Saudi Arabia has introduced a series of new laws which define atheists as terrorists, according to a report from Human Rights Watch.

In a string of royal decrees and an overarching new piece of legislation to deal with terrorism generally, the Saudi King Abdullah has clamped down on all forms of political dissent and protests that could "harm public order".

I mis-read the post title, which is just as well, as "Saudi Arabia declares all athletes are terrorists" is a bit bonkers by anyone's standards!

Actually, one of the candidates for the FIFA presidency has been accused to leading a group that specifically targeted members of the (I think it was) Bahrain national football team that took part in the aborted Arab Spring uprising in that country.

So 'anybody's standard' can be pretty bat-[LIFTED] mental depending on who 'anybody' is.

Me too, but it was 5 in the morning when I looked and I hadn't had any coffee! :lol:

I failed the United Arab Emirates security checks for work because I put 'none' under the box for religion on the form.

You're right about the date, but it's genuine.
