Reformation or big phony show? I vote big phony show.

Hmmm..... progress that FReepers will declare impossible

It’s always interesting to watch someone try to ride a tiger, from a safe distance of course.

What was truly interesting was the statement that there was not fundamentalist push back. The young people replacing the fairly young but dying elders have a desire for a better life.

“What was truly interesting was the statement that there was not fundamentalist push back.”

You mean not yet.

...Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is pushing a return to “the tolerant, moderate Islam that is open to the world, to all the religions and traditions of its people”...

And historically when was this? When Jefferson sent the Marines to Tripoli? At the Gates of Vienna?

If true, this is a good thing - a step in the right direction.

[Lonely Bull]

If true, this is a good thing - a step in the right direction.

"If" is an important word.

A “radical” moslem wants to cut your head off.A “moderate” moslem cheers as the radical cuts your head off.

[mabarker1]

“moderate islam” IS A LIE.

RESTART THE CRUSADES AND FINISH THE JOB!!!

[WayneS]

Yes, it is. And I have serious doubts that the odds are even 25/75 that the my statement can ever be made without the “if”.

[rrrod]

Tend to disagree...it’s possible big changes could happen. The new direction is a small step but a positive one.

Yup, and as you can see from some of the following posts, a lot of FReepers are unwilling to give the new King any latitude as he attempts to re-craft SA. As for me, I’m of the opinion that we should help Salman, not throw rocks at him, because as is pointed out in the article the younger generation of Saudis apparently are open to the kind of change Salman is trying to instill.

Radical Islamists are muslims who wants to kill us.

Moderate Islamists are muslims who want the Radical Islamists to kill us.

[upchuck]

The Koran states quite clearly the number one job of Muslims is to kill the Infidel. How can murder be considered moderate?

[jimbug]

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS)

The initials say it all:Muslim Bull Shi**er.

[bmwcyle]

You trust what has funded terrorism for years. They still read their holy book that allows lies to you. I would not be so easy a mark.

[Uncle Miltie]

So we can open a synagogue in Mecca?

Cool!
