Saudi court gives death penalty to man who renounced his Muslim faith

[gsj68]

"RIYADH (Reuters) - An Islamic court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a man to death for renouncing his Muslim faith, the English-language daily Saudi Gazette reported on Tuesday.


The man, in his 20s, posted an online video ripping up a copy of Islam's holy book, the Koran, and hitting it with a shoe, the newspaper reported.
Saudi Arabia, the United States' top Arab ally and birthplace of Islam, follows the strict Wahhabi Sunni Muslim school and gives the clergy control over its justice system.
Under the Wahhabi interpretation of Sharia Islamic law, apostasy demands the death penalty, as do some other religious offences like sorcery, while blasphemy and criticism of senior Muslim clerics have incurred jail terms and corporal punishment.
Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually carried out by public beheading"

I've never heard anyone viable in the tea party that would want to kill people for not believing in christianity. I'm not plugged into the tea party but can't imagine anyone having this platform.

Are you insane, seriously? You apparently don't know the first thing about Christianity.....

I was raised in the church and used to go every Sunday with my ex wife. I am well aware of the nonsense of christanity. Also no one would publically admit to it but there are plenty of right wingers would live to turn Amerikka into their own personal Christian Taliban.
