Inilah najis Islam itu...

Nggak sunnni, nggak syiah (ingat fatwa mati terhdap Salman Rushdi) setali tiga 
uang...

Nggak di Timur Tengah, nggak di Bengladesh (ingat Taslimah Nasrin), nggak di 
Indonesia - yang memenjarakan Alex Aan

Agama najis Islam itu tidak menerima ada orang yang beda pendapat.

Beda dengan dunia Nasrani yang telah mengembangkan freedom of speech dan 
freedom of opinion.

Saudi twitter controversy trending as a year passes

Al Arabiya

Saudis took to Twitter on the anniversary of the controversial tweets by Saudi 
poet and columnist Hamza Kashgari yesterday.

Kashgari's social media posting, made on the occasion of Prophet Mohammad's 
birthday, was perceived to be blasphemous by a large number of religious 
figures and their followers.

This sparked a huge controversy in Saudi Arabia.

As a result, Kashgari tried leaving the country to Malaysia but was returned to 
Saudi Arabia by the Malaysian authorities where he has been held for a year.

Marking the anniversary of these dramatic events, activists on twitter created 
a hash tag which has been very active since yesterday.

Kashagari, now 24, was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammad despite him 
writing a letter of repent and an apology regarding his tweets; this was still 
not enough for many religious figures who have called for his head.

According to some news reports, he is to be charged with blasphemy, although no 
charges have been officially filed. Blasphemy is simply defined as insulting 
God and/or insulting a holy person, things or beliefs.

The hashtags are creating a heated debate among people who think that his 
letter of repent is enough and he should be forgiven. Some opposers wish for 
the opposite and say he should be punished with death.

Twitter and social networks in general have been an outlet for many people in 
the Arab word to express their opinions and beliefs whether these beliefs be 
religious or political. Many credit social networks such as twitter and 
Facebook with facilitating the Arab Spring that changed the political map in 
the Middle East.

The young Saudi blogger was a strong voice during the Arab spring in Egypt, 
according to reports.
