Ah right right.
The synod is deeply split between liberals and conservatives. Remember the row over homosexuality a couple of years back? The international Anglicans are even more divided.
I think some of this mess is constructed from that divide in the church. |
I may have strong views on law and order but even I would not push for a prison sentence, he hasn't broken the law. 
Good point you made. 
And now a Question for the man in question, what would he make of this.

Saudis clamp down on valentines
Religious police in Saudi Arabia are banning the sale of Valentine's Day gifts including red roses, a local newspaper has reported.
The Saudi Gazette quoted shop workers as saying that officials had warned them to remove all red items including flowers and wrapping paper.
Black market prices for roses were already rising, the paper said. Saudi authorities consider Valentine's Day, along with a host of other annual celebrations, as un-Islamic.

I hope the PC thugs don't see this.  |
Well Valentine's day is un-Islamic... after all it's a reminder of the christian martyrs, can't have that in an Islamic country...
Sure the way it's celebrated today is purely commercial, I guess most people don't even know why the Valentine's day is named Valentine's day, but the origins are christian and I guess that's what ticks off them Saudis.
Maybe they could call it Suicide Bombers day in Saudi Arabia and worship their "martyrs".
