Fascinating mix of truth and pathology.

My favorite line explaining the infuriating rules of Saudi Arabia:

“It’s a mad place and the rules there have got nothing to do with Islam.”

Wow! Really. Nothing to do with Islam? Must be a basic pre occupation with law and order.

Its amazing to think what kind of brainwashing must be going on in Britain to bring a writer to write such an absurd sentence.

And with all these tales of horror known there are still Western women who marry Saudis and disappear in that country never to be seen by their family again or never allowed to leave the country together with their children.

“It’s a mad place and the rules there have got nothing to do with Islam.” I agree that that line was a PC crap.

The madrassahs in Pakistan, which gave rise to the radicalism of the Taliban, have been funded by Saudi money since the Afghan jihad.

she would know first hand what she's talking about, her ex husband Imran Khan is waiting in the wings to turn Pakistan into another islamist state.

(Imran is currently under house-arrest.)

ISLAMIC APARTHEID

In fact, the rules reflect the simplest, puest form of Islam. Just ask the Saudis.

Sure, there's no homosexuality in Islam.

Britain is the new wannabe Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis seem to be able to fund just about every radical group in the ME as well as give moolah (or mullahs?) to mosque-building projects in the West. Where do they get all the cash? The oil. If only the oil reserves weren’t right smack under Saudi Arabia (and the ME in general), they would not be the world’s #1 producer, and they would just be desert-dwelling sand rats. As opposed to filthy rich desert-dwelling sand rats.

Saudi Britannia, capital Londonistan

It’s on its way there...

The leftist are up in arms about human rights and women’s rights and gay rights and non-muslim religious rights of oppressed people ONLY when those people reside in countries allied to the west.

When the islamofascist regime happens to be anti-West and especially when it is virulently anti-US, as in the case of the mullahs ruling Iran, it all must be a big hype and a lie. The regime isn’t as horrible as it is portrait; it is a "democracy" after all -- albeit an Islamic one -- and no one should buy all the hype by the chalabi lookalike "out of touch" exiles with devious agendas, who don't really know how much the mullahs and their henchmen are actually beloved by the people they're oppressing.

I have a Pakistani friend who is desperately begging me to get her out of Saudi Arabia. She hates Saudi Arabia, says its like a prison. Her parents want to get her married off to a Saudi guy. And she wants to come to US. Problem is she cant get herself a passport without the consent of her parents (or husband) even though she is an adult.

I didn't stop reading, but it was the most bizarre reality-denial statement I have read in recent memory.

Although I can see how it is possible to rationalize it both ways:

Absolutely in track with traditional islam for the common, poor sandmaggots.
No rules, islam or otherwise, for the rich sandmaggots.
