Blasphemy laws

"Why not tell the truth and call the blasphemy law inhumane, evil and barbaric? Killing someone for expressing his views is not civil." Marisol writes at Jihad Watch about what is happening to a Saudi journalist who tweeted about what he thought of the prophet Mohammed: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/02/anything-that-is-not-complimentary-of-islam-is-inflammatory.html
Update: One of the issues important to this story is that Interpol, the international police organization, was used to catch the journalist in Malaysia and send him back to Saudi Arabia. Interpol is not supposed to be used on religious issues.
