#1 Actually, if I'm reading the story right, it looks as if he objected to PEACE w. Israel.

Allahu Akbar, for a moment there, I thought Islam had become some sort of peaceful religion...

#2 The cleric, a former professor at Imam Mohammad bin Saud University in Riyadh...

#3 "He was also held for objecting to a religious edict allowing peace with Israel."

#6 MIRA, the London-based Saudi opposition group mentioned in the article, is an al-Qaeda front who is mad that the Saudi government isn't radical enough for their sakes. This guy's release could be seen as a sign that the government is attempting to make concessions to the extremists, which could indicate just how badly things are going behind the scenes for those members of House Saud who desire to retain a US military presence in the Kingdom and those who want to go all-out in the jihad against the kufr.
