Muslim world edit
Religious segregation occurs throughout the Muslim world, where nations such as Saudi Arabia deny non-Muslims some of the civil rights and voting privileges they grant to Muslims.[1] Many Muslim countries consign non-Muslim monotheists to the status of dhimmis, both officially and by custom.[2] There have been reports of imprisonment, harassment, intimidation, and discrimination based on religious beliefs.[3]In fact until March 1, 2004, the official Saudi government website stated that Jews were forbidden from even entering the country.[4] Saudi Arabia in particular is notorious for very stringent religious laws banning the practice of non-Muslim religions, even prescribing imprisonment and the death penalty for attempting to convert Muslims to other religions.[5]

- Zbigniew Jaworowski, former chairman of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation and chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw: "The IPCC relies on icecore data -- on air that has been trapped for hundreds or thousands of years deep below the surface. These ice cores are a foundation of the global warming hypothesis, but the foundation is groundless -- the IPCC has based its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false."
