What should we really call the people fighting against a non-democratic |
|
ruling family in Saudi Arabia? Now, if the people of Iraq had begun to fight against Saddam, we would have joined in and supported them. However, the people fighting against the royal family in Saudi Arabia are called terrorists because we support the non-democratic ruling family in SA. Honestly, is it any wonder the rest of the world thinks we are lying everytime we open our mouths?

2. You don't seriously believe they're fighting for Democracy? |
|
Their internal dissidents are not the slightest bit interested in creating a constitutional democracy. Their stated aim is the creation of an Islamic Republic governed by Koranic Law. Saudi Arabia's government is almost that now. But "almost" is not good enough for the fundamentalists.
