| 2008-11-27 |
| The Saudi Ministry of Education recently ordered the removal of two books by a leading intellectul of the Muslim Brotherhood from school libraries because of the extremist ideas they contained, a Saudi newspaper reported on Wednesday. "The books, 'The Lies About Sayyid Qutb' and 'The Jihad in the Way of God,' are banned from school libraries because of their extremist and confusing ideas that may misinform students," Abdul Rahman al-Fasil, director general of Boys Education Administration in the Saudi Asir province, was quoted as saying in the Saudi Arab News. The ban on the two books was aimed at protecting the young students from deviant ideology, said Ibrahim al-Hamdan, director general of the Girls Education Administration in Abha. |

| #1 Well, it's a start. Who knows, it could catch on! They just progressed to the 7th century! Hurray Saudi Arabia! To get banned there, it must have been a real doozie! |
