A human rights group has condemned the sentencing of a Kuwaiti man to five years in prison for a comment he made on Twitter about Sunni-Shia theology.
Musab Shamsah was convicted on Monday of insulting the Prophet Muhammad with a tweet on the role of imams in Islam.
He was the second Kuwaiti to be found guilty of such a charge in three weeks.
It was an "insult for all Kuwaitis for the government to give itself the authority to decide what's insulting to religion", Human Rights Watch said.

Funny how Allah can't press his omnipotent finger on someone's broadband cable. I bet the NSA could have blocked that tweet!
