Yeah Fuzzbot, at 5am I'm supposed to follow if you're in Switzerland, in an Arab country, from Iran, or what the fuck the story is at the moment. I'm sure by the end of the day you'll say you were living in Qatar instead.
My point is still valid.

Bahrain has laws against freedom of the Press. Like Law 47 "A new press and publishing law, issued by royal decree in Bahrain yesterday, has abolished a controversial jail punishment for journalists convicted of transgressions except those who call for overthrowing the regime, defaming Islam or criticising the king, the official news agency, BNA, reported."

BBC did an index of policial freedoms in the Middle East, and Bahrain ranked just above Iran. Now I'm no fan of the BBC, and I can't imagine how Yemen, or Sudan could outrank Bahrain... but

Oh and Fuzzbot... you'd have had a better chance of meeting a Jew in Iran then Bahrain..... there are a whopping 35 Jews left, from 4 families, and not a single permanent Synagogue. Your perception of things is about as learned from a text book as anybody elses in this forum. If anything, some of us here are at an advantage, not having been indoctrinated with hate through the notorious Arab media. Watch any good mini-series on the Protocols of Zion lately?
Ziggy, you've made the exact same argument, even on harsher terms then I have. So sit down. Consdering my people are a target of popularized Islam, I think my views are pretty fucking free to be you and me. Wasn't I just taking some the same arguments that Fuzzbot is making, and defending Islam a minute ago?
