Wait. Wut?
In the most recent events, congress passed a law that would allow the family members of 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government for the actions of their religious extremists.
Yeah, so that'd make as much sense as congress passing a law to allow victims of Westboro Baptist Church harassment to sue the US federal government. In other words, it makes no sense at all. The Saudi government is not any more responsible for the acts of their religious extremists than the US federal government is responsible for the religious extremists of the Westboro Baptist Church.
You don't seem to GET the FACT that Wahhabism is the ONLY sect of Islam officially allowed in Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabs control schools, mosques, broadcast media, and ALL ASPECTS of public conduct in the Kingdom.
There IS NOT "Westboro" comparison because Westboro RUNS the place, ALL OF IT.
This is a FACT, a 100 percent FACT. If other Muslims live, visit or work there, it is ONLY because the Kingdom chooses to ignore their presence.
Shi'ia Muslims are considered non-Muslims, ALL OTHER Muslims are considered NON-MUSLIMS.
They are only TOLERATED.
The modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was formed in 1932 by the House of Saud, who are followers of a strict interpretation of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism or "the Wahhabite mission". Followers of the Wahhabite mission—who dominate religious institutions, courts and education of the kingdom—believe Muslims should return to the interpretation of Islam found in the classical texts, the Quran and the Sunnah. They also believe that Muslims who seek intercession from holy men, such as the imams revered by Shia, are not true Muslims.
Again,
THIS IS FACT
Saudi is no democracy. Even so, the hard core religious extremists practicing the Wahabism are opposed to any more modern, less restrictive, less religious social policies.
Please stop, you're embarrassing yourself and don't even know it. You do not know the first thing about Saudi Arabia's Royal Family and their relationship with the Wahhab, nor do you know the first inkling about the House of Saud's troubles with them.
The Saudi royal family has had a history of slow and steady pace of implementing more modern, less restrictive, less religious social policies as they deem their society and culture can adopt them. So, yes, there is opposition there.
NO, there is NO opposition EXCEPT that by younger members of the House of Saud, who are engaged in a fatal game of cat and mouse with the Wahhabi. And furthermore, were it not FOR their "shaved ape mercenaries" the Americans, and our continual care and feeding of their military, the Wahhabists would have mounted the heads of the House of Saud on spikes outside Jiddah and Mecca a long time ago.
We ARE the boy with the finger in the dike and we've had that finger there so long we don't even realize that we have lost the use of one arm.
Sorry but you need to acquaint yourself with the REALITY of Islam in the Kingdom and I would be more than happy to connect you with any number of Saudis who would be happy to explain it to you.
Just ask
