Born in Qateef in 1970, Sadeq Abdul Kareem Malallah (Arabic: ) was a Saudi Arabian, who was charged with blasphemy and apostasy while in prison, and executed for the latter crimes in 1992.〔("DOCUMENT - SAUDI ARABIA: AN UPSURGE IN PUBLIC EXECUTIONS" ), Amnesty International〕 He was of a Shia Muslim background. The ''Washington Post'' reported the execution, in an article by Carlyle Murphy on 1 October 1992. It was reported that he had been executed in Qateef on 3 September 1992, after having been convicted of throwing stones at a police car in 1988 and imprisoned for five years in Mababeth prison. During his imprisonment, he faced further charges that he had "insulted God, the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad." He is alleged to have said that Muhammad was "a liar and swindler" who practised witchcraft and consorted with demons. Before his execution, he had appealed to two appeal courts, which upheld his conviction, as did King Fahd. Because a Qateef judge alleged that he had smuggled a Bible into the country, his case is often misrepresented in the blogosphere as having been "executed for owning a Bible".〔(Clive Davis: A lesson in tolerance )〕〔(Cripe's Corner: May 2005 )〕〔(The Wall Street Journal Online - Featured Article )〕 ==External links== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sadeq Mallallah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
