Saudi Arabia To Execute 'Atheist' For Insulting Prophet Muhammad by omobacyprus(m): 7:43am On May 01, 2017 |
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.

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. 586 Likes 80 Shares |

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. 64 Likes 2 Shares |

eyeview: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. 94 Likes 10 Shares |

The religion of "peace"! dingbang: 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. eyeview: 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. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

dsmooth1:The prophet Mohammad beheaded over 700 Jews in one night. That same day, he slept with a woman after beheading her husband and father. Imagine the horror she faced. How Jesus and Mohammad treated women. Enter Jesus *He brought back a dead girl to life *He healed a woman with an issue of blood *He prevented the stoning of a Mary Magdalene *Mary Magdalene washed his feet with perfume and her hair in show of appreciation *He ordered for me. to love their wife *Women wept during his trial and crucifixion *Women wept at his grave due to love for him *He said men should love their wives *A woman was the first to hear of his resurrection Enter mohammad *He married a 6yr old girl called aisha *He consummated the marriage when she clocked 9yrs by having sex with her *He saw a little baby crawling and swore to marry her if he is still alive when she comes of age. *He killed a Jewish woman's husband and father then converted, married and had sex with her on the same day *He married the wife of his adopted son after seeing her unclothedness and desiring her *He married his first wife, a 40yr old widow when he was 25 * He Married 11 wives and use to sleep with them all in one night *He wore women's clothes *He ordered the stoning of a woman *Says a woman's testimony is worth half of a man's testimony *Says 3 things spoil prayers - a donkey, a black dog and a woman *Prescribed beating of wives *He said women will be the majority in hell fire *Prevented women from inheritance *He wore women's clothes *He ordered the stoning of an adulterous woman *He was Killed by poison given to him by a WOMAN 96 Likes 13 Shares |

CatfishBilly: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. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

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!!! 21 Likes 6 Shares |

vedaxcool: 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? 22 Likes 1 Share |
