Musicmystery -> Saudis to Kill TV Advice Show Host for Sorcery (12/21/2009 4:33:16 PM)
The Lebanese host of a popular TV show who gave callers advice and sometimes predicted the future was sentenced to death by a court in Saudi Arabia in November for sorcery. Human rights groups say these cases are on the rise in the strictly religious country and birthplace of Islam. Sorcery Charges On The Rise In Saudi Arabia

Judith Miller NYT Amy Goodman boarder in recent years journalists killed.

But but but... Islam is a religion of peace.

And enlightenment. Don't forget enlightenment.

To put things in perspective--belief in jinns is common there. Or to look at it another way--it's what living in a theocracy is like.

Praise Allah that my visa was not approved by said Saudis.... go ahead, say it... Hallelujah!

There are and have been far worse atheist states. quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery To put things in perspective--belief in jinns is common there. Or to look at it another way--it's what living in a theocracy is like.

Point?

Sanity -> RE: Saudis to Kill TV Advice Show Host for Sorcery (12/21/2009 8:06:16 PM)
The point is that there are and have been far worse atheist states.

Musicmystery -> RE: Saudis to Kill TV Advice Show Host for Sorcery (12/21/2009 8:30:29 PM)
And it's still what living in a theocracy is like. Check the commodities market and see what tea is going for in China.

I'm guessing the discussion's been derailed in the direction of claiming that this isn't that big of a deal because atheist governments like China and the Soviet Union were and are much worse. If that's true, it's an excellent point. Obviously there's no problem here after all. Someone else did it first.

FR That is just awful. While he was on a religious pilgrimage that can only be completed by travelling to Saudi Arabia... He should have used a better travel agent I guess.

Short answer...oil,and to expand on that the Royal House of Saud has as many reasons to fear the fundalmentalists as we do...the big differnece is they seek to reach an accomadition with the extremists thru financial support.Something very akin to old fashion extortion...they support the fundies so their house doesn't "catch fire"

quote: ORIGINAL: submittous Tell me again why the Saudis are our ally?... Oil. Not just because we use a hell of a lot of it, but because others do as well. Maybe we should all work towards the day when the stuff runs out in that part of the world, and the rules take a dramatic turn.

Anti-abortion terrorists and faith-based terrorism in Ireland would say otherwise. And... “The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr”- Mohammed. I'm not a proponent of ANY religion, but the blood isn't really dry on either set of hands.
