WARNING: Curmudgeon Mode: ON
Mass Media Podpeople and the wackadoos in the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade just can’t get over the horror of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Gee, you’d think that if they were serious they’d offer the poor, misunderstood sixth-century misogynist Muslims a place in their own homes, wouldn’t you?
Scratch that. Some of them would.
“Where you going Abdul?”
“Oh, just over to Ward Churchill’s place for another training session on how to kill all of you infidels.”
“Oh, OK. Better take an umbrella. Looks like rain.”
Bah. Torture by mistreatment of their “holy” book. Riiiiight. (Like, who supplied it to them? And who, pray tell, has been doing almost all of the “desecration” of this piece of toxic waste paper? Yeh, right: the “detainees” themselves.)
How about equal press for victims of
genuine religious persecution in Muslim countries, all you Mass Media Podpeople, huh? (h/t

Seven Christians released in Saudi Arabia on condition they renounce private religious practice – Jun 10, 2005
Seven Christians, arrested for their faith, were released on condition that they renounce religious practice, which they carried out privately in their homes.
That’s right: underground Christians in Saudi Arabia face arrest and imprisonment. NOT for conspiring or attempting or succeeding in blowing up people who don’t share their faith. Nope. That’s a Muslim practice. They were arrested for praying. Just not to the pagan moon god of Mohamed.
…According to AsiaNews sources close to Indian citizen Vijay Kumar, 45, of Tamil Nadu, one of the freed prisoners, their release took place after having signed a document in which they renounced the prayer sessions and religious practices they had been carrying in their homes.
In Saudi Arabia, only Islam is allowed public expression.
And apparently private expression of anything but Muslim beliefs is out, too.
Up to a few years ago, “a Christian was not even allowed to pray in private,” said Father Bernardo Cervellera, director of AsiaNews.
He added that now, because of international pressure, the Saudi royal family is allowing non-Muslims to practice their religion in the privacy of their home.
They say. but guess what?
“Unfortunately, however,” the priest explained, “the police and a considerable part of Saudi society do not accept this liberalization, so Christians are arrested.”
Yep. You got it. Our friends the Saudis do nothing to protect the religious freedom of others except to say nice words. Phonies. They’re perfectly happy to let their thugs keep persecuting Christians. After all, didn’t an interrogator at Gitmo accidentally nudge a Koran with his foot after a “detainee” had put it on the floor? ‘Nuff said. “Arrest those Chrstians!”
I still say Mecca and Medina would look nice, seen from space, as radioactive glass. Well, it’s a thought, anyway…
