The mosque is close to Mount Arafat, ...

Freudian slip by AP? Shouldn't that be "Mount Ararat?"

[Cicero]

No, evidently not. Mount Ararat is in the north and is thought to be the place where the Ark went aground. Mount Arafat is the mountain of judgment, where all the Muslim dead will gather on their Last Day. There was another article posted earlier about it.

No, it's Arafat.

And, Muslims are only opposed to terrorism if Muslims are killed.

[John Beresford Tipton]

Freudian slip by AP? Shouldn't that be "Mount Ararat?"

No, it is correct. Mount Ararat is a different mountain, in Turkey where Noah and the ark are said to have rested.

The part about pilgrims going to mount Arafat for the climax just made me shudder....

Here's the real Sheik Sheik:

Saudi Arabia's state-supported clerical leadership has been silencing writers who called for the liberalization of the kingdom. And they have been acting on the authority of Crown Prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz, opposition sources said.

The move has been led by Sheik Abdul Aziz Al Sheik, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia and the leading state cleric.

In the latest development, the Saudi mufti has imposed a ban on Mansour Al Nogaidan, a columnist for the Al Riyad daily.

Opposition sources reported that the ban on Al Nogaidan was apparently connected to his Sept. 11 article that asserted the Saudi official clergy supported Al Qaida and called for a lower profile by the clergy in public life. Al Nogaidan also called for a reassessment of Wahhabi teachings, and what he termed the "culture of death" taught in Saudi schools and mosques.
