I don’t think the rumors were that he would be released – or if they were I missed them. The report I passed on was that the death penalty was off the table, and that he’s being held for his own safety; but I updated that after I read Maryam’s post, which said that was wrong.
Clearly there are conflicting reports now, and we just don’t know. Assume the worst until we know for sure that it’s wrong.
Islam is a mental illness…. The fact this would even bother anyone is pathetic…To call for the death sentence is just insane…..never mind his perceived insult, Islam is the retardation of humanity, and Mohamed is it’s messenger,

So the rumors he would be released aren’t true?

I’ve just read Maryam’s post. He’s still being held.
