(IsraelNN.com) A secondary school teacher in Saudi Arabia was charged with "dubious ideology, mocking religion, saying the Jews were right, discussing the Gospel and preventing students from leaving class to wash for prayer," according to the Saudi newspaper Al-Madina.

The teacher, Mohammed Al-Harbi, was sentenced to 40 months in jail and 750 lashes for his "crimes". He was denounced by colleagues and students at his school.

The Saudi authorities and Arab newspapers are presenting it as a case of the teacher "mocking religion" and receiving the appropriate penalty.

Saudi Arabia and the Wahabbi Sect of Sunni Islam, should be our TARGET not our ally..

Semper Fi

I'd go tell Amnesty International but I think they are too busy screaming about panties on terrorist's heads right now.

"...it as a case of the teacher "mocking religion"

I gag every time I hear militant Islam referred to as a "religion"....
It is nothing more than a murderous cult.

Semper Fi

Sharia, guys; gotta love it.

Of course, the USA is for democracy and human rights in the middle east, and believes that Arabs, too, should have the right to think for themselves and be free to choose their own religion and not have a belief forced upon them--UNLESs they

happen to live in the KSA, in which case the state dept. considers that they have no rights, and Condi will be deeply offended if protests are requested on behalf of "Saudi rights".

Good thing he was dealing with the Religion of Peace. Hate to think what would happen to him if it was the Religion of Violence.

And the liberals are so stupid to think, that by kissing up to the terrorists, they will be spared. To make it worst, abortion, homosexuality, and other liberal aproved behavior, are hated by the terrorist and muslins.

Entertaining indeed. I liked this little bit...

Bloodmoney for a free male Muslim… is a hundred camels.
Bloodmoney for a free infidel is half the bloodmoney for a Muslim…
Bloodmoney for a woman is half the bloodmoney for a man, each one according to her religion, as bloodmoney for a Muslim female is half the bloodmoney for a Muslim and bloodmoney for an infidel female is half the bloodmoney for an infidel.

Thankfully they are the "religion of peace", just imagine what punishment he would have received if they were not.
