By the way, a few words on the above thread. It has now become heavily censored. I notice that Arab sympathizers are given free reign there, but most Israeli supporters have been shouted down. I criticized the human rights record of Saudi Arabia there, and was called "violent" and "extremist," told to join the Ku Klux Klan and that I was guilty of "inciting people against Saudi Arabia and Islam." In my view, SA has done this very well all on its own. Those who practice other religions than extreme, rigid forms of Islam are often beheaded for "apostasy" in that country. Cutting off of limbs (generally left hand + right foot or the reverse are in vogue) and gouging out of eyes are also popular sentences meted out by Saudi judicial authorities for non-violent crimes that here would result in probation and no more. (For further information refer to Amnesty International's website where specific instances of these acts are catalogued in graphic detail.)

Today a poster stated that Jesus was surely a homosexual. The moderator of that thread told one who indignantly responded to this offensive remark to not discuss this publicly. I wonder about threads that are "moderated" and some of the agendas we have operating here now. It would be interesting if only people here were required to disclose who they are. Alas, that is unlikely.
