    Post Saudi Arabia declares atheists terrorists under new law

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-new-laws.html

    Saudi Arabia has officially identified atheists as terrorists in sweeping new laws that threaten up to 20 years in prison for almost any criticism of the government or Islam.

    The regulations place secular citizens who commit thought crimes in the same category as violent terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda's Yemen branch and Saudi Hezbollah.

    Under the new decree by King Abdullah, Saudi Arabia will jail for up to 20 years anyone who fights in conflicts abroad - an apparent move to deter Saudis from joining rebels in Syria.

    But the law also applies to any Saudi citizen or a foreigner residing in the kingdom that 'calls for atheist thought in any form or calls into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based.'

    The laws have been denounced by human rights groups for making no distinction between religious expression and violent extremism.

    'Saudi authorities have never tolerated criticism of their policies, but these recent laws and regulations turn almost any critical expression or independent association into crimes of terrorism,' said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch.

    Not surprised at all. This is the insanity that religion so often fosters.

    Not saying this isn't brutal and terrible, but who wants to bet we're suddenly inundated with stories of how horrible Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries are?

    A couple of thoughts.

    #1 I don't care what Saudi Arabia "declares", they are a staunch theocratic nation and a perfect example of why the system of governance is such a colossal human failure.

    #2 I remember the discussion we were having some weeks ago about why American atheists only "attack" christianity.

    Well, this is a partial reason why.

    There is no need to "attack" radical Islam, they are a parody of themselves, they do the job for us, they alienate absolutely everyone.

    What do you say about a fringe sect of a debunked religion that kills people because they don't like depictions of their leader on cartoons?

    No I am serious. There is no difference between the two of them. Both of them are a bunch of religious fanatics who want to make life very difficult for people who are not just like them. The skin color and religion are irrelevant because the both have the same sinister goals.

    to force Sharia law? to imprison people for different beliefs? to imprison people for different sexual orientation?

    not sure where you see the similarities.

    So you are under the impression that the Tea Party is a religious group?...

    Yet you never bother to point out these parodies. You never make it a point to criticize them or their lunacy. You have started dozens of threads that are multiple paragraphs long to criticize all things Christian, yet even in the midst of a thread where Muslims have made a direct attack against atheist you only saying something kinda negative about Islam and you can only manage 4 sentences...that speaks for itself.
