3 innocuous tweet entries on Feb. 4th, the Muslim prophet’s birthday:
“On your birthday, I will say that I have loved the rebel in you, that you’ve always been a source of inspiration to me, and that I do not like the halos of divinity around you. I shall not pray for you.
On your birthday, I find you wherever I turn. I will say that I have loved aspects of you, hated others, and could not understand many more.
On your birthday, I shall not bow to you. I shall not kiss your hand. Rather, I shall shake it as equals do, and smile at you as you smile at me. I shall speak to you as a friend, no more.”
Having been accused of insulting the prophet, a charge which carries death penalty, even after apologizing, the author of the 3 tweets, the 23-year-old Saudi, Hamza Kashgari had to flee his country.
While in Kuala lumpur seeking political asylum from New Zealand, the authorities in the majority Muslim Malaysia which DOES NOT have an extradition treaty with Arabia, arrested and quickly deported him back there to face those thirsting for his blood.
This shameful act by Malaysia will not soon be forgotten.
There are thousands of Iranians in Malaysia; some of them outspoken critics of Muslim rule in Iran, with what the authorities have done to Hamza, the lives of those Iranians are in danger as well.

Umbilical Faith
by Demo on Tue Feb 14, 2012 04:59 PM PSTThe truth speaks for itself. If there is a cord to connect the fetus wiith the two worlds of 'unknown' inside the womb & the 'known' outside, there must be a continuation from the living world to unknown again. It can't be a dead-end path. Could it?
And if it was not because of the prophets, the 'organized religion' had
destroyed the living world already! Real or not, they all stood up
against such at their own times. Jesus himself 'hated' the religion, for
one!
Demo jaan
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Feb 14, 2012 03:35 PM PSTHow do you know who if anyone is a real prophet? Why should God need prophets. I do not see the need for prophets real or not.
What makes you think you know what matters to God. The problem with faith is its lack of reason. You get something in your head and insist it is right. It is not God that I am questioning. It is the people who say they know what God wants.
I prefer to avoid any organized religion. They inevitably get messed up.
'All' Not There!
by Demo on Tue Feb 14, 2012 01:47 PM PSTThe real 'prophets,' even some illiterates, all have been the sincere 'truth seekers.' But for the 'homies' self claimed ones, their veils surely prevent them to read simple stuff correctly! If they put their veils aside, however, they could see that the word 'all' was not in this commentator's remark anywhere. When somebody for instance comments about Americans plans in Persian Gulf, is that about 'all' Americans? But once again, only GOD knows who is who! And GOD cares less whether one decides to believe in him or not to! Why should he after all? The ultimate faith is all ours, of course.

"A plague on both your houses
by Mehrban on Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:13 AM PSTSaudi Arabia and Malaysia what a blatant crime! It makes me so angry! Here you are, this is the country (Malaysia) that some of our fellow bloggers were advertising as a model for Iran. Never I hope.

Sham vs Shame!
by Demo on Tue Feb 14, 2012 05:27 AM PSTThe infamous triangular coalition of ISI, i.e. Iranians, Saudis, & Israelis. is quite sophisticated with stories like this to detract the whole world with their shameful deeds of their own. Now, if you add Malaysians to it, that becomes 'ISIM.' Here we go gain with a brand new 'isim' to discredit the GOD's pure religion. But GOD is well aware of such shams & will take care of them on his own terms. Not to worry the 'concerned' fellows. Not at all.
From my travels to east
by hirre on Tue Feb 14, 2012 04:22 AM PSTFrom my travels to east asia I unfortunately see this muslim conquest of cultures more and more...
These thousands of year old cultures are slowly turning their faces to mecca... This is because of one thing, money... In 2011 when I was in Thailand for the 3rd time you could see a great spread of mosques financed by different sheihkhs from saudi arabi. The people of east asia are poor and the muslims are unfortunately taking advantage of this situation, just like the christians did in africa and latin america 100 of years ago...
I spoke to a thai person about this and he said:
"thai people love thailand and especially our religion, but we will sell buddha if we have to"
Really sick
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Feb 14, 2012 03:46 AM PSTHow about my religion which says anyone following Quoran is an idiot. What kind of people will do this based on 1400 year old dellusions.
Sick and not getting any better now go write about "Golden Age" ...
Shame on Islam and Quran
by IranFirst on Tue Feb 14, 2012 02:44 AM PSTShame on Islam , the cult of hate and terrorism. Malaysia with its Islamic influence sends an innocent person to Islamic KSA to have him killed , to make sure Islam is imposed and not questioned. Off course both countries (just like IRI) can correctly claim that they are just following Quran when killing this Kafer person for Moharebeh.
Shame on you, Malaysian authorities!
by G. Rahmanian on Tue Feb 14, 2012 02:29 AM PSTShame on the staff of the embassy of New Zealand in Kuala Lumpur who did not help the young man in time.
Shame on all those who treat criminals as guests of honor while turning a blind eye to the problems of individuals like this Saudi citizen.
Just take a look at the way the government of NZ accepts immigrants. One needs to show millions of dollars in order to immigrate to New Zealand. No questions asked regarding the source of the money.
Shame indeed...........

Chain of shame
by Ari Siletz on Tue Feb 14, 2012 12:42 AM PST...and shame on Saudi Arabia for issuing the arrest order...and shame on the U.S. for turning a blind eye to the Saudi religious tyranny.
This blasphemy should fit in a tweet!
