#1 Wow, what a modern, progressive, healthy society they have themselves over there. Those sandy assholes are not our friends, they still live in the 9th century, but they want our money. We have got to get out from under the heel of their boot and find some real alternatives to oil.

#2 Just five days ago the Magic Kingdom was denying .... "allegations that the kingdom has arrested and tortured Christians, saying such actions run counter to Islamic tolerance" link.
...."the allegations 'don't go with the principals and values of the kingdom and above all our tolerant Islamic belief which guarantees the rights of Muslims and residents of different religions and ethnicities alike'."
Seems that someone forgot to properly inform the Muttawa of this NEW policy. SA policy is residents of different religions are guaranteed rights but nothing in that statement implies EQUAL rights. In fact the rule is: Members of other religions in the conservative Islamic kingdom generally are allowed to practice their beliefs in private but are prohibited from seeking converts or holding organized religious gatherings. Now there's a story for NEWSWEAK if they wish to follow up on it.

#3 Big Jim, are you familiar with the fact that most of SA oil production is centered in a narrow (15 km) strip on the eastern coast? Odder still the area is mainly inhabited by Shia! Weird no? There's a fine post about this in the archives.... anybody have it handy?

#4 But..but..but...

Were any "Korans" looked at with a sour face during this? That is what's important.

Who cares if a few mud-people get tortured, raped, and executed? We want to know of any muslims could have been offended while burning and pissing on Bibles and Torahs....
