Late post but I had to bring the above to your attention because this is what happens when a government is run according to legalistic or fundamnetalist religious "ideals". I don't care if its Wahabism, Sharia, Mormon or Christian. If the Dominionists and others from our own religious right had their wish there would be flogging for blasphemy, insulting their religion would be a crime. I have no doubt that there would be dozens of religious crimes punishable by death.
We must be careful to keep religion at arm's length from our government. Saudi Arabia, of course, has been the playmate of the Bush dynasty for years. It's an oily and corrupt relationship that has damaged our country, not least by supplying most of the terrorists who attacked us in 2001.
Hey George, give the prince a nice wet one for all the dead and for the ruins in Iraq!
