Atheist Blogger Sentenced in Saudi Arabia

This came up on my newsfeed on Facebook this afternoon.

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a blogger and activist to 10 years imprisonment and 1,000 lashes for setting up a "liberal" network and insulting Islam.

Fanatics who can't stand a little opposition or people who question.

If they didn't have oil they're be nothing more than another Bronze Age tribal shithole. Instead they're a RICH Bronze Age tribal shithole.

Goodness forbid Islam ever comes to any real global power.

When I got to work there was an envelope with the word "BOOM" written on it.

At first I thought I'd been targeted by Al Qaida and they'd been forced to make cutbacks.

To my relief it was just part of a promotion through the social club.

Hey christians? GC, Rev, all you guys, come closer, come see this:

Bloggers are evil. How dare he!

I got this on my newsfeed. I still can't bring myself to share atheism stuff on my newsfeed. I hate it when Christians do it on mine, but I suspect it's more because I don't want to deal with the familial backlash.

I feel terrible for this guy. You take free speech for granted until you see stuff like this.

Looks like Frodo's just revealed he's an even bigger hypocrite skid mark than previously known.
