I do not know if this video is what it says it is, but, I have heard of the Mormon practice of ‘baptizing’ people long dead in order to make them members of the Mormon Church – even if only posthumously.
Creepy in the extreme!

Free Saudi Liberals
July 18, 2012 — xanthippaUPDATED on 9th of January, 2015
Raif Badawi had been sentenced to flogging with 1 000 lashes and 5 years in jail. For more info, click here.
The website is in Arabic, but since it is easy to get translated (not well, but understandably), please, feel free to visit the site ‘Free Saudi Liberals’.
According to Human Rights Watch, that website’s creator Ra’if Badawi has been arrested and charged under the cyber-crimes law for having created and operated this website. Apparently, providing a forum where people can discuss matters of concern ‘infringes on religious values’.
He is also criminally charged with ‘not obeying his father’…
From Reuters:
‘Court documents show the evidence against Badawi includes a post on the website that asks, “is God unjust?”, sarcastic remarks about the Saudi religious police and a senior scholar, and a post that asks, “why is Saudi’s Grand Mufti blind?”‘
Online political forums are important to society.
And, it is not only in Saudi Arabia that online forums are targeted by censors. Right here, in Canada, the methods may be civil rather than criminal law, but, the impulse to censor is the same. At least here, we can help people who are unfairly targeted raise the funds for their defense.

Egyptian MP Hamdi Fakhrani: I Was Beaten Up by President Morsi’s Supporters
July 12, 2012 — xanthippaA duly elected member of the new Egyptian government appeals the President’s decision to the courts for a fair ruling: for this, he is attacked by a mob of Islamist Muslim Brotherhood thugs who tear his clothes and, had the police not intervened, would have torn him to pieces.
This does not bode well for the future lives of regular Egyptians…
