3 | The news broke on Twitter on Monday morning when journalist Khaled al Matrafi @Almatrafi announced [ar]: | Nalaza tao amin'ny Twitter ny vaovao tamin'ny Alatsinainy maraina raha nilaza [tamin'ny teny arabo] ilay mpanao gazety Khaled al Matrafi @Almatrafi: |

6 | Al-Hamad, a political analyst and novelist, has published a series of controversial tweets Saturday criticizing Islamists who, he said, “have distracted us with nonsense that we forgot the important issues.” | Al-Hamad, mpanadihady ara-politika sy mpanoratra tantara foronina, namoaka andiana sioka nampiadi-hevitra tamin'ny Asabotsy izay mitsikera ny Islamista, hoy izy nilaza, “mampiala voly antsika amin'ny hadalany ny Islamista mba hanadinointsika izay zava-dehibe.” |
7 | In his next tweet he likened Islamism to Nazism. | Tamin'ny siokany manaraka, nampitaha ny Islamisma tamin'ny Nazisma ity . |
8 | “But the age of Nazism is long gone,” he said, “and the sun will rise again.” | “Saingy efa ela no nanjavona ny taonan'ny Nazisma,” hoy izy, “ka mbola hiposaka indray ny masoandro.” |
9 | However, the tweet that seemed to have caused the strongest reaction from conservatives on Twitter came earlier that day. | Na dia izany aza, vao maraimbe no nandefasana ilay sioka tao amin'ny Twitter izay niteraka fihetseham-po goavana teo amin'ireo mpandala ny mahazatra. |
10 | In that tweet he said: “Our Prophet has come to rectify the faith of Abraham, and now is a time when we need someone to rectify the faith of Mohammed.” | Amin'izany sioka izany, hoy izy: “Tonga hanitsy ny finoan'i Abrahama ny mpaminanintsika, ary ankehitriny, tonga ny fotoana ilàntsika olona hanitsy ny finoan'i Mohammed.” |
11 | The incendiary Tweet [ar] in question is dated December 22nd: | Tamin'ny 22 Desambra ilay Sioka [ar] mirehidrehitra no nivoaka: |
12 | @TurkiAlHamad: Our Prophet has come to rectify the faith of Abraham, and now is a time when we need someone to rectify the faith of Mohammed. | @TurkiAlHamad: Tonga hanitsy ny finoan'i Abrahama ny mpaminanintsika, ary fotoana ilàntsika olona hanitsy ny finoan'i Mohammed ankehitriny. |
13 | For the alarmed Saudi Twittersphere, news of the arrest was condemned as an attack on free speech in the very conservative kingdom where criticism of religion, the royal family and government are not tolerated. | Teo amin'ny tontolon'ny Twitter Saodiana, nampangaina ho manohintohina ny fahalalaham-pitenena ny vaovao mikasika ny fisamborana eo anivon'ny fanjakana tena mpandala ny nentin-drazana izay tsy azo leferina mihitsy ny fitsikerana ny fivavahana, ny fianakavian'ny mpanjaka sy ny governemanta. |
14 | The hashtag #اعتقال_تركي_الحمد (#ArrestOfTurkiHamad) reflected a movement of solidarity as well as a heated debate. | Naneho hetsi-piraisankina ny tenifototra #اعتقال_تركي_الحمد (#Fisamboranaan'iTurkiHamad), tao ihany koa ny adihevitra mafana. |
15 | As some voiced their disagreement with Hamad's views, @abdulazizbulbul replied: | Ho an'ireo sasany naneho ny tsy fanekeny ny fijerin'i Hamad, @abdulazizbulbul namaly hoe: |
16 | Its your right to be disappointed or disagree, but his right to express his views without being arrested. | Zonao ny ho diso fanantenana sy tsy mankatò, saingy zony kosa ny maneho ny fijeriny ao anatin'ny tsy fisamborana. |
17 | And @m_alwade said [ar]: | @m_alwade nilaza hoe [ar]: |
18 | I do not agree with Turki's declaration but being in the position of a despot is a bigger crime than #Hamad's tweeting. | Tsy miombon-kevitra amin'ny fijerin'i Turki aho saingy heloka bevava goavana kokoa ny fitondrana didy jadona noho ny #siokan'i Hamad. |
19 | At the time of writing, it is unclear whether the writer has been arrested or if he's being held for questioning by the authorities according to @fSabouni: | Nandritra ny fotoana nanoratana ny lahatsoratra, tsy fantatra mazava raha nosamborina ilay mpanoratra na notazonina hataon'ny manampahefana famotorana fotsiny araka ny filazan'i @fSabouni: |
20 | With regards to the previous tweet, other sources claim that Turki Al-Hamad is only being questioned over the tweets and was not arrested. | Tsy tahaka ny sioka teo aloha, nilaza ny loharanom-baovao hafa fa natao famotorana mahakasika ireo sioka fotsiny i Turki Al-Hamad fa tsy nosamborina. |
21 | An advocate of liberal Islam, the author of the trilogy Atyaf al-Aziqah al-Mahjurah (Phantoms of the Deserted Alley) whose work has been banned in his home country as well as in Bahrain and Kuwait writes about the taboos of Saudi society and does not shy away from discussing religion, politics and sex. | Mpomba ny Islamo liberaly, mpanoratra ny tohitelon-dahatsoratra (trilozia) Atyaf al-Aziqah al-Mahjurah (Matoatoan'ny lalankely foana) izay voaràra tao amin'ny fireneny sy tao Bahrain ary Koety ny asa-sorany, nanoratra momba ny fady eo amin'ny fiarahamonina Saodiana i Turki ary tsy matahotra miresaka momba ny finoana, politika sy fananahana. |
22 | Numerous fatwas have been issued against him, but despite that, he remained in Riyadh after obtaining his Ph.D from the University of Southern California. | Marobe ireo “fatwa” (didim-pitsarana) nanenjehana azy, saingy na dia teo aza izany, mbola tafatoetra tao Riyadh izy rehefa avy nahazo ny mari-pahaizana doktorà tao amin'ny Oniversiten'i Kalifornia Atsimo. |
23 | He is very critical of the Saudi government and Islamists. | Mpitsikera goavana ny governemanta sy ny Islamista izy. |
