The Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia is lifting its 35-year ban on movie theaters. And while Western press appears to be celebrating it, the first thing that comes to my mind is that Hollywood’s pandering to Islam will become even worse than it is.
I love that this one woman alone is going to teach the Islamic kingdom a lesson.

Why do the Jews have to submit to Muslim supremacist demands in their holiest sites? Why is Judaism’s holiest site, the Temple Mount, off limits to Jews, as demanded by Muslims? And yet the world stands silent as non-Muslims are prohibited from entering Mecca. Why does the world submit to this savage ideology? Because they fear death.
