these are tolerated by our society? first i knew about it...

Thought these things were illegal

And thats the difference

in Saudi arabia, what I have talked about (womens rights and use of sharia law)is LEGAL at worst and institionilised at best

I ahve no doubt that the reformers are trying their best ...but the religious police still exist (what other country has such an oppresive instition?). Having said that i did read that they are often struggling to enforce their aims...so i suppose thats progress of sorts

Wahhabism is as i understand it the official state religion of Saudi arabia. its beliefs have been well covered and are well known. the spread of its creed is damaging to mainstream islam and dangerous to the rest of us
