Q: What do the authorities provide for a young woman who gets abducted and gang raped in Saudi Arabia?
A: 200 lashes.

How’s that for justice? American culture is pretty backwards but the way some folks interpret Islamic Law makes me proud to have OJ Simpson as part of our legal system’s legacy.

Aside from Israel, Saudi Arabia is like the US’s BFF in the Middle East. Pretty sweet, huh?

Osama Bin laden is calling for peace….of sorts. As Al-Queda in Iraq has pissed off a bunch of various Sunni groups by indiscriminately killing civilians and holding a hard-line interpretation of the Koran, Bin Laden is aiming at uniting the assorted militant Muslim factions under one banner: his. Bin Laden says it’s not about “tribe, nationalism or an organization,” it’s about killing the infidels (you and me), and that’s the real spirit of Jihad. “May this be the year of unity.” How touching.
