Better still Shaw why don't you go to Saudi Arabia and tell them all in your "Union Activist - Whaddya think" manner in Mecca exactly what you thing of religion and belief in religion. Then we can all sit back and watch from the comfort of our armchairs your subsequent trial and punishment. It will no doubt commence with the instruction "Wheel the guilty bastard in" (In Arabic of course) as with your views on religion there will be absolutely no question of your "Innocence". Penalty for "Blasphemy" uttered by an infidel under various Sharia Codes of Law is Death, which you may dodge Shaw by adopting the Muslim faith and becoming a devout follower of the religion - A win-win situation for all interested spectators I'd say. As Nigel Parsons has clearly stated: 1: "The journalist (as with any traveller) should be aware of the laws & restrictions in any country they visit. If they are not prepared to live within those laws (no matter how harsh)then they can choose not to visit. We expect visitors to our country to abide by our laws, can we do less when we are the visitors? 2: "If I want to avoid the risk I avoid the country, or abide by their laws if I travel."
