It's the "contempt for religion" that would get me.

I thought that Jordan was one of the more progressive countries in that region, but I guess not.

Jordan is one of the more progressive countries in the region. It's a lousy region.

There are no "progressive" countries in the Middle East.

Are you really going to torment everyone with these mistakes again? summer's usage is grammatically and substantially correct.

The adverb "more" indicates that summer's analysis is one of degree. -100 degrees is not warm but it is warmer, or more warm, than than -120. Jordan may not be a progressive state, but it is more progressive than Iran.

Did you miss that? Because a grammar school education should suffice for one to understand what the word "more" means.

I would have been burned, quartered, fed hemlock and locked up (not in that order) for blasphemy if I had been born earlier in most countries probably.

Dictators and religious leaders are not a good combination for people like me.

I'm all about the contempt for religion bit. All of them.
