Twitter Users To Saudi Arabia: "Sue Me"

By Jacob Steinblatt
Reddit and Twitter users are comparing Saudi Arabia to ISIS and daring the kingdom to sue them after reports that the country is planning to sue an unidentified Twitter user who said that the death sentence handed down to a Palestinian poet for apostasy is “ISIS-like.”
A Saudi court sentenced Ashraf Fayadh, the poet, to death on Friday for abandoning the Muslim faith, a capital crime in the country.
Redditors and Twitter users called out the Saudi government, as posts with thousands of upvotes and hundreds of retweets compared Saudi Arabia to the terror group ISIS. Posters also are challenging the government to sue them as well.

    While they're at it, sign me up for a lawsuit, too. Killing people because they have different beliefs seems to me to be the epitome of ISIS like behavior.
