The letter "X" soon may be banned in Saudi Arabia because it resembles the mother of all banned religious symbols in the oil kingdom: the cross.

I'm doubting the authenticity of this article, but I got a giggle out of it nonetheless. :p

Brilliant.

Now a person can become a martyr for Jesus by trying to teach his word to the Saudis.

...wait.

You mean if I'm a religious Christian, I'd get into Paradise - eternal bliss - by going to Saudi Arabia and breaking their laws?

Wouldn't this... encourage Christian missionaries?

I don't know. Do Christian missionaries usually carry booze and pornography on them?

While I do not doubt the overall insanity that exists in the Saudi leadership, I don't think this is to be taken seriously. I am no authority on the subject, but I do believe that Jesus Christ is a prophet in the eyes of Muslims.

Indeed, but portrayal of religious symbols is still prohibited, and who knows what the ultra-conservative religious leadership over there is thinking at the moment?

I lean towards doubting this, but the paper itself doesn't look especially disreputable.

I can see it now...

"Mom! Can we get a Bo 360?"

"Acapulco is a city in Meico."

"Malcolm was one of the most controversial American civil rights leaders."

"Hey, have you seen that movie Men 2 yet?"

:D

At least they'd do away with that nasty & unpleasant se.

It might help them get over their enophobia, too. :)

*nasal whine*

Please explain.

you’ know apart from the quote in the OP there are no diagonal letters in this thread :)

i don't now. at least I know have the date set for inavding saudi arabia.

The ever self righteous evangelists seem be particularily eager to spread the word that "Allah is a moon god". Meanwhile the Saudis like being a bunch of self righteous assholes who behead people the odd time. You could see how this could be a win-win situation for both sides.....

*nasal whine*

Please explain.

LOL. But don't you mean eplain? ;)

I should have noticed that. :D

:eek: I want to know what the penalty will be for using it?

And they get so offended when scholars suggest that Christianity is a variation of pagan rituals and festivals.

eecution. :p

beheading with an a?:p

No moar sex for Saudis, plenty of secks though.

I wonder how ecruciating that would be?

You mean sex isn't banned in Saudi Arabia?

No, but it will be soon if this article is true.

Soon it'll just be surprise buttsechs for everyone!

I don't know. Do Christian missionaries usually carry booze and pornography on them?

Quite often the booze.

I wonder how ecruciating that would be?

probably we will need an eemplar to eamine the eact level of ecruciation:D

Quite often the booze.

Meh. I could survive on one, but I wouldn't bother without the free porn too.

ecellent, an etraordinary idea - I trust you are eperienced enough to be appointed to this eclusive position, which is of etreme importance. The task is etemporaneous in nature, so you'll be setting an eample for us all.

Quite often the booze.


A few have been found hiding in and around the closet, it must be said.

This isn't really crazy when you realise that the Saudi national language is Arabic, and the letter X doesn't exist in it. So they won't have any problems.

You're right to doubt this.

I saw this on digg (http://www.digg.com) a couple of weeks ago. It's a commentary piece.

This isn't really crazy when you realise that the Saudi national language is Arabic, and the letter X doesn't exist in it. So they won't have any problems.

Still, as much international stuff as is done in English, it's bound to pop up...

We better just hope that the Saudi roywalty never breaks any bones, lest they need to take an -ray. And I better tell people to cross Riyadh off as a vacation spot if they root for the Boston Red So. Let's hope they don't have Netfli over there. And it's a good thing Muslims aren't as into music, or else they might have to confiscate the rogue ylophone. And IDF better not wear a Re Grossman jersey.

Seriously, though. If this is true, all I can say is: Whiskey. Tango. Fotrot.

Well, it's still crazy in a literal sense. And as IHP said, what of foreigners that need to conduct their business there? Proverbially speaking, they're up to their knees in ecrement.

While I do not doubt the overall insanity that exists in the Saudi leadership, I don't think this is to be taken seriously. I am no authority on the subject, but I do believe that Jesus Christ is a prophet in the eyes of Muslims.

He is, but the Qur'an goes on to reference the prophesies that Jesus made well into later life, it says that he was still sitting around in Judaea giving out pearls of wisdom until he was in his 80s... so there is some contradiction with the Christian claim that he died on the cru at the age of 31...

The vien eplained to the fo that, ecept in etraordinary circumstances, there would be be no se until he had his boto eamined.

(This is hard... but fun!)

