All you can do is keep smiling, well that, and take everything that's said with a massive pinch of salt;)

What was MOST interesting about the linked article was this pargraph:

Immediately following the Makkah school fire back in 2002 when tragically 15 schoolgirls died, there were also assurances by various civil departments that all schools would soon undergo a vigorous fire safety inspection and offending schools would be shut down. It is nearing the end of 2011 and it is only today that we are hearing of schools being shut down today for such offenses. Does it indeed take nine years to get something as vital to public welfare as this done?

Want to know why those schoolgirls burned to death? Because the mutawa wouldn't let them leave the burning school without their abayas on.

Think I'm kidding? Google it.
