1. Backward Culture
Aharon ,   New Jersey   (11.13.10)
Any culture that promotes such backwards behavior is doomed to failure. Life imprisonment for a comment on Facebook? Orwell would be pleased to know that he was not that far off.
2. what are they going to all day?
deadmau$ ,   Israel   (11.13.10)

3. Saudi
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (11.13.10)
who cares? why is this news here? a backward country that thinks it's first world
4. Stop selling Muslims hardware and software
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.13.10)
It's clear that computers are offensive to Islam, so there should be an immediate ban on all modern communications devices to countries like Saudi and Iran and Afhanistan. Let them make do with copper wire or carrier pigeons. And, of course, it should be a ban on all modern technology in order to keep advanced weapons out of their hands. If they don't want to join the 21st century, they don't have to. Let's make sure we keep a wide military superiority and they don't turn weapons against us... like Iran will do when they get nuclear weapons.
5. Saudis Banning Facebook
Aaron ,   Chicago USA   (11.13.10)
Hopefully next they will ban them from Yahoo chat. Yahoo chat was once a vibrant chat and good way for Jews to meet other Jews. Now the Jewish rooms are filled with perverse, filthy, profane arabs.

8. The Double Standard LIves on;S.ARABIA heads UN womens rights
Jae ,   Lynn US   (11.13.10)
forum. Clealry this juggernaught of free speeach, media access, religious tolerance, gender tolerance, minorities' tolerance, democracy loving, non jihadist training, non 7th century barbarianistic government is well deserving of its AMNESTY INTERNATION praise for funding their missions on human rights. Those that believe in these organization: UN, Amnesty, Saudi Arabia are either half witted stooges or knowing hypocrites of epic proportions
9. Palestine Salma? no such country, never will be
Eyal ,   USA   (11.13.10)
10. Moving On
John DeLancy ,   Alaska, USA   (11.13.10)
This won't be an issue for very long. When the civilized world moves beyond oil to more sensible forms of power, the Arab oil money will dry up and they will return to the 7th century desert they prefer to the modern world. We on the other hand will enjoy their absence from modern discourse.
