Saudi Arabia Releases AIDS Figures

Contrary to what the Saudi Arabian government would have us believe, yes, in fact there are many Saudis suffering with AIDS. 10,000 is the official number, though doctors suggest the real number could be as high as 80,000. Until recently, information about the AIDS virus was a national secret, as many fundamentalist Muslims believe that it is punishment for deviant behavior. We would then ask what it is that the 600 children suffering with the disease to upset God so much. We're sure they have an answer for that as well.
