Jesus tattoo warrants arrest in Saudi Arabia

No depictions of contrasting religions, especially when embedded into the human body, says Islam so, Jose Pablo Pina has been arrested for displaying his Jesus in public. Some Muslims complained and the next thing Pina knows is that he is at the police station, apologising for insulting Islam.

Good dhimmi, Pino.

Saudi Arabia arrests Colombian soccer player over religious tattoos

A Colombian soccer player was arrested in Saudi Arabia Monday for displaying religious tattoos.

Colombian-born Juan Pablo Pino was arrested by the Saudi moral police after customers in a Riyadh shopping mall expressed

outrage over the sports player's religious tattoos, which included the face of Jesus of Nazareth on his arm.

Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative countries in the Muslim world, and according to one of the country's most respected

clerics, Nayimi Sheik Mohammed, Saudi law prohibits tattoos, no matter what their form, and every player has to abide with these

rules.

The cleric went on to stress the importance of respecting the status of "Sharia" (Islamic law) and that the tattoos must be covered

at all times.

Pino, who plays in the Saudi league, has expressed "deep sorrow" for his actions and said he respects the laws of the country.

He

was released from custody when a team delegate arrived and discussed the matter with the police.

A similar event occurred in Saudi Arabia last year when a Romanian player kissed the tattoo of a cross he had on his arm after

scoring a goal, which also caused public outrage.
