With friends like these. Sheesh.

I knew an Egyptian with an American wife & kids who took a 2-year contract with the Saudi government. He figured that being a Moslem and a native Arabic speaker he'd get along fine with them. He was wrong. Came home after one year.
So, the Saudis are the ones who aren't dangerous whackjobs, right?
We've been friendly with the Saudi royal family for a long time. But much of the culture, including the entire education system, has been taken over by the whack-jobbiest of the religious whack jobs.
Come on, Ellie - Islam is a religion of peace.
Say it with me.
They are all religions of peace, until people start with thinking they should regulate the holiness of weveryone else. Now stop mingling or I shall report you!

Islam has never been particularly peaceful. The sweet, gracious prophet Muhammad once ordered a slave girl decapitated for making up a bawdy limerick about him.

Hey, now, to be fair, they've arrested and are going to whip the men who came to see her as well.
