Hindu man facing beheading in Saudi Arabia for “blasphemous” Facebook post

Dec 28, 2016 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Hindu man from Telangana languishing in Saudi jail for his ‘blasphemous’ FB post. Save him from Sharia Execution.

Saudi Arabia — ruled by Sharia — also carries out dozens of beheadings, yet Western analysts still claim that the Islamic State is an aberrant entity.

“FREE PONNAM SHANKAR FROM SAUDI JAIL TO SAVE HIM FROM SHARIA EXECUTION”, by Upendra Bharati, Hindu Existence (thanks to The Religion of Peace), December 25, 2016:

Ponnam Shankar of Shalapalli village in Pegadapalli block of Telengana was arrested by Riyadh police in Saudi Arabia last month. His only crime was to post an FB post in which he showed Lord Shiva superimposed over picture of Islamic holy Kaba. He posted the pic on November 12 as alleged and was arrested by the shariah police on November 21, under the charge of blasphemy after thorough investigations by the local agencies.

As per available reports, Shankar studied up to sixth class and was migrated to Gulf nations to eke out a living with a job of gardener.

When Shankar’s mother and brother in India approached Gulf Returnees Welfare Society president “Chand Pasha” for assistance in the matter, he advised them to approach the Collector and added that “Shankar had committed serious crime as per Gulf Nation’s laws and he would be punished severely”.

As per Saudi Shariah law Ponnam Shankar, a Hindu, is obviously treated as a ‘kaffir’ and severe punishment of ‘blasphemy’ is meant for ‘public execution (beheading)’ in any black Friday as the norms of the state….

Though the family members of Shankar approached the local authority in Telangana for the rescue of the victim from Saudi jail, there is no development in any part in Telangana Govt of the Union Govt of India so far. The news of this incident was published in The Hindu in its web edition in 22 Dec+ and print edition in day next.

The news is leading to a beheading of Shankar in public without any interference of Govt of India as obvious.

If there is any killing of Shankar under a law of Shariah in Saudi, The PM of India – Shri. Narendra Modi, Indian External Minister- Smt. Sushma Swaraj, Ministers of States (External Affairs) – Shri Vijay Kumar Singh and Janab M J Akbar will be responsible for this cool blooded Islamic murder of an Indian citizen in Saudi Arabia.

The leaders of RSS, VHP also will be equally responsible as they haven’t raised any voice in favour of Shankar to rescue him from Saudi…..

    Big mistake moving to Saudi Arabia. Never ever do that. Don’t even visit the place. Too dangerous for Infidel.

      Amen. And if you must go there, keep your mouth shut and your head on a swivel.

        Are spectators allowed? Can they live-stream the event?
        Maybe we can join a UN Hangout or something?
        Yes, the whole show takes but a minute but the pre-show
        also features a few more heads, so it promises to be an
        exciting show.

      Yeah stay in hindia where untold millions of little girls lives are taken each year. Or visit the USA where lord Vivek murthy heads our deathcare system. Vivek urges obummer to end auto sales in USA citing driving deaths to be leading cause of death, Behind being WHITE. Vivek also came up with new design for bathrooms in America which narrowly passed senate approval. Viva viveek ????

        So you are fine with this poor man being beheaded by Muslim barbarians because there are perceived problems with bathrooms in the United States?

        And no–not even Obama is going to try to end automobile sales in the US–by the way, I missed the call for that, and can find no reference when Googling–or to the supposed new Senate-mandated bathroom designs.

        Yes–there are problems in Dar-al-Harb–but to pretend that these are as bad as Muslims beheading innocent people for non-violent Facebook posts is just witless false moral equivalence.

          Imagine if Saudis were held to the same standards which they demand of others. Then, the Saudi student who desecrated the Buddhist temple in Japan several years ago would be publicly executed with a samurai sword, or he would have to spend at least 5 years i prison, and a colorful image of Buddha would be tattooed on his back or chest.

        False equivalence and unwrit large. You in fact sound like a very foolish and uneducated person.

          Not at all. The Saudi educational system in general instills disrespect towards other religions, even towards Shiite Muslims. However let a Hindu guy post an offensive image on Facebooks and he supposedly deserves to be put to death.

        I googled the phrase – Vivek Murthy Bathroom. Nothing significant comes up. Seems like Jackie_Cox is on the wrong site. Look for a site called Hindia Watch or something like that.

    While absurd, you have to recognize the culture a bit. In the USA, we ban certain things (child pornography, threatening the president, etc). Beheading is certainly extreme but there are some rules, and this is extremely offensive to their values, such as they are.

    • Mockingjay says

      If your only comment on this is that “we have to “recognize the culture a bit”…,
      – then I REALLY do think that you’ve “sort of” erred onto the wrong website here at JW.

      All right, but they could sentence the guy to a couple of years in prison, then fine and deport him permanently. However in Saudi even secular and atheist Saudi bloggers face hundreds of lashes, so the dispropotionate sentence in this case is not very surprising.

    His only crime was to post an FB post in which he showed Lord Shiva superimposed over picture of Islamic holy Kaba.

    There’s a theory floating around that the kaabaa was a Shiva temple. Well, “theory” may be too strong of a word. Make that “claim” instead. It was made by Purushottam Nagesh Oak, who also claimed Christianity originally followed Krishna, with Jesus having lived in India and learned “Krishna-neeti” there.

    Saudi Arabia imposing Sharia even on the non-muslims. The only religion that is arrogant enough to do that.

    What does “Islamic holy Kaba” mean?

    The pathetic irony Robert Saudis can post the most vile Anti-Semitic FB or Twitter postings without repercussions in the name of Allah since it’s in the Quran.Yet one mention that is remotely interpreted against Mohamed Allah the Royals or the Quran receives a death sentence where ever that person may live regardless of that person’s faith. The assumed Supremacist posture of the Muslim is nauseating and criminal. Does the investigative Media expose this to the Public? No!

    “Call me ISLAM”…I am corrupt, evil, and RACIST!
