    Do I understand this right? In a country ruled by dark age religious nutcases, six people who said something against said nutcases get arrested?

    Hmmm, go figure. I would think they'd be tortured or dismembered or the like, but simply arrested?

    Those Iatoldyas need to get their act together: They're not going to put the fear of their god into the populace by simply arresting a few wordy wankers.

    And they need me to tell them this? Sheesh.