You can use "cs" or "ks" ... "The viksen eksplained to the foks that, eksept in ekstraordinary circumstances, there would be no seks until he had his botoks eksamined."

Just be glad they haven't noticed that the letter T also looks a little like a cross.

Eacdly. Ozerwise, we are going to have some significand difficuldy wiz words such as ezclamachion and ezracherreschrial.

Stupid Etremists! Someone needs to eamine their brains.

All that sand, it's finally worked its way inside ...

'cks', no?

I don't know. Do Christian missionaries usually carry booze and pornography on them?

they should, maybe people will be more willing to let them into their house if they did.

Indeed, but portrayal of religious symbols is still prohibited, and who knows what the ultra-conservative religious leadership over there is thinking at the moment?
But are they thinking at all?

Maybe someone will build a planearium. Bonus points for the reference.

South Park. What can I redeem my points for?

Metaphorical beer and the cure for that mysterious bone disease. Save up enough points and you can get yourself a lifetime supply of Cheesy Poofs or one of those brain-erasing machines.

Score!

I think if the Saudis are banning the letter 'x' then we should invade and liberate these poor arabs. The advantages are they have shit loads of oil, virtually control the OPEC cartel on their own, they fund the spread of Wahhibism, their family spawned Bin Laden, have a only 11 people per square kilometre so any occupation of key areas should be easy enough... oh... and they have an oppresive human rights record. It's a win-win situtation. Unless you belong to the House of Saud of course.

Like Anne Coulter said in 2001, we invade them, kill their leaders, and convert them all to Christianity. You get started, I'll order some sandwiches. How's ham and cheese suit you?

Sign me up, I want a sandwich.

And we can just threaten to blow up their religious cities if they resist.

I'm banned from Saudi Arabia too, I think. And if I'm not, I'll run naked around the Mecca shouting "Jesus is coming"

You do realize all hell would break loose if that happened...Like not even kidding. 24/7 suicide attacks against who ever invaded the lands. It'd be like Iraq times 911 times 69 times 42

Yes, THAT bad.

I think they'll eventually ban all motor vehicles and non-coal heating, so they will have more oil to export. Then they'll ban clitorises, then breasts, than penises, then vaginas, then testicles, then babies, and in 30 years Saudi Arabia will be a dead country.


What if they ban death?

IT is a legit newspaper. I have no further comment because it's not worth it.

Yes, THAT bad.At only 11ppl/sqkm I think all hell breaking loose would be fairly manageable. You could probably stir up a lot of hatred for the House of Saud and their religious police before you invaded anyway. OR, if all else fails, you threaten to go to Medina and disinter Mohammad and string him up like a puppet and get him to dance through the streets of Medina live on TV. I mean if they go apeshit over a simply depictation of Mohammad just think what that would do to them. :)

What if they ban death?Easy. Deal with it like those ancient suicide laws. If you are convicted of attempting to die then you should face the death penalty.

You do realize if any nation attacks Saudi arabia, it'd been seen as an attack on Islam, and you'd have nearly every muslim world wide to deal with. Thats the trouble with you little sneaky plan

The ones I have met do.

Ugh. I knew a girl who was going out with a megalomaniac. He shouted that during sex. Boy, did they break up pretty fast.

The culture already bans clitorises. Hence FGM.

Wow, the NSG Islamophobes seem to be having a field day with this garbage article...:(

My already immeasurable hatred of Saudi Arabia has just increased even further.

You do realize if any nation attacks Saudi arabia, it'd been seen as an attack on Islam, and you'd have nearly every muslim world wide to deal with. Thats the trouble with you little sneaky planWe just have to giving all the Muslim nations lots of aid before we invade. If they have a problem we just cough and mutter something about aid and then give them a brown envelope to the national leaders.

Alternatively we fund a war between the Sufis and the Wahhabis. Those two groups pretty much hate each other don't they? It's like two birds with one stone. The Wahhabis are lame bunch of fanatics, whereas the Sufis rock. Arab mysticism and everything. :)

Brilliant.

What are you talking about?

And why are people doubting this article? This fits perfectly with past Saudi actions.

Like Anne Coulter said in 2001, we invade them, kill their leaders, and convert them all to Christianity. You get started, I'll order some sandwiches. How's ham and cheese suit you?

Perfect. The sooner we get those Muslim folk started on the deliciousness that is ham, the better. Let's send out beer, blue jeans, bikinis, and professional wrestling as well. Oh yeah, and we'll give The Jerry Springer Show a new filming location - that's right, live from Riyadh.
