Ummm, Flaglady, earlier today you were demonstrating your deep insight into the issue with the following quote..."Try having a bible in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries and see how far it gets you. Or try to have a religious service. Foreign women, try driving a car by yourself. See how far inside a mosque you'd get." You can have a Bible in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries (I'm not sure what relevance Saudi Arabia has to the UAE port deal). I always have mine when I go there. There are several Christian Churches in the UAE. Women are only prohibited from driving in Saudi Arabia (again, I'm not sure why this is relevant to the UAE port deal), and as a Christian, I have toured several mosques in the Middle East. Does the fact that your perceptions of reality of life in the Middle East not actually match reality in the Middle East make you a "stupid idiot"? Nope. But it helps explain how people like you were duped into believing the crap propagated by our lying media about the DPW deal.

You think Saudi Arabia is such a nice place to be with your bible, next time you go, stay there. Try organizing a Christian religious service. You sit there with your anecdotal experiences (either that or you are really a Muslim), and extrapolate out that the Saudi regime is not a repressive one. What bull, and your idea of reality and mine are miles apart, about the distance between here and Saudi Arabia. Enjoy your next trip there. Consider a one-way ticket, please.
