Saudi Blogger who insulted the Paedophile Prophet Muhammad arrested in Malaysia

New post on Bare Naked Islam Saudi Blogger who insulted the Paedophile Prophet Muhammad arrested in Malaysia by barenakedislam HAMZA KASHGARI Apparently, Hamza Kashgari will be extradited to Saudi Arabia where he will likely face execution for blasphemy. ORIGINAL STORY: dead-man-walking-saudi-blogger-must-flee-country-because-of-tweets-about-paedophile-prophet-muhammad Arabian Business  Malaysian police have arrested a Saudi Arabian columnist who fled his country after making comments on Twitter deemed insulting to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), prompting a surge of online outrage and calls for his execution. "It is confirmed that Malaysian police have detained the Saudi writer. This arrest was part of an Interpol operation which the Malaysian police were a part of," a police spokesman told Reuters on Friday. Malaysia is a majority Muslim country with a close affinity with many Middle Eastern nations through their shared religion. Blasphemy is a crime punishable by execution under oil-rich Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law. It is not a capital crime in Malaysia. The 23-year-old Kashgari reportedly posted the comments on his Twitter feed to mark the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) birthday on Saturday, drawing thousands of outraged comments on Twitter and other social networking sites. Kashgari later said in an interview that he was being made a "scapegoat for a larger conflict" over his comments. "I view my actions as part of a process toward freedom," Kashgari was quoted as saying in the interview with the Daily Beast website. "I was demanding my right to practice the most basic human rights - freedom of expression and thought - so nothing was done in vain. "Beheading Apostates should be easier than cutting buttons off a shirt," says Muslim Cleric, which pretty much indicates how the blogger will fare when he gets back to Saudi Arabia. barenakedislam | February 11, 2012 at 12:40 am | Categories: Religion of Hate | URL: http://wp.me/p276zM-FvT Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
