					<description><![CDATA[Yes, Muscat is a terrible hypocrite - but we knew that. The problem is that so many people don&#039;t see this, probably due to ignorance more than maliciousness. 

Perhaps it might help if someone kept a running list of all his contradictory behaviour, and why they are contradictions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This sort of punishment, irrespective for whatever reason, is not accepted, at all, in our civilisation. If it is permitted in another civilization, that constitutes &quot;a clash of civilizations&quot; that politically-correct people claim does not exist.

Having a clash does not mean that we should join in and add to it, but rather that we should restrain it, but if we are to succeed, first we have to admit that it exists.

The solution is not an ill-defined multicultural nation. Tolerance cannot accommodate the intolerant.

Contrary to what was implied, the second punishment-session was not administered precisely for the medical reason mentioned. That is a very tiny step forward. A second seems to be likely, but I shall not rush to say that it will happen.]]></description>

firstly, let me say that I my opinion is only about the public supporting Charlie hebdo, not politicians, I totally agree that most of them are hypocrites, Putin at the rally in favor of freedom of speech??? really??! so if I am off point, I apologise. 
As for the rest of us, I know protesting is forbidden in Saudi, but what about all those Saudis and Muslims living in countries like Europe, are they out en masse protesting for this cause? No, hardly any of the protesters I have seen in the media are muslim.  I chose to support Charlie H  because I disagree with what they published, but I value the fact that they are free to publish what they want and not risk their lives over it. In our society, to me, the attack was an extension of that law in SA, a  &#039;take the law into their own hands&#039; attitude, So In France this kind of publishing is allowed? well let&#039;s show them. That is why I supported the protest because I am grateful for being here having a banter :) on a lighter note, I did see a &#039;je suis raif&#039; poster somewhere :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I do agree with this article, but if we weren&#039;t busy being Charlie Hebdo now,  this might happen to anyone in Europe who dares blog something &#039;insulting&#039;  a few years from now. 

Something happened in Europe, we reacted, the Saudis should react the same way if they want to defend freedom of speech. If they did, I am sure we would all support them as we did France, but they have allowed these kinds of things for so long, for them it has become the norm, and that doesn&#039;t mean we shouldn&#039;t all be Charlie, or anyone else for that matter. My 2 cents.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - People are not free to protest in Saudi Arabia. That&#039;s the point. That&#039;s why this man is being punished.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For your information, here&#039;s a Charlie Hebdo update:
http://www.infowars.com/charlie-hebdo-report-from-europe/

It is clear from the video that Amedy Coulibaly, one of the alleged gunmen, had his hands tied up at the time of his execution. This favours the theory that the alleged gunmen, with clear connections to CIA asset Al-Awlaki (often described as a triple agent), were patsies and the actual gunmen will remain unknown (although anyone who knows how it works can list the usual suspect categories).

Don&#039;t be bewildered that the world we live in could be so evil; that most politicians are oblivious while others are charming psychopaths.  You&#039;ll get over it once you understand how it all works out.]]></description>

It pains me to have to point out that I was being sarcastic. And also unoriginal, as I should have credited Bill Maher who came up with it in the first place. 

You might want to look up the controversy caused that arose in a discussion about Islam between him and Ben Affleck, a celebrity liberal suffering an overdose of political correctness.]]></description>
