That is the truth. Politics and economics make strange bedfellows. We seem to over look a lot of "idiosyncrasies" with countries we have economic ties to.

I think the smell of crude might have altered the thought processes.

Logic never won any awards. I would suggest you put that away before you get waterboarded. Such words are unpatriotic.

Can't argue against either....and a different story/response from the Saudis no doubt should it be an American or British citizen.

Has nothing to do with oil. Saudi Arabia is the home of Wahbism. Currently the most radical, expansionist sect of Islam.

This is Sharia folks. Get used to it.

The Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, said to the danish newschannel, that it will be a kind of sharia light in Libya.

That's after the announcement from some politician in Libya.

Either it's me, that need more education on islam or this Danish Minister needs to get real.
