As owner of the ironic nickname "St. James the Apostate", everyone knows my loving hatred of religion (you can debate whether or not Buddhism is a religion), but since I don't have any really good ideas as to what else can fulfill religion's role in civilized societies (instead of its pernicious role in blood-thirsty ones), it's good to see that folks like King Mohammed VI are trying very hard to keep the proverbial baby instead of the co-proverbial bathwater that the Wahabbists embrace. Imagine an Islamic state in which:
- Women don't live in fear.
- The King calls himself First Among Equals.
- Democracy & self-determination instead of kleptocracy is the order of things.
PS. I'm now putting my links in pictures where available, so when you don't see a link try the image.

spiffy. how do you do it? Since it's an image, I can't click on it to "view source."
And, yes, this dude rocks. He's revitalising the old Sufi traditions...
Russ: two words for you -- edit source. :)
Tried that, couldn't get at the code... sure it can be done, can't figure out how... got two more words? :)
yeah, view source on the frame, not the image
