El bloguero palestino Waleed Jalid Hasayin (seudónimo: Waleed Al-Husseini) [ar], un peluquero de 26 años de la ciudad de Qalqiliya, Cisjordania, ha sido arrestado por las autoridades palestinas por crear una página de Facebook llamada «Allah» (Alá). Según la bloguera Marwa Rakha [ar], la página fue reportada y cerrada, pero Waleed creó otra [ar]. Cabe destacar que otras páginas que llevan el nombre «Allah» siguen activas aquí y aquí [ar, las 2]:
On his blog «Nour Al Akl» or The enlightened Mind, he refuted all religious arguments – specially Islam – and he wrote long detailed posts on the fallacy of religions. In the beginning of Summer 2010, a facebook page titled «Allah» was created by an anonymous user. The creator of the page used his excellent command of the Arabic language and composed poetic stanzas that mimic Qura'anic verses. The page attracted many fans; there were those who liked the creativity of the author, those who were offended and joined to defend their religion, and those who were merely curious.
Según este informe [en], un empleado de un café internet en el que Waleed pasaba varias horas al día (luego de que la madre de éste le cancelara la conexión a internet en su casa), les suministró a los servicios de inteligencia palestinos instantáneas de sus páginas de Facebook. Sus actividades en línea habían sido monitoreadas durante algunos meses antes que lo arrestaran en el café internet el 31 de octubre de 2010. Todavía no han presentado acusación formal contra Waleed. Un grupo de Facebook [ar] y una petición en línea [en] en apoyo se crearon en los últimos días:
News has surfaced that [Waleed] is undergoing torture where he is being detained and that his life is at the stake because he could very likely be facing a death sentence (at best prolonged imprisonment), and in addition, the angry Muslim masses are demanding his head, as also evidenced by their comments on reports of his case in the internet. The Palestinian intelligence has reportedly told the media that he will be referred for a martial court. His legal position is not clear, and all evidence is pointing to that he will be brutally persecuted for using his right to freedom of expression. Waleed's case is of utmost importance because it also signifies the persecution of a whole minority class which is atheists and freethinkers in the Muslim world. Waleed needs the attention of the international media, plus strong legal assistance which his friends and supporters unfortunately are not able to provide for him.
