An Arab conference was held in which it was decided that inflammatory religious passages would be removed from school text books.
Critics say language exercises in Saudi schools have sometimes asked children to complete sentences like "God hates..." - the correct answer being "infidels".
A text used by 13 and 14-year-olds in Saudi Arabia used to call on Muslims not to befriend Christians and Jews because "emulation of the infidels leads to loving them". The passage was recently erased. article
I just wonder who has what on whom. The missing 28 pages. The bin Laden-Bush connections. The arms and chemicals that made their way to Libya from Yemen who purchased them some from North Korea, and some from the United States.
The "capture" of Hussein, Libyan capitulation on nuclear weapons. So much is going down right now, all of a sudden. Markers are being called in.
The two-day summit, convened amid tight security, also discussed steps towards economic integration, including a single currency and common market.
After Libya said it was giving up plans for nuclear and other banned weapons, the GCC renewed its calls for a Middle East free of all weapons of mass destruction.
It called for Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and subject its nuclear facilities to inspections.
Well, good luck on that one.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
