I seriously began to worry. I mean, all I do is point out flaws in society.
and just to say something to Frank, religion has nothing to do with all the flaws in our society. it’s actually poor excution and misinterpreting the teachings that is pulling us down.
Islam has nothing to do with those who call themselves defenders of faith.

I would probably be arrested for my yahoo id, even though I am a beautiful woman.
The Holy Qur’an specifically tells us that we cannot tell others what to believe or how to worship Allah. I spent 16 years of my life in Saudi Arabia, and have always defended Saudis and their country even though they are backwards in their thinking about many things which have nothing to do with Islam.
But I am very disappointed that the new government is becomming more aggressive towards its citizens. Of course I am against all terrorism but to persecute people and call them terrorists just because they point out injustice and human rights violations is inexcusible.
The government must realize that you cannot continue to suppress your citizens because if you do, you will breed terrorism.
Men are totally to blame in Saudi Arabia for this stupidity. I would like to see all of my dear male friends in Saudi to stand up together and to demand human rights as you are entitled to from Allah. If you really believe in Allah then you must believe that he will help you with any problem in your life, including this ridiculous government. Be proud that you are Saudi, but also remember that Allah knows everything you do 24/7. Fe Aman Allah, Muneerah

[...] of these laws is the E-Crimes Act, which has been passed in March 2007. I am concerned because the act contained some articles that are very stretchy and non-specific, and they can be easily used to target freedom of expression [...]

How wonderful to find an open discussion of these matters hosted by a Saudi Citizen. Your english is also very excellent.

That’s Normal..
unfortunately, I am not surprised..
Everything here is left “undefined” so that they can do whatever they want to whoever they want.. just by putting their laws in the place they want.. and you’ll see how it fits…
And EA.. Yes.. in sometime of my life I used to think that “thinking” about anything religious is forbidden and “haram”!!
Everyone has been asking for detailed laws.. but they don’t want to!!!

How dissapointing!. We are being supposed to think with out thinking, and if ” the thinking process ” did its thing, again we should STOP our minds exercising their rights due to unexplainable circumstances

These human right organisations don’t really care of people.. They are just tools used for pressure on some Nations.
Most high rank people in these organisations are affective members in many greedy political and economic lobbies.
Back on the news above, I think that the issue was not about opinions and viewpoints of those people..It is about break of the laws of a country .It is the sovereign laws , the most venerable Right has been respected by the United Nations League..

We have a strange sense of justice in here, While the Quraan sentenced those who commit Zina or sex outside marriage with 100 flags maximum, providing that there is enough evidence, we find that 150 or 300 flags at times are not uncommon in sentences placed by our judges, so these judges maybe more “Just” than God!!!…But I have to say that paying attention to cultural norms is a must in our society and the risk of going against them is really unnecessary at most times, you can definitely find a way to express your opinions & live your style without offending others, nowadays, technology would enable people to communicate & meet without being physically at the same place, until someone is safe enough he/she should place personal safety above all. In Mecca in particular, unrelated couples meetings are not acceptable although based on false religious assumptions…
