Interpol "red notice" causes arrest of man for allegedly insulting Mohammed

When conservatives warn that the U.N. and other international agencies have a pro-Islam agenda and regularly over-reach, liberals/"progressives"/Democrats laugh and snicker about tinfoil hats and how easily conservatives are spooked.

Well, check this out: Seems a 23-year-old Saudi, Hamza Kashgar, posted three comments on Twitter that were interpreted by many Muslims as insulting Mohammed. In short order 13,000 Muslim fanatics in Saudi had joined a Facebook page demanding that the guy be executed for the alleged insult (quoted in full below).

Understandably fearing for his life, Kashgar decided to ask for asylum in New Zealand.  Unfortunately the flight to NZ had a stop in Indonesia.

This had a crucial effect on the 23-year-old's life, because even though Indonesia doesn't have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia, it has a Muslim government.

Saudi authorities asked the international police agency Interpol to put out an arrest notice for Kashgar. Acting on this alert, Indonesian authorities arrested him and plan to turn him over to Saudi authorities.

Now, because Indonesia is just another wacko Muslim country of no significance to Americans, very few of you grasp the significance or danger of that story, so let me explain: Muslim fanatics were able to use an international police agency--one fully supported by the government of the U.S.--to arrest a guy in another country for making a remark they found insulting to their religion.

If you did something that some crazed raghead imam in Saudi Arabia (or any other Muslim country) screamed had offended Mohammed, what agency or law would prevent exactly the same thing from happening to you?

Answer: Absolutely nothing.


Oh, and the allegedly insulting tweet--the one that 13,000 wackos found offensive enough to call for the death of the person who posted it? "I have loved things about you and I have hated things about you and there is a lot I don't understand about you … I will not pray for you."

God help us. Because our elected officials demonstrably are not and will not. In fact they seem to be actively helping to install islamic laws here in the U.S.

Update:  In February of 2012 Kashgar was turned over to Saudi authorities.  He has been in jail in Saudi Arabia ever since and faces a possible death penalty.
