Muslim Leader Calls on US, Obama to Stop Ignoring Saudi Arabia's Religious

[Meesna]

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, vice chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), called on the State Department to reconsider Saudi Arabia's religious freedom violations and identified with Raif Badawi, a Saudi website editor who was sentenced to seven years in prison and 600 lashes on Monday.

"Our goal is to highlight to the American people that the State Department can no longer give this indefinite waiver to Saudi Arabia," Dr. Jasser, author of A Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriot's Fight to Save His Faith and president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told The Christian Post in an interview Thursday.

According to the vice chair, Saudi Arabia "fits the textbook" of a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) in which religious liberty is violated. "If we were to write…how you would define a Country of Particular Concern that restricts religious freedom, Saudi Arabia would be the poster country," he said.

Dr. Jasser must understand that he shouldn't talk bigger than his size, there is nothing about freedom of religion in this case

According to the Saudi conservative politicians, Mr Badawi crossed the line, and he has to pay the price. Go figure!!!

Zuhdi Jasser should focus on racism against Muslims in America rather than opening his mouth about other countries.

600 lashes ....holyshtzz ...he will die....

Not really, lashes in Saudi Arabia is different than lashes in Iran:

Here we do it the Islamic way, which is not to cause pain to the person, the purpose of lashes is to humiliate the person not to cause him pain, for example look at this Iranian guy being lashed in Madina for peeing next to the prophet PBUH grave, notice how lashes dont cause him any pain, just to humiliate him:

Besides those 600 lashes will not be given at once but over several times.
