We have all heard the horror stories of the barbarity of ISIS…….we have seen the beheadings, the torture, the burning alive, etc………
Yet the Saudis are executing people by beheading……..the canings, the treatment of women……in other words the Saudis are doing the same thing as ISIS and we are perfectly fine with it……why is that?
In case you are not aware of it……..the religious ideology of AQ and ISIS originated in Saudi Arabia……it is called Wahabbism……
The US is closely allied with the Saudis and yet they are barbarity central……..why? We continuously condemn ISIS for their barbarity and yet the Saudis go unmentioned……….why?
“NED Ignores Saudi Barbarism”
I do not!
gigoid
aka, Ned
Me either….Americans have NO idea just how bad the Saudis are…….
I like these stories about Saudi Arabia, and I’ve blogged a couple of them, too. They behead people, and we put up with it ! 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi….The only reason we put up with it is because Saudi Arabia is our oil “butt buddy,” (according to a site I watch…).
But they still get a treatment like few others……
dissentinutopia.wordpress.com Why? C’mon, you know, it’s a rhetorical question. One – Saudi has huge reserves of cheap crude and acts as the world’s swing producer of oil. In other words it can undermine excessive price rises. Two – the oil sales accumulate huge funds which can fee western banks and provide a lucrative market for everything from construction projects to fighter jets. Three – the Saudis have in the past been very dependent on their western allies keeping them in power. A dependent ally is the best ally to have. I’m sure if I sat and thought about it I could come up with some more obvious facts.
I agree with you completely,,,,,,others need to pay attention and learn about these so-called allies….thanx for the visit……chuq
