Quoting einsteinboricua (Reply 2): That being said, the Al Saud clan has a real problem: so far all of the kings have been sons of Abdulaziz and they're not exactly the young men they were back then. Who will be the first monarch to appoint a grandson of Adbulaziz as Crown Prince? And how to decide among the hundreds of possible grandsons? |
Quoting ChaosTheory (Reply 5): A good man and a good King. |
Quoting 11Bravo (Reply 6): I don't see how that could possibly be true. Saudi Arabia is medieval and repressive in the extreme. The Saudi's are the root cause of the radicalization of Islam and all the death and destruction that has resulted. It is an evil government and it's leaders are horrible human beings. Good riddance. |
Quoting ChaosTheory (Reply 7): You could just as easily replace Saudi with the US in your post (barring the medieval bit). |
Quoting ChaosTheory (Reply 10): I refer you to comments that have been made by the likes of Ron Paul and intelligence staff such as Michael Scheuer. |

Quoting 11Bravo (Reply 24): the KSA and it's Wahhabi religious leaders with radicalization of Muslims |
Quoting 11Bravo (Reply 24): there is an enormous body of evidence that directly connects the KSA and it's Wahhabi religious leaders with radicalization of Muslims in a whole host of different countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan. Iraq, Egypt, Malaysia, Philippines, Bosnia, and Chechnya. |
Quoting TheCommodore (Reply 23): Aren't you originally from the US, where the execute people on a daily basis ? |
Quoting notaxonrotax (Reply 25): -The reception at the airport was simply rude towards foreigners. Myself included. -I found the religious police checkpoints intimidating. (Would I be allowed to keep my Christian cross I wondered?). -I have chatted and discussed islam and the local culture with some friendly locals. It seems like a different world! (1 example: the man can only see their wife to be for a few minutes before she covers up again. Then the man must decide yay or nay! Amazing!) -Life seems so boring in town. I saw men chatting in tea houses, no women to look at; no (apparent) laughter, no joy. -In the desert I saw guys sitting around camp fires, 8 cars parked along the side of the road. What is that all about? |

Quoting zrs70 (Reply 32): There's a blessing in our prayer-book (Jewish) that simply asks that our leaders govern with goodness. |
Quoting TheCommodore (Reply 33): Well, almost. In 2000 the US executed 98 in that year, that makes it almost 1 every 4 or so day. |
Quoting einsteinboricua (Reply 2): Salman is reported to be on the liberal side of things (which is good because the previous heir, Nayef, wasn't). |
