All important military positions in Libyan rebel government are occupyed by Al-Quaeda

Saudi Arabia is one of approximately thirty countries in the world with judicial corporal punishment. In Saudi Arabia's case this includes amputations of hands and feet for robbery, and flogging for lesser crimes such as "sexual deviance" and drunkenness. The number of lashes is not clearly prescribed by law and is varied according to the discretion of judges, and ranges from dozens of lashes to several hundreds, usually applied over a period of weeks or months.

In 2004, the United Nations Committee Against Torture criticized Saudi Arabia over the amputations and floggings it carries out under Sharia. The Saudi delegation responded defending "legal traditions" held since the inception of Islam 1,400 years ago and rejected interference in its legal system.

Saudi Arabia also engages in capital punishment, including public executions by beheading.[9] The death penalty can be imposed for a wide range of offences[10] including murder, rape, armed robbery, repeated drug use, apostasy,[11] adultery,[12] witchcraft and sorcery[13] and can be carried out by beheading with a sword,[11] stoning or firing squad,[12] followed by crucifixion.[13] In 2005 there were 191 executions, in 2006 there were 38, in 2007 there were 153, and in 2008 there were 102.[14]

Saudi women face discrimination in many aspects of their lives, such as the justice system. Although they make up 70% of those enrolled in universities, for social reasons, women make up 5% of the workforce in Saudi Arabia,[16] the lowest proportion in the world. The treatment of women has been referred to as "sex segregation"[17][18] and "gender apartheid".[19][20] Implementation of a government resolution supporting expanded employment opportunities for women met resistance from within the labor ministry,[21] from the religious police,[22] and from the male citizenry.[23]

2005, adult male citizens were allowed to vote for some municipal seats, although plans for future elections, which may include adult women, have been put on hold indefinitely.

Political parties are banned, but some political dissidents were freed in the 1990s on the condition that they disband their political parties. Today, only the Green Party of Saudi Arabia remains, although it is an illegal organization. Trade unions are also banned, but the government has granted permission for Saudi citizens to form some private societies, which are allowed to do some humanitarian work within the kingdom.

Public demonstrations or any public act of dissent are forbidden. In April 2011, during the Arab Spring, the kingdom made it a crime to publish any criticism harming the reputation of government or religious leaders, or which harms the interests of the state.[44]

You need to remove your rose coloured spectacles Margot because they are clouding your judgement.

 

The subject is All important military positions in Libyan rebel government are occupyed by Al-Quaeda. Margot has confirmed twice that All important military positions in Libyan rebel government are occupyed by Al-Quaeda. On the 1st page

The tread/subject should be closed as everyone agrees.

If you want to start another subject start a new tread.

 

Analysts say that the core of the rebel fighting force is the islamists. Actually the rebels have no other able units other than islamists and foreign supporters.

 

So you have to ask yourself why is the US supporting AQ and terrorists now in Libya like they did Afghanistan!

 

Head of the Transitional Council Abdul Jalil . The US and NATO's recently installed puppet

Did he ever come up with that proof he said he had that Gaddaffi ordered the Lockerbie Bombing

Anyone have a link so I can view it

 

How about...this might be difficult I know...

Doing the research yourself instead of relying on those purporting to be purveying the truth of the situation too you. Al-Jazeera is a KNOWN biased source of information.

Take note, Sir. For I shall educate you.

Any state news is a non sequitur, as biased media cannot be trusted, you should be relying on your own intelligence to gather the information you seek. I'm not denying what they say, and what they say cannot be confirmed either. They are a special interest group just like all the other "Fair and balanced" media.

Or are you keen on just advancing your hatred instead of enlightened reasoning? I happen to love Egypt and it's people, and I know they aren't stupid. So why are you degrading them? Can they not think for themselves? Must they accept the agenda of another party as their own to survive? Should have stuck to Mubarak in that case.

 

This is the usual nonsense that comes out of having too set a view of the world. No-one else had a reason for the Lockerbie bombing and nobody claimed responsibility, something that usually occurs as the triumphant terrorists prove how dangerous they are. So if not Libya, who?
