1. As long as the oil is flowing, so will her tears!

These desert "sons of goats and snakes" are enjoying their "run" on this Planet thanks to Western hypocrisy and impotence: Arabs/Muslims should've been colonized & kept that way until the last drop of crude is squeezed out of the sand. THEN they could do as they please....WHAT?! Not PC of me??
2. Exctionalism
Fahd najjad Alharby ,   Madna , KSA   (05.19.14)
It is unfortuate that it has become something of a fad to ioopose the religious sensibilities ina conservative religious society , the whole objective. Is to seek fame and notoriety . The other key thing to,point out is it has been saudi strict policy not to treat his mainly for the wrongs he did .This right has been prcactosed for so long and it is well enjoyed by people who have done much more serious offenses . It is a mistake for the west or anybody to take the case for such people unless the objective is to harm these societies .
3. Islam is peace (TM)

4. #2 Fahd
Madeleine ,   Israel   (05.19.14)
So you oppose freedom of speech, freedom for women to be in charge of their own lives, and support these cruel punishments for so-called crimes? Saudia, Gulf States, Iran - oppressive totalitarian states.

Noam ,   Israel   (05.19.14)

7. So he insulted Islam...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.19.14)
You would think that if Allah felt insulted he would do something about it. Same with teddy bears and cartoonists. Certainly if the God of Israel felt insulted he wouldn't depend on his followers to take care of his problems. It sounds more like he insulted the Saudi religious police. It's funny how Islam needs religious police. No other religion needs religious police. If I were considering following Islam that would make me stop and think.

10. Oil, Sand, Ignorance.....
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (05.19.14)
If Islam is such a great religion, than why is criticism of Islam taken so radically? Could it be that it's not so perfect? Oops, I could go to jail for saying that!
11. 6 Noam

13. 'a growing tendency'
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (07.02.14)
This tendency to barbarism in Arabia has been growing for about 1,300 years! In the days of Mohamet there were several Jewish tribes in Arabia, but they were murdered.
