the wahibis are to be seen as moderate?? I'm pishing myself with laughter into my wine and I bet Naomi will be too.

Wondering whether this is to do with receding oil reserves, tourism and that guy who was jailed for touching another guys bum

Well, it would appear they have started acting on it already with allowing women to drive.

The word 'moderate' needs to be considered in context. In the context of the Middle East then they could be considered to be starting to be moderate. There is no way the Middle East can move from the 15C to 21C in a short period of time, it needs slow adjustment or things will go horribly wrong.

The proof of the pudding ....

Also what is his idea of a 'moderate' islam ?

[DTCwordfan]

probably a dead Christian and certainly a dead Jew, Bazile.....

He'll probably come out of the closet, saying he needs to go to the betty ford clinic after drink/drug and rock music addictions and then go and live in Texas.

It's a lost in translation moment, murder rate sounds more likely.

It's a step in the right direction, at least. I hope life improves for the woman and minorities in Saudi and continues to improve.

That's the one where they let you kneel on a comfy cushion while they chop your head off.
