"An Indonesian man was sentenced to 30 months in prison Wednesday for posting atheist and anti-Islamic messages to Facebook.\nAlexander Aan, 30, was reportedly an active member of an atheist Facebook group where he shared irreverent cartoons of prophet Mohammed \u2014 like one where he has sex with his servant \u2014 and posted atheistic sentiments like \u201CGod doesn\u2019t exist.\u201D\n\u201CWhat he did has caused anxiety to the community and tarnished Islam,\u201D Aan\u2019s presiding judge said.\nIndonesia is home to more than 200 million Muslims, more than anywhere else in the world.\nAan gained local notoriety about his posts in January, when an angry mob came to his office and beat him. He was arrested two days later and charged with \u201Cdisseminating information aimed at inciting religious hatred or hostility.\u201D\nAmnesty International has condemned Aan\u2019s arrest, citing United Nations resolutions that call for universal freedom of religion, including the choice of atheism. Indonesia is the only nation to have fully withdrawn from the UN, however.\nAn online petition that calls for Aan\u2019s release is circulating online. It calls out Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and quotes him in a 2009 speech where he called for Indonesia to \u201Cproject the virtue of moderate Islam throughout the Muslim world.\u201D\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, asbe"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
