Given modern distractions, the need to understand Islam better has never been more urgent. Through this forum we can share ideas and hopefully promote the true spirit of Islam which calls for peace, justice, tolerance, inclusiveness and diversity.

I read this story and we may forget how lucky we are not in Saudi Arabia.

many of us would have suffered the same fate for blogging on this site

Admin this applies to you especially! This poor guy did what you have done by giving people a website

You can't compare this site with his, he was an apostate like Ali sina which are not interested to bring reform but to abuse , insult and mock Islam and the prophet pbuh . You should first see his writings where he advocates proselytizing to other religion in saudi arabia which is forbidden in sharia.This forum as yet does not indulge in such behaviour.

Nevertheless Saudi is not a model or any good either , even its days are numbered will last Inshallah till the death of ABdullah and then there is going to be a big succession dispute.

I don't think majority of people intentionally mock or insult..it is the fanatics who perceive robust open discussions with critical analysis s as insulting or threat to status quo and labelling it balsphamous .

Secondly unfortunately SA is a source of exporting the purist ideology and is the custodian of the holiest sites thereby a strong image for Brand Islam.

I cannot predict that Wahabism will end with the demise to the kingdom...it could turn more dangerous if it ends up as a fractured nation of radicals like Libya .
