It may be the mainstream in Saudi amongst Saudi citizens, but it isn't the mainstream by any means.

It does not matter how old is Saudi "interpretation" what matter is that they have working system that many would like copy if not going even further with it.
The question is not what mr Tribesman think is true Islam or some guy next block thinks all though it may give hope of possibility that it can be reformed somehow toward civilised way.

The Amish fit your bill, are they mainstream too?

What matters is that over the past few decades the Saudis have been using their petro dollars to spread their fairly recent version of a reactionary fundamentalist flavour of a movement.

You miss that it is "reformed", unfortunately this particular flavour is reformed along ultra-conservative ideals.

Yeah yeah words......no...i did not miss anything.
Pleas tell me what is not reformed or interpreted Islam if it exists.
Not that it really matters because what is important is what people buy.
With the cultural roots around here it is much easer to sell fundamentalism than liberalism .
I mean that for average Muhammad is easer to compromise backward than forward.
That is one of the reason why things here(ME) are the way they are.

Indeed they did, oh sorry you were trying to make a point somewhere

You miss plenty, which is why you overstate yourself all the time.

That would be like saying 'A small group of American's are torturing POWs, the constitution must be the cause of it'.

Quran 5:45

And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

It's not a small group that utilizes Sharia law, most of the Arabian pensula, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan implement full/almost full Sharia. Most of North Africa has Sharia only for domestic issues but that is rapidly changing (see Egypt).

Gentlemen, can we just agree that we should treat our religious views like we treat our penis? We can do whatever we want with it in our homes, but we should never pull it out in public.
