Will Saudis Ban the Letter ‘X'?

Submitted by Ron Wieder, Jan 15, 2007 08:02

Why do we even bother reading these stupid pronouncements ? These people are not our friends, have never been our friends and will never be our friends. The Koran clearly issues the edict: Kill all infidels who do not believe in Mohamed. Do away with "X" ? Sure, and "+" and "Y" and "T" perhaps too ! What kind of religion cannot abide by "Peaceful Co-existence" ? What kind of religion can't even abide by the English alphabet ! If we don't find another energy source so we can thumb our noses at these pathetic people we are fools !
