Saudi blogger arrested for converting to Christianity

A Christian convert from islam was recently arrested in Saudi Arabia for critising shariah law on his blog. Very brave man for sticking it to islam inside one of the most oppressive islamic regimes in the world.

For converting to Christianity this brave man faces the death penalty. In Saudi Arabia they have capital punishment for anyone who leaves islam, just like it is written in the hadiths. Compass direct

LOS ANGELES, January 28 (Compass Direct News) – Five months after the daughter of a member of Saudi Arabia’s religious police was killed for writing online about her faith in Christ, Saudi authorities have reportedly arrested a 28-year-old Christian man for describing his conversion and criticizing the kingdom’s judiciary on his Web site. Saudi police arrested Hamoud Bin Saleh on Jan. 13 “because of his opinions and his testimony that he had converted from Islam to Christianity,” according to the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information. Bin Saleh, who had been detained for nine months in 2004 and again for a month last November, was reportedly being held in Riyadh’s Eleisha prison. On his web site, which Saudi authorities have blocked, Bin Saleh wrote that his journey to Christ began after witnessing the public beheading of three Pakistanis convicted of drug charges.
