Two women’s rights campaigners detained in Saudi Arabia have been transferred to a special tribunal for “terrorism”, activists said on Thursday after the women appeared in court.

Mauritania?

Mauritania issues first death sentence for apostasy since 1960

I was all set to blast them for being fucking barbarians but,

Mauritania upholds the strict Islamic law known as Sharia. But it has not meted out the harshest punishments provided under that law, such as executions and floggings, for nearly three decades.

The west African country last executed a prisoner in 1987, according to Amnesty International.

they still have a far better record than the US.

Irony to the extreme!

Egypt has banned a Hollywood film based on the Biblical book of Exodus because of what censors described as "historical inaccuracies".

They are trying to pick one turd out of a whole cesspool and call it "inaccurate!."

Ahah! Hahah! What the holy fuck! That is too precious.

Yeah, the whole film will be one giant historical inaccuracy.

Hmm....they've even managed to piss off the Swedes.

That takes some doing.

Egypt’s state sponsored Islamic authority on Tuesday denounced as a provocation the planned publication of another cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in the new issue of French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

“This action is an unjustified provocation against the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims,” the Dar al-Ifta said in a statement.

Just as Salman Rushdie said, the "But Brigade" is at it. "We respect freedom of expression BUT.........................................."

Someone should tell them they don't have to read it. I thought that was first day stuff.

Also, if you don't want people to make fun of your beliefs, don't have really stupid beliefs.

Beware Muslims armed with hair dryers:

Asked on a religious website if it was permissible for fathers to build snowmen for their children after a snowstorm in the country's north, Sheikh Mohammed Saleh al-Munajjid replied: "It is not permitted to make a statue out of snow, even by way of play and fun."

That's it I could never be part of a religion that bans snowmen, alcohol and pork.

What do they do for fun and flavour?
