    DOHA (Reuters) -
    Saudi Arabia's justice ministry plans to sue a Twitter user who compared
    the death sentence handed down on Friday to a Palestinian poet to the
    punishments meted out by Islamic State, a major government-aligned
    newspaper reported on Wednesday.

    "The justice ministry will sue the person who
    described ... the sentencing of a man to death for apostasy as being
    `ISIS-like'," the newspaper Al-Riyadh quoted a source in the justice
    ministry as saying.

    The source did not identify the Twitter user or the possible penalty.

    On Friday, a Saudi Arabian court sentenced Palestinian
    poet Ashraf Fayadh to death for apostasy - abandoning his Muslim faith -
    according to trial documents seen by Human Rights Watch.

    Fayadh was detained by the country's religious
    police in 2013 in Abha, in southwest Saudi Arabia, and then rearrested
    and tried in early 2014.

    Saudi Arabia's justice system is based on Islamic
    Sharia law, and its judges are clerics from the kingdom's ultra-
    conservative Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam. In the Wahhabi
    interpretation of Sharia, religious crimes, including blasphemy and
    apostasy, incur the death penalty.

    In January, liberal writer Raif Badawi was flogged
    50 times after he was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes
    for blasphemy last year, prompting an international outcry. Badawi
    remains in prison, but diplomats say he is unlikely to be flogged again.

    In 2014, a Saudi court in Riyadh sentenced three
    lawyers to up to eight years in jail after they criticized the justice
    ministry on Twitter.

    The charges were dropped in early 2015 after King Salman inherited the throne from his brother.

    "Questioning the fairness of the courts is to
    question the justice of the Kingdom and its judicial system based on
    Islamic law, which guarantees rights and ensures human dignity",
    Al-Riyadh quoted the justice ministry source as saying. The ministry
    would not hesitate to put on trial "any media that slandered the
    religious judiciary of the Kingdom," it said.

    Saudi Arabia's Justice Ministry or other officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

    The Saudis unable to behead foriegners at least publicly is now going after people critical of their despotic regime by sueing them for defamation. So essentially they sentenced a Palestinian poet to death and now they are going after a twitter user who called the action ISIS like. Well Saudi Arabia you government is ISIS like, the rulers of your government are the scum of the earth and I can't wait for the people of Saudi Arabia to go all French Revolution on your asses. Fuck you people, I hope there is a hell so you can burn in it.
     
  2. Something tells me western powers are intentionally preventing such an outcome.

    Call me paranoid. Status quo and all

  3. If that happens 'we' really are fucked. They have some serious hardware and cash. We have been arming those lovely folk for 50 years....with some nice kit too. We have armed the Saudis so they can crack down on their own people - no other reason. When those people kick off they will take those guns and turn them on the West.
     
  4. I'm glad you put quotes on "we" lest I think you had something to do with this fuckery. Haha
     
  5. The Saudis are some snakes. I have been emailing their various embassies with IS related questions for a while now. Some of the replies are hilarious.

  6. LOL what do you ask a Saudi Embassy?


    Dear Sirs


    Few questions for you if I may:


    I am just pondering, what's the best way to behead someone without getting international human rights charities on your back?
    What's the best method of beating a woman?
    How can I stop my staff complaining about their low wages?
    Is it best to lash before or after Friday prayers?


    I look forward to your response


    Yours Faithfully


    Internet Troll.
     
  7. You are not far off Crilly.


    They always answer when you mention money, the hungry bastards never fail to respond. After that it's a game to see how far you can push them.
     
  8. I wanna know what happened to that Saudi prince that let a dude blow him, fart in his face, jerk him off, massive amounts of, we'll just say drugs, various other gay and adulterous activities. I would ask about the hitting of his female maids, but the Saudis aren't too big on women's rights so I won't ask stupid questions.

    But seriously, what happened to that guy. He had to of got beheaded. At minimum he got caned over 100 times. Or they probably sent him to another country to do everything in the above paragraph.


     
  9. I would like to engage in some of this fun. Any chance you could send me a sample letter to tweak? Im not very creative like that.
     
  10. Will send you on a few when I get back to the cave.
     
  11. There are is a very big nest of those Saudi ISIS Arabian princes, 100's of the bastards. I doubt anything happened to him but we can only hope that they do the right thing and chop his head off or even better send him to the front lines to attain for his sins.

    Putin would shit himself with delight if they managed to snare a Saudi prince.
     
  12. Putin would indeed shit himself if a Saudi prince was captured. Then again, those fucks would never be in the trenches.
     
  13. This is getting boring.


    I guess the world news is just a business that feeds off of people's instinctual desire to be informed of stuff that they can do virtually nothing about.


    Here's some bad news about the bad News:
