you had no reason to offend another religion. you take religion lightly. you should be educated on other cultures. it is not smart to see people dying for their religion all around the world, and then go around offending them claiming that it is your digital right. that is extremely apathetic. im against you being jailed, but i am with you being outcast from society until you appreciate other people's cultures. You d…
this is not about religion. this is about the idiots who think the religion is untouchable. how come a religion is getting offended by a picture. can a picture make you think that your religion is less valuable after you see it? imagine that i'm worshiping to cream cheese and you laugh on that. so now i have enough reason to jail you, even better, kill you. because cream cheese said so.
so you're saying a rude picture is not offensive? how can i argue with you?

there is respect even between enemies. if his religion is anti religious, then he should respect them even more because they are his opponents. taking your enemies lightly is reckless.
That's one of the stupidest things I've ever read.
its interesting that you find this stupid, but not the fact that his religion is anti-relgious. you're really smart.

#164Escape the country. Going into a foreign embassy is not gonna do you any good. "The Free World" spies on, and jails its own people, and it will not risk another Mohammad cartoongate helping you. So don't even think about requesting asylum at an embassy. Sell all you own and head to the nearest border/coastal town. Pay off smugglers or fishermen and get the fuck out.
Agreed. You need to leave. Now. Sell your stuff, get currency, use your international connections. It's going to be the hardest thing you've ever done, but liberty is the most important. Who knows what will happen in prison and for how long they will detain you. Also, depending on how technically competent your government is, you need to get all your services offshore now: Wuala for storage (like dropbox - based in S…
Singapore will also jail you if you did what he did, but in Singapore people know the consequences and generally don't fight the Government Rules. He is in Malaysia and the only way for him is to get out of the country which may be easier if you have the right connections.
It is a very sad state of affairs if pranks by intelligent kids are used against them not because of the actual prank but as a scapegoat so that others don't do this and it is also sad that intelligent people don't understand the consequences of their action and pranks are not worth 8 years in prison.

Well that attitude offends my religion. By your own logic you should be arrested, thrown in jail and outcast from society.
yes if you can prove i offended your religion then i should be outcast. when did i exclude myself?
fyi, me and my 59836 friends believes that the computer keyboards are our gods. and our religion says that if a person from another religion touches a keyboard he should be outcasted.

offending a religion for no reason is not equal to pissing someone off. i doubt you will be responsible for any judgement with that level of intellect.
Offending a religion is just pissing a bunch of people off. So instead of one person that needs to grow up its a whole bunch of them. Difference in degree, not in kind.
your value of a bunch of people is amazing.

#167"posted religiously-insensitive photograph" is a very vague statement. Many questions come to mind. - What is the nature of photographs? - Were you exposing some kind the truth and got caught up by legal loopholes or an inherently unjust law in your country? - Did you knowingly break a law which has existed in your country for a long time? - Does the nature of your photographs insults someone's faith and or religion…

Hmm. If he is being prosecuted for teasing fasting Muslims with food, it is just idiotic and with absolutely no legal precedence from authentic Islamic history. (Yes, I am a fasting Muslim too)
Problem with "hurting the sentiments" style cases everywhere is that usually there is absolutely no guidelines or legal framework on what constitutes "hurting the sentiments" and it boils down to the men/women judging the case.

#168Contact me at daniel dot boles at gmail dot com. Maybe we can work something out.
Right, a Gmail address. Like he should write anything sensitive there.
he wasn't suggesting that he'd help him escape the country or avoid his sentence. More likely he was suggesting he could help him with his original question - how to keep his business running. Business emails are moderately sensitive, but most people don't seem to have a problem trusting google (and so the NSA) with that type of information.

And then?
Now that it came to light that you are in Malaysia, I would modify my initial suggestion.
1) I don't recommend escape as before. I was fearing you might be in an Arab country. Malaysia has what vaguely resembles a law, at least.
2) On the other hand, you are ethnic Chinese. I'd tell the lawyer to bring up the issue of your safety in prison.
Man, my heart is seriously aching for you, specially after reading your story. Be safe.
