issue, I thought you would be pleased about his recent comments about giving women equal rights and not having to wear a covering.
tsk tsk, theres no pleasing some people.
So you believe a few relatively minor concessions to 21st century social progress somehow absolves the House of Saud of its protection of the Wahhabs, who would destroy the West, and its social progress, if they got the chance? You do know what I am talking about, but you prefer to try to score a few grubby points on an internet forum. You are so shallow.
And I see you have adopted Ross's effeminate "tsk tsk." Did you think I would count that as original repartee?
Of course, the Trump-Saud and Bush-Saud oil relationship, and its effect on the Environment, is of no importance to you as the "teachings" of the Prophet are not included.
We'll have to see how much progress this prince actually makes. For now though, he is causing quite a stir within the kingdom, even with these "minor concessions". What do you think would happen if he just went hell for leather changing everything at once. I think his life expectancy would drop significantly, and the kingdom would like regress to an even worse level its at now. That wouldn't be much use would it? Slowly slowly has to be the way, and I think we should give credit where credits due.
But yes, you are right, the proselytizing of wahabi and jihadist ideology remains a significant problem for world security - and is absolutely compounded by the US's hypocricy on this matter. You won't get any argument from me on that front. Which is why I get encouragement from seeing movers and shakers like this prince who wants to curb all that. Even just a little.
