Saudi Arabia: three men sentenced to ten years and 2,000 lashes for 'dancing naked' in public. It appears that they were just dancing or that they were really just gay.
Question: can anyone survive 2,000 lashes?
Now this one is hard to believe but it would make great material for a comic novel (in fact, the whole of Saudia Arabia would be good material)...
A Saudi cleric says women can only work side by side with men if they first become their "mothers" (i.e. breast feed them). Obviously from the liberal branch of wahabism, you note.

You often hear people say things are really complex. The Arab-Israeli conflict. There's one for you. Except it isn't. Once you start to see other people as human beings, that is, and once you recognize there wasn't a 'wilderness' but, you know, human beings living a life. Shocking, but true.
Of course, but in quite another way, Europeans are masters of this obfuscation, trying to read some metaphysical mumb-jumbo into the plainest of statements. An umbrella? What is an umbrella, asks the philosopher, just before he dies of pneumonia.

On a more upbeat note: someone writes: Ozil makes everyone play better; he raises the game of all around him. Now, that's a rare kind of genius because lots of people are really intent on bringing you down to their level.~~~
