So-Called Blasphemous Tweets Could Cost Saudi Blogger His Life

And if that wasn’t disturbing enough, it is being reported that Interpol was involved.

That makes Julian Assange’s complaints about Sweden wanting to arrest him for a condom that broke look almost insignificant.

Of course, in theory, Assange could be sent from Sweden to the U.S. and end up at Gitmo.

Now I see how inconsequential my concerns about porn and plagiarism are.

Instead of being a method to free the hoi polloi, it will be more like the magician on the Tosh show who couldn’t break the chain tying him to a car in time and nearly died when it took off. Those Tweets will lead the authorities right back to you.

Here is what 23-year-old Hamza Kashgari had Tweeted last weekend, as reported by the Christian Science Monitor:

 “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.

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.

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.”

 The bogger is considered an apostate and infidel. He could be executed.
Human Rights Watch issued a statement urging Malaysia not to send Kashgari back to the Saudi kingdom.
Users should also be careful of what they say on Facebook unless they want to risk being pulled off a plane in another country. The Saudis have a lot of power.
