The Independent: Saudi Arabia is the West’s real enemy

Saudi Arabia executes one person every two days

The well-known British national newspaper in London said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia is the evil empire of the West’s real enemy.The report, written by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, mentions some of Saudi Arabia’s cruel sentences, materialistic ideology and terrorist funding.

“Saudi Arabia executes one person every two days. Ali Mohammed al-Nimr is soon to be beheaded then crucified for taking part in pro-democracy protests during the Arab Spring. He was a teenager then. Raif Badawi, a blogger who dared to call for democracy, was sentenced to 10 years and 1,000 lashes. Last week, 769 faithful Muslim believers were killed in Mecca where they had gone on the Hajj. Initially, the rulers said it was “God’s will” and then they blamed the dead. Mecca was once a place of simplicity and spirituality. Today the materialistic Saudis have bulldozed historical sites and turned it into the Las Vegas of Islam – with hotels, skyscrapers and malls to spend, spend, spend. The poor can no longer afford to go there. Numbers should be controlled to ensure safety – but that would be disastrous for profits. 

In the 14 years that have followed 9/11, the Saudis have become more aggressive, more determined to win the culture wars. They pour money into Islamist organizations and operations, promote punishing doctrines that subjugate women and children, and damn liberal values and democracy. They are pursuing a cruel bombing campaign in Yemen that has left thousands of civilians dead and many more in dire straits.

This deadly enemy will not be intimidated or stopped by Trident. 

Brown continued by saying that the West instead focuses at smaller and less important things such as Ahmed Muhammad and his clock.
