- thotpoizn, on 02/13/2008, -0/+19Well, it's clear there is only one sensible course of action to take: the US and the UK must follow suit with red gift and flower bans of our own. Wouldn't want to offend any sensibilities, now would we? Oh and hey, any news on when the new "capital punishment for eating pork" law goes into effect here in the US? I wanted to be sure to clear out my freezer beforehand...

- G3eeze, on 02/13/2008, -0/+23I know my friend Iconoclast sees the rediculousness of the Saudi Actions. Do any of you out there realize how fearful the Saudi menare of their women. My God, they had to have laws drawn up that allow them to punish women if you see their faces, if they walk with a man other than their husband, if they attempt to take part in the upbringing of their children, they will kill a family female member if she does anything to bring "shame" upon the family (now theres a broad and relative term". For the most part, Islamists are cowards that hide behind Sharia law (such as it is) to justify thier cruelty to women and children. What a wonderful religion! NOT!!!
- DWalla, on 02/13/2008, -0/+12yeah.... I figure men that exercise laws like that, must be the most insecure guys on the planet.

/sarc - SuperVepr308, on 02/13/2008, -0/+14It is quite amazing. The "progressives" here fall all over themselves for religious tolerance (as long as the religion isn't Christian or Jewish). The very religion they fawn over would make sure they were the very first on the firing line if it ever took over. How well do you think NOW or a media figure such as Stewart would fare under an Islamic regime? I'll bet the true meaning of "fascism" would get real clear real quick.
