Nick Cohen is a right twat but I agree with his position on Wahhabism

An interesting point to note about Nick's argument is that although he compares massive Saudi cash inputs to a hypothetical European Protestant evangelism in Saudi, this isn't a very good example. Much of Europe is now avowedly secular and so a better example, and one that is very much a reality in Saudi Arabia at the moment- unlike the banned evangelism of other religions- would have been the promotion of secular democracy. The Saudis are just as resistant to that particular piece of philosophy and it reveals a lot more of the insanity of their extremist position than any example of bible-bashing Jesus freak religion does (just as bad in my eyes).
