The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has rendered the sale of sex aids legal in the state of Texas! Wonder if there was a rush on all those supposedly illegal adult "bookstores" all over the state today?

RIYADH, February 14 (RIA Novosti) - Prices on red roses, a worldwide symbol of love, have increased five-fold in Saudi Arabia, as shops are forced to sell them under the counter following a ban by the country's religious police.

On February 10, the religious police, or Muttawa, banned all red items from shop shelves. The ban is enforced by squads of the country's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, who raided florists and gift shops on the eve of Valentine's Day.

"The commission is instructed to seize all gifts, that symbolize this pagan holiday, and to bring to justice those who sell them," Sheikh Ibrahim ibn Abdullah Al-Ghaith, president of the Commission, told the Al-Jazirah newspaper.

He added that the Muttawa would stop all celebration of this "frivolous Western custom," to protect the Islamic faith. The newspaper said that this year, the number of raids had increased significantly.

The methods of the religious police range from raising public awareness to arresting those who promote the day by wearing red tops and distributing red roses.

All non-Islamic holidays, religious services and symbols are banned in Saudi Arabia. However, religious police promise not to harass non-Muslims, who tend to celebrate Valentine's Day, "on the condition they do not do it in public places."

Many Saudi Arabian residents believe that enforcing the ban on such events only draws public attention to the holiday.

"It triggers the principle that forbidden fruit is sweet," one Saudi told the newspaper.

I repeat, " I may not like the rules you live by, but I will enforce them" must be the mantra of every middle eastern muslim soldier over there defending those poor women and children of the middle east. Have we become the new tyranny?

Ahhhh, but if you accept the theory of anthropogenic global warming (of which I am extremely skeptical and a distinct minority around these parts), you must be aware that biofuels cause a higher release of carbon dioxide than does the use of fossil fuels.

Beyond that, Saudi Arabia is an interesting place. If you believe a Kingdom can be governed solely by a monarch or a ruling family you are ignoring the lessons of history. If you don't know who the Wahabbis are, you might enjoy reading a history of Saudi Arabia. We (the nations of the OECD) will be dependent on maintaining the goodwill of the Sauds for decades to come. In many respects, they have been responsible citizens of the world. In any event, it is, after all, their country.
