Extending the tongue against King PlayStation

"An Israeli Arab man on a business trip to Jordan was arrested by the state's authorities for speaking ill of King Abdullah II.During his visit to Jordan, the businessman allegedly made public statements against the king. This was made known to the Jordanian authorities. At the behest of the Israeli's family, a hearing will be held Sunday in a Jordanian court during which it will be ruled whether he will be allowed to return to Israel." By the way, I read the arrest warrant in Arabic. He is being accused of "extending his tongue" against the King, which is a punishable offense in Jordan. I kid you not. (thanks Olivia)
