Rally Against Liberties

Far be it for the forces of darkness to let those heathen immoral liberals have the last word, tonight Dr. Nasser Al-Sane' (my MP, I'm embarrassed to add) hosts a seminar to counter last week's liberal slug-fest.

Aside from the usual diatribes against the decline in morals, it should be interesting to hear what editor-in-chief of Al-Watan, Mohammed Abdul-Qader Al-Jassem will have to say in his speech tonight. After all, this is the man who had the guts to tell Sheikh Khaled Al-Mathkoor - a widely respected religious authority - to his face, on live TV, that Kuwait was never a religious country, and that even in the old days there were those who frequented mosques and those who were regulars at the bars and whorehouses that flourished back then, when true Kuwaitis believed in "live and let live".

Everyone knows this to be true, of course.. but it's just never talked about as part of Kuwait's rather colorful "unofficial" history. So you can imagine the sheikh's face going white on live TV!
