    The Saudi monarchy, the USA, Israel, and Britain are all on the same team.

    staatsfeindlich yah except she donated a million dollars to Obama’s campaign and refused to donate to Cindy Sheehan simultaneously, citing that she couldn’t be seen as siding with someone politically because of her nonprofit status

    If status quo continues, America is headed the way of Saudi. Theocratic oligarchy tinged with militarism.

    The prince is no different that the former leaders.they have mirrored this same path for over a century. It was king Fissel who first brought cars into the Islamic world then television. Each time they modernize and try to adapt to modern achievement the whahhabist ideaology you have was fighting against .attacking oil fields or workers in there camps just like they did in Riyhad . Only difference is that the regional Islamic countrys didnt practice or believe this ideaology. Today they do . Royal family didnt change Muslim did. The so called Islamic revolution early 60s threw the 70s radically poisoned the minds of muslims. This channel reports like whahhabist. IBN WHAHBI would be so happy to see his movement spread around the Muslim world.he would be a reporter on this channel .
