Saudi poet flees for his life

This is a story that you won't read about.  It is capturing imagination of many on Twitter and Facebook and somebody should alert Facebook that a group was set up "to exact punishment" on the guy.  He basically tweeted a few lines about Muhammad on Twitter (I read them as affirmation of the strict Wahhabi doctrine that opposes any words or form of worship that seem to commit the only unforgivable sin in Islam, namely polytheism).  But many in Saudi Arabia were offended and took his remarks to be disrespectful of Muhammad.  Saudi government acted promptly and this journalist in Al-Bilad was banned by the Saudi Minister of Culture from writing anywhere in the country, and the Saudi King issued an arrest warrant for him.  If this happened in Iran, it would be a front page story everywhere.
