Feminism, Atheism, and Homosexuality as "Forms of Extremism" 😶

A few days ago, a Saudi Arabian security agency — with a verified checkmark — tweeted a promotional video that listed feminism, homosexuality, and atheism as examples of extremism that must be opposed at all costs. Under Saudi law, supporting groups classified as extremist organizations can lead to imprisonment. Homosexuality and atheism have long been illegal and punishable by death in the absolute monarchy, where public protests and political parties are banned and the media is tightly controlled.

"Forms of extremism" sound like we atheism are terrorist now jajaja. That Saudi Arabia is a very weird country that only wants to maintain control of people. I hate the way they think and act.

I would love to be considered a free speech extremist in Saudi Arabia.

If this country did not have the oil they would get criticised a lot more for their repression of women and criminalising other activities. It's another case of religion as control.

muy interesante post

Extremist is the one who made the tweet, how will you consider this as something that should be punished, think like Hitler! As in the world there are people as public figures who make such terrorist comments, I hope that people react to this fact created on the social network of twitter and that no one has to be punished for the simple fact of having a different thought. History keeps repeating itself over and over again, as if people forgot what happened in the past, these thoughts of punishments and prisons for thinking differently create a lot of suffering and deaths.

Since when did atheism become a crime? I mean for that to be tweeted from a verified account is utterly disgraceful as much as we can reckon that the Saudis are strict with their laws, does it now mean one can't stay without practicing islamism? It's laughable though. Really laughable

Apostasy from Islam has always been a death sentence from Islam. If you've become an atheist you're in big trouble. I've heard ex Muslims tell me they know that their family has come to accept them having left Islam because they no longer try to kill them.

@atheistrepublic, In my opinion we are living in the times of Mass Judgements where one Human Being is judging fellow Human Beings.

Have a great time ahead and stay blessed.

Did you just bless an atheist?

Yes. I always greet my fellow human beings with good wishes, everyone is different and that's the beauty of diversification. Stay blessed.

We cannot talk about the country like Saudi Arabia which has its own rules. The country runs on its religious rules. They are doing the exact things that is written in their holy book. We should not talk on those things which we don't know.
Islam has has its own rules and regulations, and they are working under those rules.

Islam does not hart anyone. If someone does that, then they don't know very well about Islam. Islam is the religion of peace. Most atheists do not know Islam. atheists need Try to understand about Islam . The misconception will be broken

Any kind of fanatism is not good. All the movements should be peaceful. We shouldn't spead our ideas agressively.
