Tom Jones: Sorry about the missing link. It’s now fixed. You can either click the MEMRI link above or go directly to it via:

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.

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.

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.

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.
