Saudi Arabia denies consular access to Zaid Hamid

[Bombaywalla]

Saudi Arabia and its laws are a joke; it's high time people stopped worshiping the worthless.

 

[Sunan]

I don't agree with zaid hamid on many things but Saudi Arabia don't have a right to arrest Pakistani citizen which came to perform Umrah.Tomarrow if irani president came to Saudi Arabia to perform umrah do they arrest him also??This is ridicules.Saudi authorities must obey the international law and release him immediately.

 

[wadi79]

Saudis shouldn't punish him for anything he said in Pakistan. If they objected to his views, they could have simply refused him a visa.If he said something within Saudi Arabia, he could have been deported - unless of course, he was inciting people to violence, which is a major crime and calls for punishment. Still, it does feel sad to think of the poor idiot getting 1,000 lashes.

Secondly, it is is ironical in the extreme that I and most other Indians on this forum find this treatment of Zaid Hamid by the Saudis shocking. Come to think of it, this man dreams of destroying our country, our constitution, our houses of worship and our way of life. Still, we don't hate him - we just think of him as an idiot, a mentally challenged person who doesn't know what he is talking about. Maybe this is what is wrong with our culture - we are not so much into blind hatred, even against those who openly talk of killing us. Maybe this is what makes us soft against religious zealots who have hit us time and again in our history. This is what separates us from these monsters, but sadly, this is also what makes us vulnerable to these monsters.

I am proud of who I am. Why would I want to be 'superior' Arab like this Prince Bandar Sultan of Saudia Arabia. I will stick to being 'below their class'.

Or this Qatar Royal

Or Sultan Qaboos

Guess? What? We found oil. What is oil ?

Well, I do not remember now exactly the name of the show but I remember that anchor said that in 1960's Saudi prince and royalty were received by Pakistani Mayors and soon after Oil money everything changed

 

[Pakistani E]

We Pakistanis have no shame, this is a Pakistani citizen. I am 100% opposed to his beliefs and ideals but arresting someone based on their views while they are there for Umrah is the most lowliest act possible. But thn again this is the corrupt, shameless house of Saud who rode on the shoulders of the British to get them their own country. I hope and Pray the house of Saud is overthrown and they are held accountable for being the crazy ******* they are.

And why aren't the Pakistani Government doing anything? Remember when all our so called religious parties protested for Aafia Siddiqui? Is it only because the Americans took her and this guy is imprisoned by your masters the saudis who feed you with their oil money that you are not coming out on to the streets?

 

[Levina]

They are trying to prove a point & convey a message to Pakistan post their denial to join the party in Yemen

And Zaid hamid is their scape goat.

Selective outrage always lacks credibility, as I have mentioned many a time here.

And Zaid hamid is their scape goat.

Careful now, they are rumored to do unmentionables to goats sometimes.

True. I understand many royals used to come to Karachi to get a education but then oil changed everything.


Ps. I never agreed with any of his diatribes but I resent the way the Saudia are treating him. Our government needs to put pressure on him and get him back home. Sometimes I even felt he himself did not believe the stuff he said but it gave him exposure and publicity. He hade a name for himself. Some people like being in the limelight and I think he was one of them. Even the way he dressed it was all drama and theatrics.

Of course, it is Ramadan that is why I asked you to stop mentioning the unmentionables!

May be he is undercover on a top secret mission?

Absolutely buddy.
Arabs are always straight forward in nature.They wont show that great morality like ours.
If you hurt them they will kill you.

capturing a clown and whipping his as* cant possibly be a 'message'.

yet another blatant racist comment.

 

[SrNair]

And Zaid hamid is their scape goat.

They knew the popularity of Zaid Hamid in Pakistan.And they were looking for a chance to prove their superiority after that Yemen issue.
And they humiliated the entire Pakistan withthese single bait.

He was cursing the India and praising ummah in his entire life .
Now he gpt a royal treatment of 8 years with and additional incentive of 1200 lashes.

 

[senses]

is it confirmed that he has been arrested or yet to be confirmed ? I don't take social media as a credible source.
