Hamza Kashgiri deported

Hamza Kashgiri, the young journalist accused of disrespecting the prophet Mohammad on Twitter, was deported from Malaysia to Saudi Arabia to stand trial for alleged blasphemy. The offense is punishable by death.
To the King of Saudi Arabia I say this: Our Holy Prophet Muhammad, if alive today, would surely be sobbing tears of despair if he witnessed the tyranny you impose on your people falsely in the name of what you call Islam.
