Well now...rather than you talk out of your ass, I wonder if you really know just WHAT the response might be in SA. Most SA people are Muslim because they 'have' to be. Most business owners are more invested in profit than prophets. The Royal Family maintains their power by balancing progress, growth, capitalism, AND by allowing religious fundamentalists to establish a street order. So, really...it depends on just who it is that you are talking to in SA. Now...
the fundamentlaists might, after thousands of years
and in the midst of a fairly modern culture, might just have the Mutawa beat you. Or they could do something far worse. I dont know if it would be as bad a punishment as if you were...oh...say...gay. I mean...they will kill you for that for sure. Or if you are the female victim of sexual assault. I mean...they will kill you for that too but only because they love you. Or if you are a girl that has sex outside of marriage.
Still.
After all these years.
But you ARE correct. Muslim Fundamentalists might have a pretty dramatic response if you so much as suggest their doctrine might be dogmatic. Makes your kneejerk defense of them rather interesting.
