When I was doing my searches I found reference to the United States as being fundamentalist
but I agree, Roman Catholic would be good competition for Islam Fundamentalism. Although like with religions in the West, some are more fundamentalist than the others, so was wondering whether Dirk has come across literature that would have ranked Islamic Fundamentalist countries in order of most fundamentalist?

Totally right. But probably when one pursues fundamentalists, some of it rubs off on you, not only in their eyes, but even in the eyes of your own people. The link below is not the one I saw when I made my comment in my previous posting, but I would have imagined that their debate would have been similar nonsense:http://www.sullivan-county.com/news/
Some of what you say is right on, but I think there is a little bit of a lack of appreciation of a completely different culture in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. Women are suppressed, but somehow they are making progress as well. The country is the wealthiest in the region, and also is spending money on specialists, there is a thriving expat community in Saudi. I would not want to live there, but it could be an interesting experience. Malaysia is also quite fundamentalist though.
Right. Saudi Arabia is not a good place for a woman to be. Even for women from outside Saudi Arabia who are professionals. They may not be able to attend some of the functions that are organized during international conferences. Diving can also be trickey. They have to wear the black dress with heads covered. If they apply to enter the country, they get carefully scrutinized, most get permission from their fathers or brothers, and be accompanied by the latter when they visit Saudi.The worst part is it's all fake Shar'ia Law. I mean really, how do you oppress a sex in the name of a legal system that names them the masters of all wealth? If SA was truly ruled by Shar'ia Law, all banks would be lead by woman and most CEO's would also be woman. A fact that the House of Suad likes to ignore.
That would cut down on traffic here.
True. But I do hate to see "anyone" putting on makeup while driving.
Cell phones are first on the list. Make-up even worse. I've seen people reading while they are driving!!!!! I notice that some countries have started with legislation against texting with mobile phones as well. I guess eating and drinking are also distracting, especially when what you are eatin falls on your lap or on the floor, and you spill your drink.That's probably just about anyone's pet hate. Along with cell phones (to use the American term) and cigarettes.
Right, that, most of all, as of course people start to fiddle with it when these gadgets aren't working and puzzle about it being completely distracted from what is going on out on the road.

Right, perhaps for a large number of postings already. I notice the topic is "Will Khamene flee Iran", perhaps this thread needs to be closed?
