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.
This is a brave man.
