A Saudi Arabian man who renounced Islam and made disparaging remarks about the prophet Muhammad has been sentenced to death.

Authorities became aware of Ahmad Al-Shamri in 2014 after he uploaded a series of videos reflecting his views on social media. He was subsequently arrested on charges of atheism and blasphemy, faced trial and was sentenced to death in February 2015.

Al-Shamri is reportedly in his early 20s and comes from the city of Hafar Al-Batin, located in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.

The defendant initially pleaded insanity, saying that he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he made the comments, Hala Dosari, an advisory board member of Human Rights Watch (HRW) told the Washington Post.

She added that “his trial focused heavily on Quranic law and little on any mitigating mental illness. As a result, Al-Shamri has been sentenced to death for being an atheist.”

After a lengthy appeals process, Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court ruled against Al-Shamri on Tuesday (25 April).

According to Amnesty International, the Gulf oil giant carried out at least 154 executions in 2016. The country has been habitually criticised by human rights groups over its human rights record, but it is still a member of the UN’s Human Rights Council. Its term expires in 2019.
Leaving Islam is punishable by death in the ultra-conservative kingdom.

“The conservative religious folks have full control of the justice system,” said Adam Coogle, Middle East researcher at HRW.
“Judges come from religious seminaries in Saudi Arabia. They see themselves as preservers of Saudi Arabia’s character as an Islamic state,” he added. “And they come down hard on people who step out of line.”

Saudi Arabia was ranked third by Amnesty International for recorded executions in 2016 behind China (which was in the thousands) and Iran (567+). The true figures are thought to be significantly higher as the figures only cover the judicial use of the death penalty.
Those sentenced to death are killed by beheading or shooting.

Social media users were divided over Al-Shamri’s death sentence, with some saying such an extreme course of action is unjustified. Others, however, appeared to celebrate the verdict and even went as far as saying they wished “there could be live streaming” when the execution is carried out.

Religion of peace indeed

When you are in Rome, behave like the romans..

these people will jux fight or kill in the name of religion all d time, have they ever sat down and ask how many people the prophet himsef killed because he was insulted....
teaching and mentality gone wrong

The atheist think it's Jesus that they insult up and down and walk Scot free.

This is why most atheists prefer to insult Christ, the church and Christians but cowardly avoid Islam.

To every atheist reading this, that you are able to come on social media to insult and desecrate Christ without this kind of instant justice shows you are already enjoying Christ's grace purchased by His blood on the cross. So enjoy.

Don't mind those atheists.. If they born them well they should go to Saudi and start talking rubbish

An Indian adage says, you don't cut a person's nose and give them a rose to smell. How can I, in the right state of mind, pay allegiance to a religion, that will decapitate my head at the slightest criticism of its tenets.
A snippet of Ravi's book in the light of jhad
....We are in a similar quandary when we ask the question, “Is this terrorist act Islam at work, or the abuse of it?” If we were to ask the perpetrators of the act, they would say they were about Allahs business.

Why not accept christ and die a martyr

There are Muslim atheists too. Most of them left the Arab world for fear of their lives, that doesn't mean they don't criticize Islam, they are very vocal on social media.
Most atheists criticize Christianity because they were Christians in the past, you can't criticize a religion you didn't grow up in and you don't know inside out.
Muslim atheists criticize Islam majorly because they grew up in that.
Y'all should stop being myopic.

The religion of "peace"!

Are you excusing this innocent man's death at the hands of these thugs?

According to a 2012 Gallup poll, ~20% of Saudi Arabians classify as either atheist or non-religious. Sourcehttp://www.wingia.com/web/files/news/14/file/14.pdf)

That's over 6 million people, 1/5th of Saudi Arabia's population. Many more are religious but do not support execution and blasphemy laws.
I guess 1/5th of the population is to be treated as second class citizens hm? Many more if you count the fact that women are legally the same level of citizen as small children, are forced to wear ugly black sheets over themselves, are not allowed to drive and are generally treated like shit by the wahhabi brutes that control the country.

Saudi Arabia is a disgusting terrorist spawning country, where groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Boko Haram are funded from. The only reason it hasn't been destroyed is because it sells Oil lasciviously to the United States and is an enemy of Iran.

Actually, the ability to be atheist and have freedom of religion in Western countries was primarily pushed by atheists along with rational thinkers, and civil rights groups. Christians and the Church had nothing to goddamn do with the separation of Church and State, in fact they have tried to demonise and repress atheists for an extremely long time, all the way up to around about the 70s in Western nations, 40+ years ago. It still occurs in Egypt with the Coptic church, and it still happens in ultra-Christian nations like Nigeria.

A LIST OF SHARIA LAWS

(Please note numbers 1, 10, 13, 18 and 34)

1- Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.

2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.

3- A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.

4- A percentage of Zakat (charity money) must go towards jihad.

5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.

6- A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.

7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph if he rejects Islam.

8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.

9- A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of: 1) an apostate 2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Vigilante street justice and honor killing is acceptable.

