RIYADH (Reuters) - An Islamic court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced a man to death for renouncing his Muslim faith, the English-language daily Saudi Gazette reported on Tuesday.
The man, in his 20s, posted an online video ripping up a copy of Islam's holy book, the Koran, and hitting it with a shoe, the newspaper reported.

I would like Obama to state if Saudi is the type that speaks for Islam.

That's unfortunate for this man.
What would the Saudi court do for a muslim who acted as one, but falsely claimed to be a Christian? Would it make a difference if this hypothetical muslim was in a position of great power?

With the White House, “Islam” is only uttered in a positive light and “Christianity” is only ever uttered in a negative light.

That’s what I don’t get about the POTUS.
If you renounce Islam and become a Christian, it is an offense punishable by death so where is the POTUS on this issue. He was RAISED a Muslim which means he LEFT (no pun intended) that faith and embraced Christianity, (or so he claims). That means, by Sharia law he is an apostate and punishable according to their law. How did he slip through that loophole? Unless...........................he’s still a Muslim!

POTUS would be considered apostate in Islam simply for the fact his father was Muslim.

I like how every reporter agrees the Koran is a “Holy Book.”

Yes, Ed Henry needs to bring this up with Josh Not Earnest. Does President Obama consider Saudi Arabia to be islamic? List the numerous atrocities committed by them.

Is everything we read on the internet true? I mean, I don’t believe the Saudis are stupid enough to execute a guy for just insulting the Koran.

So the so called religion of peace is as short on tolerance as it is peace. Nice.
