And yet our country is friends with this regime that their people brought down the Twin Towers, and we invaded Iraq for them to be able to put an oil pipe line through Saddam's country based on the biggest lie ever. A conservative country no less, that is still in the Dark Ages, where the conservatives here want to take us back to with misogyny and homophobia and a Christian or Mormon theocracy, from a Saudi oligarchy that are calling the shots heard around the world.  :fU: Good video!  Solitary

Islamic Law.

Quran 4:89

"They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Reliance of the Traveller (Islamic Law) o8.1 -

"When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed."  (o8.4 affirms that there is no penalty for killing an apostate).

It's an inhuman thing, but no surprise. I don't think you can conclude from the article that he was an atheist though.

In 2013, a judge threw out the charge of apostasy against the 31-year-old blogger after he assured the court that he was a Muslim. The evidence against him had included the fact that he pressed the “Like” button on a Facebook page for Arab Christians.
