Re: Zaid Hamid arrested in Saudi Arabia
i am hearing different versions but can anyone confirm if zaid hamid actually delivered an anti-kingdom and anti-sect speech to a gathering while he was in Saudi? if that is the case, he invited the trouble as he violated suadi law and of-course he will be punished. Yes saudi regime is a dictator regime but no point of lecturing them. Anyone with even the faintest idea about how Saudi Arabia works knows that the kingdom has a zero-tolerance policy where political and religious activities are concerned.They dont listen to anyone and this is what their law is. You just need to respect it to avoid trouble. Afterall, **holocaust denail, **the denial of the systematic genocidal killing of millions of ethnic minorities in Europe (including Jews) by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, is illegal in 14 European nations and we respect it.
But if he has been punished based on his blog writings and speeches in pakistan, then this is the worst kind of state terrorism bu saudia as they are taking advantage of the fact that mecca and median are in saudi and Pakistani govt shd use all of its power to save zaid and bring him back home.
