Writer Uthaya Sankar SB who spent a night in lock-up over a Facebook post that allegedly insulted Prophet Muhammad today said he will not write anything about Islam in the future.

"I always read about Islam, but I have learnt my lesson. I will keep away from Islam and not write anything about Islam in the future, that would be the best," he said.

He was speaking to Malaysiakini after he was released from police custody earlier today.
