’s various deals to purchase arms and missiles, and the increasing reliance of China on Saudi oil. Bandar, never a modest man, considers it a personal favor from the Chinese to have them release the 24 American hostages. Bandar also oversees the wording of the American “apology” to the Chinese for the incident, where the US apologizes for entering Chinese airspace to make an emergency landing, but does not apologize for the E-3’s legitimate intelligence-gathering mission. Secretary of State Colin Powell, nominally in charge of the US negotiations, only finds out about Bandar’s efforts through the NSA’s monitoring of Bandar’s phone calls to the Chinese; when he calls Bandar to congratulate him on his success, Bandar snaps to the Secretary of State, “How the hell do you know?”......

So if all Muslims should be judged based on a corrupt government maybe I should judge you based on Obama and you must be an apologist for him. Since you know the actions of the government must speak for all the people.

I mean do you actually even know any Saudi's or do you just speak for people and a culture you have no idea about? Because the ones I do sure as hell don't agree or support such extremism.

That's a sectarian government for you, and that's waaaay over there and has nothing to do with here. The sect of wahhabism is Saudi and that is what ISIS is running after, but there are also different sects of Islam that have nothing to do with anything ISIS is about. So your broad brush is just another form of persecution.

I don't believe I was only aiming at Bush, maybe read it again.

The new guy did promise, and he hasn't delivered EITHER, did the criticism of Obama in my post, yeah, the one you quoted but half read confuse you. Where's the liberal.

Ok. Saudi Arabia is run by Wahhabists. The number of Muslims in the world totals 1.57 billion, and even if we assume liberals don't exist in Saudi Arabia, it's population is 29 million.

Or 29 million / 1.57 billion = 98%.

Regardless, this guy is most likely an atheist, who like most all atheist, probably thinks it's a great idea to secularize both the Christian and Islamic world.

ISIS doesn't operate in Saudi Arabia.

but.. umm.. the crusades man.. THE CRUSADES!
 
But not for people who renounce their religion, eh?

Nope. But, as I have pointed out above, the severity of a crime is a culture based opinion. I might think them wrong, but European companies stopped delivering the chemicals we use for executions and the industrial level of abortion has been compared by ethics experts as equivalent to the Holocaust.

So I do not think we can honestly look down our moral noses at them even though I think their behavior rather stupid, though I am at the same time not sure that they can easily change it very much without endangering the civil peace and political stability.

I don't know if I'll live to see it but I do believe that in the future lots of Muslim countries will have more humane laws.
