Here is someone who is bringing real reform, doing everything the Left consider near and dear, or at least moving in that direction. Nobody before him even tried. But the media loathes him because they see him as an ‘ally’ of Trump.

But ... but ... but, what about minors who flog?

The King is clearly not omniscient like "The Experts" we have in here in America.

I know ... let's ship him a boatload of our "experts" so that he will know what to think and how to act.

This is changing their culture. I thought all cultures were equal?

Is there still a death penalty for any non-Muslim who’d dare enter their segregated cities of Mecca and Medina?

So the way I read the article headline a person will no longer get the death penalty for flogging. Flogging as in using a whip or flogging as in British slag for selling? Or both?

The Oxford comma is our friend.

I’m not necessarily pro-Saudi. I am pro-Israel.

But I will give small credit where it’s due. King Salman is doing his best to reform Saudi Arabia - culturally and economically. I think he totally gets it that his nation can’t be an ass-backwards one sitting on an ocean of oil.

The steps is taking are definitely baby ones. It’s incredibly hard to undo decades of Wahhabi idiocy. There’s still opposition to him among the royal family and the multitude of princes and other royal hangers-on.

I guess the populace still has to watch out for homosexuals raining down from tall buildings.

Islam. Www.prophetofdoom.net

I strived to learn about islam. after 911 seeing as these savages flew our planes into WTC

I was shocked when I learned the world history from 623 on

Craig Winn’s book is excellent and very comprehensive

If you want to find someone who’s done all the homework. This is it

You need to understand the enemy to defeat him

Summary.

Prophet of Doom is the best-documented, most comprehensive, presentation of Islam’s five oldest and most reliable scriptural sources. Ishaq’s Biography of Muhammad, Tabari’s History of Islam, and Bukhari’s and Muslim’s Hadith, were used to reorder the Qur’an chronologically and to set its surahs into the context of Muhammad’s life. When this evidence is evaluated systematically, the only rational conclusion is that Islam’s lone prophet was a ruthless terrorist, a mass-murderer, a thief, slave trader, rapist and pedophile.
