Mauritania Blogger Sentenced To Death For Apostasy by oyinremie: 3:49pm On Dec 26, 2014
A court in Mauritania has sentenced 28 year old blogger/journalist Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mkhaitir to death for apostasy for criticizing Prophet Muhammed. According to Reuters, the journalist was sentenced by a court in the northwestern city of Nouadhibou for an article he published almost a year ago, questioning some of the decisions Prophet Mohammed took during holy wars.
Some folks saw the article which he posted online and appeared on a number of websites and called for his arrest. He was arrested on January 2nd 2014 after the article sparked street protests and has been in custody ever since. When he appeared in court, he pleaded not guilty, telling the court that it was 'not his intention to harm the prophet' but he was still found guilty and sentenced to death under Sharia law. The prosecutors recommended that he be shot to death.

And this is one of the biggest differences
between Christianity and Islam. No person,
no matter how Christian the country, will be
jailed for writing anything about Jesus,
because Christianity is open and respects
people's rights to their own opinions. Yes,
you will be called out and criticized but no
one is gonna jail you.
Now, maybe Christianity was like this in the
old centuries but the religion has grown with
the times and I think that is what Islam
needs desperately to do;grow with the times!
You don't jail a guy for criticizing Mohammed
and then sentence him to the death. Heck, its
the 21st century!
