You can't expect them to be your friends while you shit on their culture and you can't shit on their culture without condemning thousands to death for one reason or another. the reason why iran hate us so much is that we granted a guy that they hate a lot asylum in our country and saved his life. don't give a shit reason like its the right thing to do when you're talking about international politics. Yes you totally nailed it. Iran's hatred for the US has absolutely nothing to do with our support of Israel, our meddling in the politics of their region, or our support of the previous ruler.

There is a facebook group with thousands of muslims calling for the execution of Hamza Kashgari. As of this moment, there is no facebook group that calls for mercy. Much much crazier things have happened in the Middle East that provoke pretty much the same reaction. | ||

I'm going to take a stance of pragmatism. Unless you are planning to do something about this, you just have to accept it. Worse atrocities happen everyday in this world and getting up in arms about every single one is impractical. I'm not saying that what is happening to this man is right. What I'm saying is, what are you planning to do about it? Forcing people to accept democracy isn't democracy. | ||

The first two tweets are not really a big problem but the last one was too much. | ||

This is a totalitarian theocracy acting entirely according to the wishes of the people. You're contradicting yourself here... Isn't Hamza a Saudi? does he wish for a death penalty? I think not, I don't know how you arrived at that conclusion, but you couldn't be more wrong; as this would mean Saudi is in fact a democratic country, which is just not true. The guy is going to be prosecuted for speaking out on the internet and then you wonder where are the facebook groups defending him are? Even if fear is not a factor, lets just pretend indifference is. If that was a crime, then most of the western world would be guilty of it for the crimes that their governments have committed. Does Saudi have an environment that cultivate nut jobs such are the ones calling for his death? Undoubtedly yes, but you have no evidence to how much of society they represent and to suggest that that government gives a crap about what anyone thinks is just untrue. Because if was true, then a most Saudis like living in poverty in the richest country in the world, and like unemployment and corruption and thrive with the fact that no one has any right to speak about it! | ||

And then we got a dude who made stupid comments on twitter publicly saying that Mohammad is not something special and that he is equal to him? That's what broke his back. It's basic Islam knowledge that there will be no prophets after Mohammad and he just said that he is one. And they will kill him for that I have no doubt. If anything he stated that Muhammed was not a prophet and thus they are the same, both human. He never claims himself a prophet, only that he doubts the air of divinity around Muhammed. | ||

If he said that in any country with real tangible rights he would not get in any trouble for using freedom of speech. These countries have government and religion so heavily intertwined that they are killing people for going against their faith and forcing it on others. Must of us can agree this is wrong on any rational scale and therefore condemnable. I won't deny some issues have gray areas but if you can't see that its wrong to kill someone for tweeting three lines then you/your country needs to seriously reevaluate itself. any nation isn't anyone's backyard. you're not French, you are a human living within the boundaries that royalty generations ago claimed and called France. if my parents didn't move generations ago, i would be European and not American. you really must place no value in human life if a silly thing like borders gives you a justified excuse to let people take other people's lives for no decent reason. | ||

Face it, stupidity and prejudice will always be part of out creed. And to think that a single society have a monopoly over it is just ignorant! | ||

A friend of Kashgari told the Daily Beast “Everyone who tried to objectively deal with this case was immediately stigmatized and labeled an enemy of the prophet, who therefore should suffer the same fate Hamza is awaiting.” http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/319341 He shouldn't have chosen Malaysia ... | ||