10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim, but will get it for killing a Muslim.

11- Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave
.
12- Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, flogging even for crimes of sin such as adultery.

13- Non-Muslims are not equal to Muslims under the law. They must comply to Islamic law if they are to remain safe. They are forbidden to marry Muslim women, publicly display wine or pork, recite their scriptures or openly celebrate their religious holidays or funerals. They are forbidden from building new churches or building them higher than mosques. They may not enter a mosque without permission. A non-Muslim is no longer protected if he leads a Muslim away from Islam.

14- It is a crime for a non-Muslim to sell weapons to someone who will use them against Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot curse a Muslim, say anything derogatory about Allah, the Prophet, or Islam, or expose the weak points of Muslims. But Muslims can curse non-Muslims.

15- A non-Muslim cannot inherit from a Muslim.

16- Banks must be Sharia compliant and interest is not allowed.

17- No testimony in court is acceptable from people of low-level jobs, such as street sweepers or bathhouse attendants. Women in low level jobs such as professional funeral mourners cannot keep custody of their children in case of divorce.

18- A non-Muslim cannot rule — even over a non-Muslim minority.

19- Homosexuality is punishable by death.

20- There is no age limit for marriage of girls. The marriage contract can take place anytime after birth and can be consummated at age 8 or 9.

21- Rebelliousness on the part of the wife nullifies the husband’s obligation to support her, gives him permission to beat her and keep her from leaving the home.

22- Divorce is only in the hands of the husband and is as easy as saying: “I divorce you” and becomes effective even if the husband did not intend it.

23- There is no community property between husband and wife and the husband’s property does not automatically go to the wife after his death

24- A woman inherits half what a man inherits.

25- A man has the right to have up to 4 wives and none of them have a right to divorce him — even if he is polygamous.

26- The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs.

27- A man is allowed to have sex with slave women and women captured in battle, and if the enslaved woman is married her marriage is annulled.

28- The testimony of a woman in court is half the value of a man.

29- A woman loses custody if she remarries.

30- To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.

31- A rapist may only be required to pay the bride-money (dowry) without marrying the rape victim.

32- A Muslim woman must cover every inch of her body, which is considered “Awrah,” a sexual organ. Not all Sharia schools allow the face of a woman exposed.

33- A Muslim man is forgiven if he kills his wife at the time he caught her in the act of adultery. However, the opposite is not true for women, since the man “could be married to the woman he was caught with.”

34-It is obligatory for a Muslim to lie if the purpose is obligatory. That means that for the sake of abiding with Islam’s commandments, such as jihad, a Muslim is obliged to lie and should not have any feelings of guilt or shame associated with this kind of lying[truncated by WhatsApp]

Every time I read this shit it makes me puke.

If atheism says it wants the death of religion, then it should go ahead and criticise Islam as well regardless of the fact that some of its adherents didn't come from there.

It is quite absurd that they chose to keep mum about Islam that bombs and beheads innocent people but would rather prefer to vocalize against a peaceful Christians religion that tolerated their excess.

Anyone else seeing a trend here?

Have you come across a former Muslim atheist that criticizes Christianity more than he does islam?

here is an opportunity for you to criticise Islam that is about to kill your kind. But no, you wont.

alBHAGDADI:

What is there to criticize? I don't know enough about Islam to be able to criticize it objectively.
All those media stories will just put a bias in someone's mind.
I need to study it on my own, come to my own conclusions before I would be able to criticize it objectively.

So you have to study Islam before you criticise the killing of an innocent man for leaving Islam?

We never see tintingz, stalwert, vedaxcool, demmzy15 and empiree on threads like this one....

A rug rider crawls into a cave in the 7th Century CE, the Angel Gabriel appears out of nowhere and whispers words of profound wisdom to the rider. Gabriel's whisperings are then somehow documented by the rider for all Eternity as the Words of God for the future benefit of Mankind. Fast forward to the 20th century CE. Erwin Schrodinger picks up his pencil and proceeds to write out the Wave Equation of the Universe which replaces the role of Newton's laws and conservation of energy in classical mechanics. It is an equation in terms of a wave function which predicts analytically and precisely the probability of events to within an accuracy of 10-decimal places. Why does anyone in the 21st century CE, astonishingly, still give any credence to the writings of a delusional 7th century ignorant goat herder who claimed an angel spoke to him in a cave? Apparently there are still approximately 1.5-billion or more Neanderthals out there who still "believe". Beats me!!!

China is mainly repressing Uyghur people in the Northwest and using islam as an excuse. They do the same with Tibet. It is just another step towards removing the rights of Uyghur people. (Keep in mind that Muslims did the exact same thing to the Buddhist Uyghur people just a few hundred years ago though - even vandalising scratching out the faces of thousand year old Buddhist murals and wall paintings).

This does not change the fact that islam is a barbarous and backwards religion.


And at the end of the day, what's worse? Some names getting banned, or innocent people getting executed?
