I am stereotyping abusive nature of Muslim states in a thread about someone going to jail for speaking in a Muslim state?

LOL! I don't remember any of this: beer or the movie :-P Bali is the shit. I love that place. Haven't seen any other part of Indonesia though.

Didn't I make it abundantly clear that it's only in a majority aggregate that Muslims tend to fall under those adjectives? Minority pockets and individuals are fine. It's majority Muslim states that I have a problem with. And

Another ex-Muslim here. Not all of Indonesia is off limits. I just came back from Bali and it's awesome. Muslims as a minority are tolerable. But no way will I trust them as a majority, much less a ruling population. Creepy, overreachi

Now that it came to light that you are in Malaysia, I would modify my initial suggestion. 1) I don't recommend escape as before. I was fearing you might be in an Arab country. Malaysia has what vaguely resembles a law, at least. 2) On

Escape the country. Going into a foreign embassy is not gonna do you any good. "The Free World" spies on, and jails its own people, and it will not risk another Mohammad cartoongate helping you. So don't even think about requ

Between this and both sides publicly announcing they're arming opposing sides of the Syrian conflict, I can't help but think the cold-war is making a comeback. I am not saying that Russia should betray Snowden's trust and han

And there is nothing wrong with that. Xamarin staff have given the world so much; I'd say billion+ dollar industry was built on the back of their labor. About time Miguel et al profited.

In the Middle East, forbidden literature is best distributed digitally. It's far easier to conceal, transmit, and even produce. There are some Arabic book clubs online that have more materials than most physical libraries. Two great ex
