America's support for Saudi despotism

[MongGrel]

Here's a picture worth a thousand words...

And yes, that says a lot.

Depends on the individual.

Considering current and past political, societal, cultural, and religious problems with various different ethnical or religious cultures bickering over control or representation in multi-culture countries I think it is clear that the Shiites in Southwest Arabia need to have their own sovereign state that is separate from both the Saudi Sunni and Yemen Sunni so that all cultures may live their daily life and not have to survive under the conflict and oppression of any other cultures.

This goes for the Kurds and Assyrians also and they are Sunni and Christian so it is not just the Shiites who are oppressed in certain areas right now.

Hmm, notice I'm talking about the average-faith Muslim, and I'd say you really shouldn't trust us in a serious military or political rule.

For example, John Abi Zaid, former leader of US Central Command during early years of Iraq occupation, he is from Arabic descendants yet they're Christians, not Muslims.


For Najran region to be independent that is a crazy idea, they'd lose much and gain nothing in return. Though I agree that SA needs much work to lessen the tension between Sunni and the Shiites, this is very important since the tensions became all-time-high among some of it's citizens. (not all though, honestly the majority just doesn't care, contrary to what you guys might think)

Please. The house of Saud has a symbiotic relationship with the Wahhabis, the very essence of Sunni intolerance.

Please. The house of Saud has a symbiotic relationship with the Wahhabis, the very essence of Sunni intolerance.

Notice that I mainly used "SA land", because that what matters much to every Muslim's heart out there.

However, based on my personal view and understanding, I'd like to emphasize that Wahhabisim isn't as grim as you might think and it's really not in their intentions to produce ISIS or al-Qaeda members.
For example, perhaps you know that there are around 60K Saudi students which are actively studying in the USA, and none of them had any role in the 9/11 attacks.
Just saying that SA isn't intentionally producing terrorists. It's a point to either consider it or throw it away if you whish.

That said, it's not all roses and I strongly disagree about some matters in their doctrine and ideologies, though I won't prefer discussing them since I'm living in the region and seem you guys already aware of few such subjects.
