Imprisoned Saudi blogger’s 9/11 Islamic extremism critique
Mid East Faces ^ | 09/11/14 | Lisa Daftari

Blogger and activist Raif Badawi, currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in Saudi Arabia for his writings, wrote this in 2011 about the Ground Zero Mosque initiative, calling it, “a blatant affront to the memory of American Society in particular and humanity in general.”

Badawi was a vocal critic of Islamic extremism and the intolerance and hypocrisy of many Islamic leaders.

“Would we accept that a Christian or Jew assaults us in our own house and then build a church or synagogue in the same area of the attack???? I doubt it,” he wrote.

As human rights groups continue to petition for his release, last week, a Saudi court overturned his appeal and confirmed a 10-year sentence, 1000 lashes and a 10-year travel and media ban.

1000 lashes? That is a death sentence.

The State Department will be along any moment now to condemn Saudi Arabia for this insult to human rights.

I still don't trust this Raif Badawi character (above). Since he's still a mohammedan, their stagecraft of taqiyya is well known. Uttering a few platitudes does not cancel out his devotion to the satanic cult of islam. Should he sincerely repent and become a genuine Christian (or Jew), only then would his words be meaningful. As I've said on other threads, every mosque is an enemy fortress within our borders. And it follows that every muzzie is the enemy without exception.

Well.. he’s not exactly an mohammedean. he’s quite liberal and pretty much an Atheist.
He’s currently languishing in a Saudi prison, so he can’t really become a Christian or Jew or anyone right now.
Pray for him
