But they are our staunch allies so I guess when they behead somebody it's not the same as when ISIS does it. Strange bedfellows indeed.

[BartSimpson]

They are not our staunch allies. We are their devoted dhimmis.

[andyt]

I wish somebody would explain to me why. The US doesn't need that oil anymore. All I can think of is the fear that whatever replaced the house of Saud would be even worse, and they'd have Mecca to confer legitimacy. But maybe it's better to lance that boil than keep feeding it.

Crucifixion ?

Hey, stop stealing our bit. Bastards.


Just remember, the constitution of Saudi IS the Koran.



Religion of peace and all that. Yeah, sure.

[andyt]

I know. And we persecute gays and stone adulterers because it says that in the bible too.

[Zipperfish]

Before you pick on the Muslims for stoning people remember the words of the Jewish Bob Dylan: "Everybody must get stoned."

I had no idea that Canadians persecute and stone gays.

[andyt]

Exactly. Just because it says so in the Koran, doesn't mean all Muslims follow that, same with christians. constantly bringing up the Koran is bullshit.

Nahh, we don't stone gays.

We make stones gay. It's a good business.



Anyway, I guess the Saudis are screwing with the price of oil, driving it down
to make sure the Russians don't turn off the gas this winter.

If Saud ever falls, there will be a civil war that will make Libya and Syria
look like a kindergarten.

What the world needs is more nominally or 'bad' religious people....you know those who attend religious services for funerals, weddings or the occasional christening only but live sinful secular lives the rest of the time, where they think Leviticus can be treated with proper brushing, Scope or Listerine.

Could be...

I used to work with this Sikh guy. Nice guy... Drank, swore, smoked, joked, laughed - friendly as Hell, but every once in a while he would find religion. He would come to work clean, tidy, in a well laundered and meticulously folded turban. Also he became an asshole boiled down to the essence of asshole, with this completely unjustified notion of superiority. 'Where did that come from', I wondered, 'and how can he not know how silly it looks?'

And yeah, it works with Christians too.

But then there's Muslims. And it is such an intensified illustration of how to make an asshole out of an ordinary Joe with religion that it is kind of unique.

If you are a "good" Muslim you are following the abrogated ravings of the Sand Pirate of Medina. You are being asked to follow his example, of institutionalized deceit, misogyny, theft, torture, extortion, terror, rape, enslavement, and pedophilia.

Yeah I know..."b-b-but, B-B-B-B-B-Boooooosh."

Apparently Governor Rick Perry of Texas (possible next President of the United States) is visiting Europe.

$1:

Speaking on the dangers of radical Islam, Governor Perry chose not to follow the form of U.S. President Barack Obama or UK Prime Minister David Cameron by insisting that Islamic terrorists are “not Muslim”, a convenient dodge recently described as a “reassuring assertion, and one that almost everyone, including the vast majority of Muslims, would desperately like to believe”, but ultimately “wishful thinking”.

Instead, Perry asserted the moralistic strength of Western culture, and that of ISIS a “falsehood”: “Their twisted version of Islam amounts to a creed of human cruelty – pure sadism, and nothing more”.

He pulled no punches when describing in graphic detail the ISIS advance: “The enslavement, the beheadings, the crucifixions, the mass executions, the forced conversions. And all of this, of course, by men who tell themselves they are doing God’s work on this earth”. Criticising those who assert “quite plainly, that the Middle East is ultimately no concern of ours” Perry opposed moral relativism in the face of the barbarity of the Islamic State: “we have every right to judge, and every reason to act”.

I don't think I'd agree with him on his choice of the word "twisted" though. I think I would have said "orthodox".
