I’m less optimistic than you.

I find being optimistic in these cases helps maintain my sanity. I’m going to remain optimistic with the Saudis. They would have much to lose if they execute Hamza Kashgari not only for their own people but Islam at large. Executing him on blasphemy charges would only feed into a stereotype. I think the Saudis are bigger than this. Executing him is something that the Taliban would do. There is hope for Kashgari.
