Skip related content Related photos / videos Vanity plates are fashionable with wealthy and young Saudis Enlarge photo Saudi plates normally have three Arabic characters and three numbers, but the growing fashion is for auto owners also to display a version using the Latin alphabet and some buyers of personalised "vanity plates" deliberately choose Arabic letters which turn into words like "SEX", "ASS" and "NUT". The authorities in charge of issuing vanity plates have released a list of nine prohibited three-letter combinations, and ordered all branches to stop renewing plates that include them, according to Watan. On the list are combinations like "BUT," "BAD" and "BAR" -- the latter presumably a problem because it suggests alcohol, which is strictly prohibited in the conservative Islamic kingdom. But first on the list, for unexplained reasons, is the combination "USA". Some 90,000 plates with the prohibited letter combinations are being replaced, Watan said. Vanity plates are fashionable with wealthy and young Saudis, and auctions of special combinations have brought in as much a six million riyals (1.6 million dollars) for one plate, the newspaper reported. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090412/tod-saudis-ban-lewd-licence-tags-includi-7f81b96.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Maybe.... but Those that do show support I have a feeling speak with forked tounge. Down deep the religious and racial hatred they have of most westerners... ie all non-believers... wins out every time. The only way we will EVER get any more support from the ARAB world is to cut off ALL aid to Israel.. and let them wipe all the jews off the map.... Personally I dont think that is the correct path to follow... no matter how much several of our more vociferous Israel haters we have here.. wish it so.

Bolas 5 #9 April 16, 2009 Ironically the only thing that is keeping Israel from trying to do the same to the arabs is the aid we are giving them. Them jews is tough.

Glad its funny to you.. but you are again way off base.. but I expect nothing less. I will call it this way then.. MOST of the ARABS... are lying sacks of pig shit when it comes to support for the USA... I think their actions in removing any jews from their countires..... is very instructive of how they truely feel.... let alone the religious policies in those countires based on Sharia.... that effectively outlaws any other form of belief. And MOST of the muslim world is not far behind them.... irresepctive of what language they speak or what ethnic group they belong to..... people who practice ethnic cleansing are like that.

Most of the muslim world is composed of people who want to make a decent living, raise their families and be left alone. It's a lot like most of America. In both cases, it's the people who are in charge that are creating problems, when most of the actual people could care less, and often don't even know what their leaders are doing (much less approve).

I have actually been to the Kindom of Saud. They have an even more vociferous "if you are not with us... you are against us". They may make some noises of support.. but the ARABS there are NOT our friends.. ESPECIALLY those who are Salafists. People in this country need to LEARN who our enemy is... and quit believing the platitudes and outright lies being spoon fed to them. You can convert if you like.. but not me. They do NOT believe in co-existence with anyone.. or acceptance of any other form of worship or belief.. or non-beleif for all the good little athiests out there. THAT is where most people in the west just do not understand who their enemy is. We are more than willing to be open and accept others beliefs..and think others believe the same way... or should. The people there do not harbor any such thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So hard to keep track of who to hate.) It's not who to hate, it's who hates us. Extremists of any religion tend to hate anyone who's different than them. If you follow any of the religious novels written thousands of years ago and corrupted through the ages to the letter or even some of the "newer" ones, they are all indignant and intolerant. Religion of some form can probably be traced as the root cause of every war in the history of the world.
