A Saudi Arabian charity according to the BBC. Is it a valid point? How do we know the charity didn't proclaim his innocence? They probably did.

All the articles about him say he was a 'charity worker' or that he was 'working for an Islamic charity', but fail to mention which one it was..

He was working for an educational charity, which was focussed on building school buildings and digging wells for girls' schools in Afghanistan.

According to this he was building schools in areas that lacked adequate educational facilities.
Funny how some on this thread seem to regard normal Afghans as undeserving of charity.

RightoSaudi charity was it ?
You realise that education in Saudi is not quite as backward and draconian as you might believe? More girls graduate from university than boys over there.

Whatever happens this bloke is going to be viewed by many as a terrorist which will probably make his life a little uncomfortable upon his return. The bottom line is there appears to be little evidence to suggest he is a terrorist so he should be given the benefit of the doubt which is what we would expect of any person who was held without trial
Who has said that?
Those who seem to regard us being at war with NGOs.

I'm curious as to why the Saudis would imprison or torture him if he returned there? That's in the link you've posted. If he was working for a Saudi charity he wouldn't have done anything wrong in Saudi Arabia.

Says in the link
'illegally' marrying a foreign citizen... without permission, and for leaving the country without government consent'

How could he leave the country without government consent, when it was a Saudi charity? Was the charity illegal?
Yes, I read that in the link too. Didn't even realise those things were illegal in Saudi - geez, what a sh1thole!

Im guessing its when he left to marry in UK.
I dont think the charity is the reason.

You'd think he'd lose his job with the charity in that case. There's a lot of unanswered questions.

Different laws for different countries though isnt it. Saudi is the home of Islam. Its going to have wierdness going on.
I find things weird here. Police go mental if Im stopped for document checks (where else does that happen in Europe) and im not carrying ID, and end up paying a bribe, yet ive been smoking a joint in the street, and an officer has come to me to ask me if the car I was standing by was mine, completely ignoring the fact that me and my mate are standing there smoking joints.

It really depends (in bold) how he uses his time when he is out. I would like to think there is a possibility that he could be an inspiration for restraint against radicalisation. From the article posted http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...e-1914791.html he sounds like a rational and intelligent person.
