Kuwait's parliament has approved a law issuing the death penalty to Muslims who curse or slander God, the Quran, any of the prophets, and in particular, the Prophet Mohammed and his many wives, The Blaze website reports today (December 15, 2012).
Non-Muslims who engage in these forbidden acts will be sentenced to prison for no less than 10 years.
The National Security Society (NSS) reports that defendants who repent in court may be spared suffering capital punishment, but will still serve five years in prison, incur a fine of $36,000, or both.
Kuwaiti member of parliament Ali al-Deqbasi said, "We need this legislation because incidents of cursing God have increased. We need to deter them."
