Fools, Infidels and Lowlife Journalists

Hey, I resemble that remark! Saudi cleric Muhammed al-Munajid decries all. via Freedoms Zone: 

“The problem is that they want to open a debate on whether Islam is true or not, and on whether Judaism and Christianity are false or not. In other words, they want to open up everything for debate… It begins with freedom of thought, it continues with freedom of speech, and it ends up with freedom of belief.”

Yeah, pretty much. No end of trouble lies down that road.

Vid with hurtful remarks about fools, heretics, journalists and other ignorant lowlifes here.

Hang on, who says the Saudis aren’t interested in the free spread of ideas? OK, maybe more like the paid propagation of doctrine and propaganda. Semantics.

   Well, al-Munajid is right about one thing. Freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of belief are all very dangerous to his brand of Islam. And rightly so.
