Saudi jailed for discussing the Bible
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- A court sentenced a teacher to 40 months in
prison and 750 lashes for "mocking religion" after he discussed the
Bible and praised Jews, a Saudi newspaper reported yesterday.
Al-Madina newspaper said secondary-school teacher Mohammad al-Harbi,
will be flogged in public. He was charged with promoting a "dubious
ideology, mocking religion, saying the Jews were right, and discussing
the Gospel," the newspaper said.
Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, has a constitution based on the
Koran and the sayings of Muhammad.
Public practice of any other religion is banned.
A similar case was cited in the State Department's International
Religious Freedom Report for 2004. "During the period covered by this
report, a schoolteacher was tried for apostasy, and eventually
convicted in March of blasphemy; the person was given a prison sentence
of 3 years and 300 lashes."
A 2003 report by the U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom took the
country to task for "offensive and discriminatory language" disparaging
Jews, Christians and non-Wahhabi Muslims found in government-sponsored
school textbooks, in Friday sermons preached in prominent mosques, and
in state-controlled Saudi newspapers.
In Saudi Arabia, the public practice of any religion other than Islam
is illegal; only Muslims can be Saudi citizens; proselytizing for any
religion other than Sunni Islam is barred; and Mecca, Islam's holy
city, is forbidden to all non-Muslims.

These are the same Saudis who were allowed to board a private jet and fly
out of the US on 9-12-2001, even though all air traffic was grounded. These
are the same Saudis who bailed out GWBush when his third business failed
(just like the previous two failed). These are the same Saudis who are
heavily invested in Bush I and the Carlyle Group.

Facts and liberals don't mix:
The Hill
May 26, 2004
Clarke claims responsibility
Ex-counterterrorism czar approved post-9-11 flights for bin Laden
family
By Alexander Bolton
Richard Clarke, who served as President Bush's chief of
counterterrorism, has claimed sole responsibility for approving
flights of Saudi Arabian citizens, including members of Osama bin
Laden's family, from the United States immediately after the attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001.
In an interview with The Hill yesterday, Clarke said, "I take
responsibility for it. I don't think it was a mistake, and I'd do it
again."
Most of the 26 passengers aboard one flight, which departed from the
United States on Sept. 20, 2001, were relatives of Osama bin Laden,
whom intelligence officials blamed for the attacks almost immediately
after they happened.
Clarke's claim of responsibility is likely to put an end to a brewing
political controversy on Capitol Hill over who approved the
controversial flights of members of the Saudi elite at a time when the
administration was preparing to detain dozens of Muslim-Americans and
people with Muslim backgrounds as material witnesses to the attacks.
Several Democrats say that at a closed-door meeting May 6, they
pressed members of the commission investigating the attacks of Sept.
11 to find out who approved the flights.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who attended the meeting, said she
asked former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) and former Secretary of the
Navy John Lehman, a Republican, "Who authorized the flight and why?"
"They asked the question 'Who authorized the flight?' and I said I did
not know and I'd try to find out," Hamilton said. "I learned
subsequently from talking to the staff that we thought Clarke
authorized the flight and it did not go higher."
But Clarke yesterday appeared to put an end to the mystery.
"It didn't get any higher than me," he said. "On 9-11, 9-12 and 9-13,
many things didn't get any higher than me. I decided it in
consultation with the FBI."
Clarke said yesterday that the furor over the flights of Saudi
citizens is much ado about nothing.
"This is a tempest in a teapot," he said, adding that, since the
attacks, the FBI has never said that any of the passengers aboard the
flight shouldn't have been allowed to leave or were wanted for further
investigation.
He said that many members of the bin Laden family had been subjects of
FBI surveillance for years before the attacks and were well-known to
law-enforcement officials.
"It's very funny that people on the Hill are now trying to
second-guess the FBI investigation."
The Sept. 11 commission released a statement last month declaring that
six chartered flights that evacuated close to 140 Saudi citizens were
handled properly by the Bush administration.

Do you think this muslim regime was open and tolerant
before January 2001? Islamofascism has existed in Saudi
Arabia long before Bush was born, but you won't learn that
from high school dropout Michael Moore.
