Overview:

We have received quite a few awards for our web site. We have also been temporarily banned by at least two Internet censorship software groups who misunderstood the nature of our web site. Finally, the government of Saudi Arabia does not permit its citizens to access this site. They may feel that the concept of religious freedom and tolerance is too threatening. _1,2
