What? You really think it's all about liberating some poor saps in Afghanistan that been that way for the last few millennia? Not even the soviets that could deal with heavy losses could take over Afghanistan, neither the brits with their strategies and mixed armies after nearly taking over quarter of the world. Even Alexander the Great avoided them. And now USA is there just of pure altruism? Stop watching fox news, talibans are not alqaeda. Iraq really needed that liberation so that USA and the brits could get all those nice contracts.
I doubt someone would stop you to leave unless you apostate while they can stop you leaving. Ever heard about those SMART asylum seekers apostate when reaching their future host country and not before leaving their home country. I.e. that saudi reporter or whatever that was taken down by interpol. He had no problem leaving the country, his only problem was that he decided to apostate while he was still in saudi arabia, and very publicly so when he did it everyone knew it, so they took him down while he was en route to his safe destination (NZ/AU).
Funny enough, plenty people are going to find Zimmerman a scary dude and probably other latinos living in fenced off places. So he shouldn't be to surprised when someone puts a bullet in him because they got scared of a wanna-be militia man running around with an "assault pistol something" (isn't that what his gun was?).
We are experiencing this in Sweden at the moment. He is a psychological doctor that was in an investigation concerning children from war torn countries apathy where his conclusions based on racism instead of medical and psychological science had very hard consequences on these children. It resulted instead of them getting the help they needed to deal with their suffering they were called liars and expelled from Sweden and returned back to war and families split.
Do we really need people who can't separate personal opinion especially when it comes to racism to have such an important jobs where they have to deal with people of all creeds and races? Considering the consequences that might have on individuals and society as whole? Especially when they are not smart enough to see beyond bigoted pseudoscience and instead deal with individuals.
I'm not going to argue with you, but your self-importance and naivite is astounding. I do not think they bother about "our freedoms" that we have and live with ourself. Only when we try to force "our freedoms" and value system upon them in their own countries and cultures they will fight back and criticize, just like we are criticizing them. The screaming and burning flag matches are childish and should not end up with war. But it is obvious that we get way more upset when some backward oil rich kingdom thinks we suck than when some backward canadian holed up in some mountain hole. Everyone says their country is better and that the others are backwards and losers.
It is interesting how U.S. corporations and government is doing all it can to destroy their market for business and influx of money for the sake of shortsighted economical benefits. They are setting up themselves and their corporations to be strong armed by other jurisdictions who will use this as an excuse to protect their markets and businesses. And what about scaring off foreign investors all ccTLDs that are under U.S. companies are going now to be avoided. The U.S. brand is dying slowly because of stupidity and greed. Welcome to the 21st century.
Let's simply use the common definition and stop this cracker/hacker thing. "Hackers" are simply people who find solutions to problems so that they can do whatever they are trying to do. Nowadays people use black/grey/white/blue/red -hat words for that stuff you are talking about.
Muslims don't pray to Muhammed so it was probably not that statement that made them want to arrest him. It was probably something in line with "won't accept Muhammed as a prophet" or "I'm atheist now" or "agnostics rule!".
What he did is not ethical according to me. He did this for monetary gains plain and simple. If facebook decided to prosecute I do not hold that against them. More menacing ones are probably going to take his place and make it even more expensive for facebook.
He found a security breach great. He want's to disclose it to Facebook while at the same time receive monetary compensation why else would he negotiate with facebook and point out that he has yet to do something bad with the code such as release it in the wild and point out that he was successful previously with the same approach. Unless he informed Facebook even while the negotiation failed it was blackmail. Not very ethical...
Muhammed was a historical person and is very well documented by non-muslim sources that lived at the same time. All the way from kings, to scribes and historians. Most other if not all of the other prophets have no documentation whatsoever. My professor once told me only ignorants deny his existence. Denying that he existed even though there are facts to support this is not the same as denying him being what he claimed to be.
That is the bible you are quoting and not shariah. They might be synonymous but they are certainly not the same.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT
'If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.'
No more pedofile than the vatican where the age of consent is 12 no matter if the child has reached sexual maturity or not. Only in 1910 England decided to change the age of consent from 10-12 (depending on where) to a higher age. In spain the age of consent is 13, Austria 14, whether they take notice of 'reaching sexual maturity' or not I do not know.
And..do not forget the torah, bible, talmud and the new testament...some go as low as 3 months.
Because this guy is stupid beyond belief. He decided to break local laws and regulations in a state that is the 'mothership' of this religion and that actually enforces these laws with severity. Laws that he before getting visa/entry to country signed off that he was under. No matter what one thinks about these laws, and other countries stupid laws that suppresses freedom of expression, this guy decided to insult them too.
And no matter where you go you are always under local laws, break a law in USA, England, Europe, Scandinavia, Israel no matter where you are from, those local laws applies even though you think they are foolish. He should have waited until he was in different jurisdiction and then tried to 'promote' freedom of speech instead of setting in back a few decades.
He signed a contract when he got his visa/entered the country and reminded that he would be judged under the saudiarabian laws. Still he decided to break saudi laws (no matter what you think about them) while being in saudi arabia. He is stupid and put himself into this mess.
Would you go to germany and start talking about freedom of speech and holocaust in germany? No, I don't think so because local laws would have you put in jail for the next 10 years. But outside of germany you are free to do as you please, and so was this idiot. He should have waited until he left saudi arabia before making those comments where he would not be making himself a criminal.

Anarchism is actually on the extreme right. Communists are looking for a strong all encompassing state.

Pashto is spoken by 50% of the Afghans. Maybe that changed after 10 years of war as most pashtun people are taliban.
Well I've lived too, and I say you don't know.
Why don't you quote his "cotton picking" and "cock sucking" tweets too...
Mod parent up!

But they sure can make it hell to try to fly...
Retroactive retracting of "freedom" of press...

Yeah, and they say "terrorists" hate "our freedom"...

Seriously, this is not applicable here!

Yes, like atheism is to communism.
Tell that to communists promoting atheism all over Soviet.
You are forgetting the keyword: TECHNICALITY
What to say they won't change it to capital punishment in the future and some poor bastard that can't get away on a 'technicality'...
