This is of course wrong, no matter what the comment was, but it is strange that the article does not say what the comment was.
Animats•2h ago
If someone published the comment, they'd be dodging assassination attempts, like Salman Rushdie [1] and the staff of Charlie Hebdo.[2]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo_shooting

EA-3167•1h ago
That’s… Rushdie was targeted by Iranian leadership and Hebdo was committed by Algerian Al Qaeda members. Neither have a whole lot to do with Saudi Arabia.

Maybe you’re thinking of Kashoggi?

newyankee•39m ago
It is not being a target of a state, but rather the target of a group of people who take blasphemy very seriously
EA-3167•37m ago
In the case of Iran it’s literally the same thing.

If you want a better source for Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka, look for a newspaper that is a lot closer to them than the U.S. version of the Daily Mirror is. Even the U.K. version of the Daily Mirror would not be a good source for this sort of thing.

On 7 October, Amnesty International called on Saudi Arabia to quash the sentence and release him immediately and unconditionally.

"No one should be imprisoned, let alone face execution simply for expressing their views, even if these are deemed insulting or offensive," said Heba Morayef, Amnesty's regional director for the Middle East and North Africa.

It was apparently something derogatory about the profit Muhammad according to other reporting. Though I guess news outlets are skeptical to mention the profit Muhammad.

Intolerant Saudi Arabia and its inhuman treatment of non-muslims. Why the world puts up with it is beyond me.

The problem was a trivial one; there was a dog in a non-muslim religious procession which was wantonly kicked by a muslim man. As any normal empathetic human would, this person wrote a facebook post condemning it in somewhat strong terms which may have had some religious flavour which he later deleted and apologized for.

The above is what is being tried under blasphemous laws by the Saudis. Where is the outrage from the international media, human rights organizations and the larger world?

We are living in the 21st century, for goodness' sake!

The Western world puts up with it because they don't care. The only thing they care about is money and power. Both of which Saudi can help them with

They put up with it because of oil. Isn’t that obvious?

Religious extremism is a mental illness and has no place in government.

>Saudi Arabia is among the world's most prolific executioners. According to Amnesty, at least 175 people had been executed in the kingdom this year as of 5 October, most of them foreign nationals, including at least 94 people from more than 20 countries. It has no written penal code, leaving many offences and punishments to judges' interpretation of Sharia, and broad provisions in its counter-terrorism and cybercrime laws have been used to impose long sentences for social media posts.

This should be widely publicized. No foreigner is safe.

newyankee•40m ago
Based on original reading of the story though the man's comments were reported to Saudi Arabia by his fellow countrymen. Also Blasphemy law exists in many other Islamic countries like Pakistan etc.
NDlurker•37m ago
Yeah, that's all disgusting human behavior. And it's even more disgusting that agents of the Saudi government will murder him over it.

Iran has executed at least 2,159 people in 2025. Apparently over 500 people this year ( https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260827-iran-executes... ).

Saudi Arabia executed 356 people last year. Apparently a record.

Iraq, China, Egypt, Somalia... The list goes on. And unfortunately the USA is also on that wall of shame (47 in 2025).

The world is not in a great shape.

EDIT: In many Muslim countries blasphemy and apostasy are punishable by death. Not all of them enforce it though but it's still in the books.

Governments should disallow their citizens from directly flying to dangerous countries like Saudi Arabia. Governments should also have mandatory training for those who travel to dangerous countries.

Let's not forget that the terrorists of 9/11 were Saudi. This is the real face of Islam; it is the antithesis of tolerance.
