| By cutting ties with Iran, Saudi Arabia executed the 48th terrorist |
| 2016-01-05 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] It was as if Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... executed yet another terrorist when Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir announced the severing of ties with Iran last night. In fact, one could argue that the Iranian regime resembles the single biggest terrorist threat, not just to Saudi Arabia and the region, but to global security as well. Iran -- in a typical manner -- pretended that it was trying to prevent protesters from attacking and setting fire to the Saudi embassy in Tehran, but in reality it did not prevent them (it wouldn't be surprising, or a first, if it turns out that it actually encouraged them as well). Iran also criticized the execution of convicted hate preacher Nimr al-Nimr, who had been described by Saudi authorities as an "instigator of sedition" and was found guilty of seeking "foreign meddling" in the kingdom, among other charges. Through its media and various mouthpieces, Iran made the issue appear sectarian -- because Saudi Arabia is a Sunni state and Nimr was Shiite. Conveniently, Iranian officials avoided mentioning the fact that only 3 of the 47 executed forces of Evil were Shiite. |

| #5 The difference between Iran and Saudi Arabia: When the mullahs leave (and they will eventually), Iran will be a powerful state dedicated to trade. Persians are not barbarians. Saudi Arabia will revert to a lot of sand with camels and their minders. |

| #4 yes grom we should not sell them sheep you know they are demanding all food imports be halal certified which means certification on your and my food also certification means paying money to a certification organisation that uses it to fund mosques and religious schools it also means the exported food must be prepared with islamic rituals - eg boxed beef must be slaughtered by muslim only men the cows must have their throats cut and bleed to death while Islamic prayers are said over it there is no separation of domestic from export meat so when you eat that meat you participate in muslim faith rituals and pay to spread their belief systems so yes we should cut all trade with them until they drop that requirement. let them starve or get it from other islamic nations It is not just Saudi either. indonesia has made this a legal requirement on all food, pharma and cosmetics |

| #1 the US, UK and Australia should cut all ties with Saudi Arabia and Iran As theocratic dictatorships (one with a crust of sleazy royals) we have nothing in common with either of them. we should not sell them weapons we should not buy their oil We should send their embassy staff home in a row boat we should ban their funding of mosques, schools, educational institutions, think tanks, university departments or anything at all. Block and confiscate all their moneys. If we were serious about winning the war on terror that is a start backed up by the declaration of war on the Caliphate (not IS, the Caliphate) and the banning of sharia. All who support sharia should be locked up for treason or - if dual citizens - deported and stripped of Western citizenship. |
