   Thanks John, Cartoons in the Arabic world are a very powerful method to get messages across. I am glad there are many of these cartoons showing up daily.

   Actually we have a first on your site. A picture on the article

   My favorite of the cartoons was this one

   Very simple and gets the message across regarding the influence of the extreme websites out there.

   Actually, the second picture! I had one of Rima Al-Baz, a few years back. But I do take your point.

   I’m going to be negotiating with Saudi media to obtain permission to use their photos/cartoons so I can do more of it. I do not want to violate intellectual property rights, particularly in places where those rights are not well-observed in the first place.

   The good news is that it is may not necessarily be a problem in the hardware but a problem in the programming. Perhaps a little rewiring of the hardware and a new program would do the trick. It is all in the mind!

   Slipping in a new program is much easier then changing the hardware.

   ROTFL! I like’d your cartoon too Saudi in US!!!!

   What I liked is having the random accusation of apostacy put forward as a bad habit.
