    Saudi Foreign Ministry called on Sweden to "stop all actions that directly contradict international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, "

    Tolerance. They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

    How about tolerating freedom of speech against a death-cult?

    “moderation and rejection of extremism”

    The Saudi Foreign Ministry. That’s like a fossil-fuel power-station asking a windmill not to release greenhouse gases.

      Sweden should do a deal, if tolerance is the goal, they’ll ban Quaran burnings when SA legalises gay marriage.

      Yeah, where was the tolerance when they were disintegrating the body of a Washington Post journalist for being critical of their regime?

    Good. Maybe the envoy can explain the concept of freedom of expression to them. It’s going to come as rather a shock…
