Sadeq Mallallah

Sadeq Abdul Kareem Malallah (Arabic: صادق عبد کریم مال‌الله‎; born in Qateef in 1970) was a Shiite Saudi Arabian who was beheaded in Qateef on 3 September 1992 for insulting Muhammad and Islam's holy book, the Koran. He was accused of calling Muhammad "a liar and swindler" who used "witchcraft" and got "help from devils," and of saying the Koran was fabricated by Muhammad and Islam is "a fabricated religion". He had been convicted of throwing stones at a police car in 1988 and was serving a five year sentence in Mabahith prison at the time. [1]
