A Saudi Blog
I am always on the lookout for blogs from other countries, especially the blogs of people who want to be free. Today I found a sadly humorous blog by a Saudi who lives in Britian talking about his society.
I especially like this remark from his posting on Saudi schoolbooks.
Examples? Well, there's suicide. From Islamic Jurisprudence, Grade 10, (2001)
The abundance of suicide cases in Western societies is surely because of their great distance from the true divine source. In the light of the exaggeration on the part of some Muslims in praising those societies, while they pay no attention to their bad side, we thought it advisable to discuss the suicide issue, because of its danger, being part of the premeditated murder category.
We don't have a suicide problem in Saudi Arabia. Any potential suicides, we export them to Iraq. Or put them on a plane in the USA.
The blog is The Religious Policeman and I hope to be linking to it soon.

Hypocracy appears in many forms, doesn't it.
Hazeen jidan huwa kathib, wa la yatakalam al arabiya. (Too bad he's a fake and doesn't speak arabic.)
