Citizen breaks laws of land, is punished.
Yes, 50 lashes per week for 20 weeks seems reasonable
Clearly it’s not reasonable in the least. You get worse for less there.

He didn’t actually break any laws, though. He criticised the government and was punished for that.
He was actually cited for apostasy, a conviction which carries an automatic death sentence.

…if he did that in Ireland he’d get a €25000 fine.
He got a $266,000 fine too.
Expel who now? The human rights watch?
the religion of peace and love yo, quit yer whining
Still got nothing on the Spanish Inquisition…. they were beyond messed up
Take that Christians! No more digs at Islam for mutilating, murdering and beating people from people who follow a religion that tortured and burned some people hundreds of years ago.
Christians still do horrible things. Its more like, how about other religion that professes to be about love and peace also did some d*** things and then got its act together so stop going on about how this other religion must be all evil because of a few numpties.
In Myanmar, Buddhists are hacking civilians heads off for not following their religion. In Hollywood theyre having lattés with Richard Gere and playing with their sand gardens.
Go fig.
Totally cray-cray right?
