Saudi Arabia will sue any Twitter user who compares the Kingdom’s recent decision to execute a poet to punishments handed down by Isis.

Ashraf Fayadh, a 35-year-old Palestinian poet, was sentenced to death for apostasy – renouncing one’s faith – by a court in Abha on 17 November, according to documents seen by Human Rights Watch.

The sentence has provoked widespread condemnation, not only from international human rights organisations but also from legions of Twitter and other social media users.

They claimed the Kingdom’s courts would not hesitate to put on trial "any media that slandered the religious judiciary of the Kingdom".

This all is just ridiculous...

They can try.

[gutter_trash]

Saudi Arabia = ISIS with royalty

sue me

 

[Corronchilejano]

If I could get away with human rights violations without repercusion I'd sue everyone else too just because I can.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

The world is such a crazy place .

 

[Any Questions]

I hereby compare the judicial system of Saudi Arabia to ISIS.

So do I.


Can't wait for the day when the west no longer wants oil.

The middle east will have to go to work for a change.

 

[Savitar]

Gee I wonder where ISIS got theirs from.

Bite me SA.

 

[Nibel]

The SPIEGEL did publish a column on Saudi Arabia and ISIS

Nearly every punishment for every offence is the exact same. Good read (German tho)

 

[Eighty Deuce]

ISIS and Saudi Arabia aren't the same thing?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Uh huh.

Yeah.

OK.

 

[Oersted]

Saudi Arabia = ISIS with royalty

sue me

And western support

 

[AuthenticM]

lol are they aware that their jurisdiction doesn't cover the entire Internet?

 

[Jarrod38]

Should have been first post.

 

[Regulus Tera]

do they have an official twitter account? I have some words about their justice system

 

[Tenebrous]

Their justice system is practically identical.

 

[ElTorro]

How could it not be the same. Both are built on the same foundation.

 

[GameAddict411]

Well, Good luck with that lol. I really want to see people on twitter challenge those backwards thinking assholes. The Saudi government is one of the most corrupt in this world, and I can't wait until I see it fall apart one day and the Saudi people get their freedom.

edit: Not just the Saudi people, but almost everyone in the middle east. They are responsible for a lot of the suffering that is going on right now in Yemen, Syria and Iraq.

Many Arabs are already doing that and I am one of them.

 

[gutter_trash]

And western support

this is the most disappointing and saddest part.

you have Cameron in the UK chest pumping but at the same time he is the biggest Saudi ass kisser there is

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

How about we say that Saudi Arabia is worse than ISIS, just to rustle their jimmies.

 

[ElTorro]

Well, Good luck with that lol. I really want to see people on twitter challenge those backwards thinking assholes. The Saudi government is one of the most corrupt in this world, and I can't wait until I see it fall apart one day and the Saudi people get their freedom.

The Saudi regime hasn't been as much of a roadblock to progress as Saudi Arabia's clergy.

 

[Lima]

You get your hand amputated when caught stealing? Damn son that's a bit extreme.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

ahahah
They can try.

I hereby compare the judicial system of Saudi Arabia to ISIS.

And I have the right to sue you.

 

[Oppo]

if the shoe fits... cut of their fucking leg because god ain't happy.

OP is missing a "sentence me to 100 lashes if old" sentence:

I prefer ISIS's system, at least I know I'm getting 80 lashes for slander, don't want to be worrying about the unknown in Saudi Arabia!

also that stone looks like popcorn. Maybe they got the translation fucked up and it's death by popcorn?

 

[G.ZZZ]

The Saudi regime hasn't been as much of a roadblock to progress as Saudi Arabia's clergy.

Pretty much. If you read a bit on SA history, you see how the islamist scholars constantly criticized the kingdom for being too close to the west and stirred constant infighting inside it, arriving at even killing people in a large-scale terrorist attack inside the holy Mecca. Large part of nowaday's rules are simply a way to preserve more stability inside the kingdom, as absurd as that sound. As long as Wahabbism exist, i'm not even sure the kingdom can become a normal place ever.

 

[Fritz]

So, what is the punishment?

 

[bionic77]

Wow. Can someone publish a list of the things you can do in Saudi Arabia or ISIS that don't get you killed?

I wonder if they cut your dick off for jaywalking?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Wouldn't 80 or 100 lashes kill you anyway?

 

[Lonely1]

Aren't both Sharia?

Yeah. The monarchy is forced to uphold its image as the custodian of Islams holiest places and thus prime representative of the faith. It's their main bulwark against Arab nationalist movements. That gives the clergy the power to demand the enforcement of their Islamic lunacy. And they probably still have plenty of support among the population.

The US is probably stricter than both Isis and SA.

 

[Shuggananas]

Yeah... Whatever, it's the same whether they like it or not

 

[ElTorro]

The US is probably stricter than both Isis and SA.

lol?

 

[fantomena]

Saudi Arabia and ISIS has the same justice system.

Spoiler

come at me

 

[Wyndstryker]

Wouldn't 80 or 100 lashes kill you anyway?

Probably not.

But if they lose count then yeah, your'e screwed.

 

[Dali]

lol?

Why the question mark? You get your ass beat for jaywalking over here. Does Isis even consider it a crime? I assume they have other more important concerns.

 

[shintoki]

You mean Saudi isn't the biggest sponsor of ISIS already?!

 

[bionic77]

lol?

To be fair our system is really fucked.

I think we incarcerate more people than any other country.

That said our crucifixation and stoning game are nowhere near what they have in Saudi Arabia.

 

[BennyBlanco]

The US is probably stricter than both Isis and SA.

Can you expand on this? lol

Probably not.

But if they lose count then yeah, your'e screwed.

I dunno man. Whips will cut you open pretty easily.

 

[Sinfamy]

Wahhabism is cancer to Islam.
I've been critical for years, I'm awaiting a lawsuit with interest.

[ElTorro]

I thought you were comparing the US and ISIS/SA in general, not just related to jaywalking. My bad, I missed the sarcasm.

 

[Scrooged]

Why the question mark? You get your ass beat for jaywalking over here. Does Isis even consider it a crime? I assume they have other more important concerns.

It's not policy to beat people for jaywalking. Get your head out of your ass.

 

[Alx]

Wouldn't 80 or 100 lashes kill you anyway?

I don't think they give them all in a single session.

 

[mdubs]

But does ISIS let their women drive?
