Quote

The interior ministry regulations include other sweeping provisions that authorities can use to criminalize virtually any expression or association critical of the government and its understanding of Islam. These “terrorism” provisions include the following:

Article 1: “Calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based.”

Article 4: “Anyone who aids [“terrorist”] organizations, groups, currents [of thought], associations, or parties, or demonstrates affiliation with them, or sympathy with them, or promotes them, or holds meetings under their umbrella, either inside or outside the kingdom; this includes participation in audio, written, or visual media; social media in its audio, written, or visual forms; internet websites; or circulating their contents in any form, or using slogans of these groups and currents [of thought], or any symbols which point to support or sympathy with them.”

One less country I'll ever need to visit.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

You're a suspected terrorist in the US if you have 7 days of food in your house (or know someone that does).

You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

that can't be true if a government website recommends that you have at least a week of food for emergency preparedness. but i could be wrong, i can't seem to find the website right now.

It could be that it's one of many points to include in evaluating. Alone, it means nothing.

Kind of like how "suicide bombers wear bulky jackets" comes from some watch list or another. But wearing a bulky jacket doesn't make one a terrorist.

But someone who's mumbling, staring, and otherwise looking terroristic, but wearing spandex bike shorts, is less likely to be a suicide bomber

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

You're a little late with this.

Yes, in Saudia Arabia an atheist considered a terrorist. BTW, in KSA pretty much anything other than a member of Islam is considered an atheist.

This is why church and state need to be separate and why in the Declaration of Independence we told King George to screw himself. Because his "authority" to be king and rule came from his "god" (the Church of England) as opposed to "nature's god" (more of an ambiguous and most certainly not particularly "Christian," god).
