(1) In the second part of the article (March 12), the columnist tells the story of the Book of Esther and concludes, "Since then, the Old Testament, the Jewish holy book, requires the Jews to glorify this holiday and show their joy. This joy can only be complete with the consumption of pastries mixed with human blood."

I have been following the blood libel threads for the last couple of days. Besides what newbie blackveil (2/2/02) has to say I found this crap to be standard fair along with the PEZ BS. I about lost it when they mentioned this took place in Dammam and not Riyadh. I did some lectures on materials and corrosion there. This was the Eastern Province of all places in a supposedly repectable university. I am afraid things are much worse in Kingdom then even I could have imagined. Maybe a policy of Exxonorabia in Eastern Saudi would be in the worlds best interests with the rest of Saudi going back to the possession of Jordan where it rightfully belongs.
