    I tell you what would happen in Saudi Arabia.

    He or she would be sentenced to death.

    In Turkey?

    I would be surprised If anything would happen. Since Turkey is a secular country.

    Only after Erdogan's tremendous effort, the guy was forgiven by the King.

    There're one more Turk though. I will google him If I remember the name correctly.

    And this proves what I said quite well. If you insult God, you will be sentenced to death. And If your country's president doesn't have the balls to save you, you will be dead. As simple as that.

    The king pardon's people all the time... especially foreigners.

    Look at the British booze bombers.. they were ultimately deported.

    But this doesn't mean that you are not going to be sentenced to death when you swear at God. The question is whether the King would forgive you or not. Sounds like a good judicial system. :omg:

    Well, indeed, you should be maniac to swear at Allah in Saudi Arabia. According to the sentenced Turkish guy, he didn't say anything bad, it was a conspiracy against him by his neighbor.

    All these things prove one thing. Saudi Arabia's judicial system is a joke.

    There would have to have been more than one witness to the Turk's swearing.

    Probably the neighboor was supported by false witnesses.

    On average, no.

    If anything, we make far more consolations for our migrant labor than just about any other country.

    The DREAM Act is a good example of this.

    If you brought a concept like that to the Saudi regime, they'd laugh in your face.

    We do. We don't enforce labor rights quite as well as Canada and much of Europe, but we certainly have more rights for labor here than in most of the Middle East.

    It all comes back to the fact that the religious police should be disbanded and that Saudi Arabia needs a better form of governance.
