I remember hearing about this when he was first sentenced to death. The worst part is what he did isn't a crime in his home country, and he was on a religious pilgrimage. Saudi Arabia should not be able to detain people who are on a religious pilgrimage, commit no crime in Saudi Arabi, nor have arrest warrants in their home country. Basically what they've done is said this man isn't a good muslim so they're going to execute him. I'm not a fan of religion in general, but people should be allowed to practice their faith without fear that they're going to be killed for something that was perfectly legal where they came from.
