#1 While the law is on hold, allow me to take this rare opportunity to say to all our Kuwaiti readers:
Your prophet Mohammed was a crazy jerk!

#2 The problem with any blasphemy law is that when you put its enforcement in the hands of members of any religion, the slightest disagreement can be considered a blasphemy. Saying you consider Jesus Christ the savior of humanity could be the eqivalent of slamming Mohammed. Justification? Simple: you're ignoring the Prophet of Islam's message, you're putting someone else ahead of him - someone Mohammed claimed wasn't as great as he was. So it doesn't matter how they write it, how many perspectives they consider, unless they scrap it, it's not going to help anything. I just hope the Left never tries to pull anything like this here.

#3 Yep--I agree--thank Allah Bush Sr saved this sovereign democracy from Saddam Hussein and re-installed the Al-Sabah democracy! That's what we were fighting for--not OIL!
