[Cheerful Charlie]

Islam is a peaceful religion and there is no compulsion in religion and Islam.
How I hate these bastards.

A Palestinian poet and leading member of Saudi Arabia’s nascent contemporary art scene has been sentenced to death for renouncing Islam.

A Saudi court on Tuesday ordered the execution of Ashraf Fayadh, who has curated art shows in Jeddah and at the Venice Biennale. The poet, who said he did not have legal representation, was given 30 days to appeal against the ruling.

Fayadh, 35, a key member of the British-Saudi art organisation Edge of Arabia, was originally sentenced to four years in prison and 800 lashes by the general court in Abha, a city in the south-west of the ultraconservative kingdom, in May 2014.

The Saudi Arabians aren't real Islam, though. That's reserved for a guy who lives in downtown Philly and always helps his landlady with her garbage volunteers at the local homeless shelter.

But Saudi Arabia are our allies. They are good guys aren't they

They and 'Israel'. How can you lose?

I read that Saudi Arabia beheads more people than Isis. Is this factual?

Sounds like the kind of thing which would be unsurprising if it turns out to be true. The country of Saudi Arabia is pretty much the end state of what ISIS is going for.

Well The Saudi government and the United States government can be considered allies. The people of those two nations most likely do not care about the other simply because they are both preoccupied with work and taxes. Or in the case of an Arab living in Saudi Arabia not pissing off their crazy, theocratic state.

Except that Saudi Arabia isn't funding terrorist actions around the world, right? Right? Ahem...is it warm in here or is it just me?
