DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - A Saudi high-school chemistry teacher accused of discussing religion with his students has been sentenced to 750 lashes and 40 months in prison for blasphemy, officials said Thursday.

The court ruling was condemned by human rights activists, who said Mohammed Salamah al-Harbi was being imprisoned for having an ``open discussion'' with students.

Al-Harbi was convicted of questioning and ridiculing Islam, discussing the Bible and defending Jews, judicial officials said Thursday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

That's TERRIBLE!!! :eek: Will it really happen do you think? I can only hope that public opinion will reverse the verdict (as it did when the Muslim, Nigerian woman was sentenced to death for having a baby outside of marriage).
