You may want to reconsider your holiday to Saudi Arabia.

And if you still must go, bring extra padding for your bum.

They gave up on me Niki because I was enjoying it!:yep:

Very modern look on religion, blasphemy is still on the books :hmmm:

Sadly, Saudi-Arabia isn't the only county with blasphemy laws :shifty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law

Which always brings me to the question: is the faith of the people who support these laws so weak that they regard opposing views of their religion as something which could weaken their beliefs and thus needs to be punished?

This is just a guess, mind you, but I wouldn't be surprised if Saudi Arabia has no intention whatsoever of following through with the 500 lashes. My guess is they picked that sentence to look tough, but they're going to end up quietly releasing the guy when the western countries put the pressure on.

It's still barbaric that a blasphemy law and sentencing someone to lashes are on the books at all, but I don't think the Saudi rulers are dumb enough to piss everyone off by killing a guy who allegedly insulted someone who has been dead for a thousand years.

All I did was say to my wife, "That piece of halibut was good enough for Allah!":O:

I bet you thought you were eating a wet lettuce :DL

On a serious note...500 lashes would probably kill the guy. I hope they simply expel him from the country.

Kind of like the age old question: how many licks does it take to get to the center of tootsie roll tootsie pop.....
