He's not alone. Atheism is on the rise in Saudi Arabia, along with other Arab countries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyWsoWu3elU&feature=related

Knowing that in a country like Saudi Arabia you are risking your life if you criticize Islam just proves my point: extreme Islam is dangerous and we need to stop it.
Would any other religion in the world do this, save for some obscure fringe cults I've never heard of?

Yes, I agree with you. We're still trading with Saudi Arabia. It's ironic that we're mean (rightfully so) to Ahmadinejad and criticize him for how he runs his country, but the Saudi king is treated liked a king.

I think we should try to support the Arab Atheists and stop supporting brutal Islamic countries. I've done my best to promote this video.

@H.Q. To my knowledge he isn't. You can find him on Facebook. His pseudo-name is Yasser George.
