Banning it doesn't stop it!

Saudi seems to start questioning their faith.

Quote:JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — In this country known as the cradle of Islam, where religion gives legitimacy to the government and state-appointed clerics set rules for social behavior, a growing number of Saudis are privately declaring themselves atheists.
The evidence is anecdotal, but persistent.
“I know at least six atheists who confirmed that to me,” said Fahad AlFahad, 31, a marketing consultant and human rights activist. “Six or seven years ago, I wouldn’t even have heard one person say that. Not even a best friend would confess that to me.”
A Saudi journalist in Riyadh has observed the same trend.
“The idea of being irreligious and even atheist is spreading because of the contradiction between what Islamists say and what they do,” he said.

Great to see the enlightenment reach the middle east. The middle east is responsible of some of the world's greatest scientific discoveries, I'd be ecstatic if that culture opened themselves up to the world again.

They've got to start doing more than studying the fucking koran if they want that.

They would not have any electricity, if the west was gone.
These guys would still be killing each other with swords and bows.

Great humps, though.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I would feel sorry for the poor animal. They would be tied down, and a few would go to pound town on poor animal.
