When he refused, a case of ‘blasphemy’ was registered at the police station and they now want to have him arrested.” In related news, today Kuwait’s parliament “passed amendments to the Gulf state’s penal code stipulating the death penalty for those who curse God, Islam’s Prophet Mohammed or his wives.” However, they made no change to the penalty for playing a joke national anthem at a sporting event.
