Kuwait death penalty law for blasphemy

Remember that these are the people we went to war for in the first Gulf war.  All that we have gotten for our sacrifices is a reversion to an even more barbaric and backwards version of Islam.  No good deed goes unpunished, especially when trying to help a mindless, fanatical cult.

Kuwait death penalty law for blasphemy

The Kuwaiti parliament yesterday passed a draft bill toughening the penalty against blasphemy to death, the state news agency reported. The parliament approved the draft by a majority of 40 lawmakers, with six opposing, according to the agency. Blasphemy was previously an offence punishable by jail in the Gulf country. Under the amended bill, any Muslim found guilty of insulting God, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or his wives, will be punished by death, said the agency. For non-Muslims, the offence will be punished by a maximum 10-year prison sentence, according to the report. The amendment has yet to be ratified by the country’s emir, Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah.
