Although to be fair, I'm sure every country has their share of flat-Earth, religious nutjobs. 😉
who create the the issues the rest of us have to deal with. :|

*Circle=Hebrew "chuwg",meaning "sphere"
Actually, "chuwg" does mean circle. "Duwr" means ball, or sphere. They are not synonyms.

 
Wacky religion or not, nowhere in the Middle East will you find a president/dictator as dumb as Mr. Bush.

If his dog went up to him and said: "Hey, D'you hear, scientists found out the earth is flat" Bush would respond, "Really", OMG you can talk, Am I High??? I Feel like I'm back at Nam, Oh wait,, did i go?

I like the part where it says that women are not allowed to steer the self-propelling carriage not driven by oxens

and that the surface of a woman's skin is composed of a material that must be covered at all times lest she bursts into fire.

Saudi Arabia =! Quran. That would be like saying I love how Americans hate everything that isn't white and lynch it, put it in concentration camps, give it the plague, or just make fun of it, lest it overpower them.

lolz.

Will i get my 42 virgins?

Sure, and for sacrificing yourself for Allah, Allah shall give you 4 bonus ones for FREE! That's right, FREE! This is a one time offer and supplies are limited.

The Quran is pretty funny.

Mohammad believes mountains were made to stop earthquakes when in fact, mountains are the result of earthquakes, and that the stars in the sky are used as missiles to attack the devil.
 
The Earth IS flat... to a first order approximation 😛 In most elementary Physics problems, usually you can treat the Earth as being flat. This is true to a first order approximation (ie the more you zoom in on a really big circle, the flatter it looks - if you zoom out you begin to see that it is actually a circle).

You didn't get the memo? Look around this forum. You're there.

First time I've ever seen it spelled the "Coran" and just so you know, there are still Amurrkans that still believes the earth is flat...forget even knowing where Iraq or Amurrka is.
