Saudi cleric Fayhan al-Ghamdi was charged in November with horrifically raping, mutilating and killing his five year old daughter because he claimed she was no longer a virgin. He received a light sentence and no jail time after having paid the mother of his child $50,000 in "blood money."
Fayhan al-Ghamdi is a frequent guest on Islamic TV programs, but as a child abuser and self-confessed murderer, his moral authority is non-existent. US media companies operating in the Middle East should be barred from having him appear on their networks, and he should under no circumstances be allowed to travel inside the United States.
