He obviously deserves it because he provoked them by insulting Islamic government.

Did we ever believe this would happen in our lifetime, just 15 years ago.

I guess the Romans were correct after all, Put up a WALL around the city to keep the Barbarians out.

And they say this is not Islam, yet, it is an Islamic country, using islam as law.
Brutality, murder, rape, terrorism, it is ALL islam.

Actually they have never NOT had floggings/beheadings/amputations in Saudi Arabia.
To: Buckeye McFrog
True, but it was not toward America, the media, and cartoonists.

I am sure glad we are friends with the Saudis and they are our allies. Otherwise this guy would be in serious trouble!
I hate these people. I hate everything about them, their crackpot pedophile founder and everything they stand for.

I've never been to Saudi but I *have* been to the UAE...which is right next door.The UAE is considered to be,by Arabian Peninsula standards,quite "liberal".But it *is* possible to be beheaded there...attempting to convert a moslem to another religion is one way you can lose your head there.
Needless to say,I never tried it.

THis is a good reason to exterminate Islam, starting with nuking Saudi Arabian cities, villages and every last known dwelling palce of every Saudi.
Then give the rest of the Muslim world 72 hours to level all mosques, madrassas, and kill all Muslim religious realers and educators, and burn every Koran.
If a Koran is found in a community, that community must be bombed until the rubble bounces. Fuel-air bombs are our friend.
They claim they are at war with us.
The military has a phrase to describe such threats: “Honor the threat”.
Islam wants a “War with the West” until every unbeliever is converted, enslaved, or killed”. It is time to give the goat-f*cking, boy-raping savages what they want.
Properly done, such a war will be a video game for us and extinction for Islam/Muslims.
