While the U.S. media have been playing deaf, dumb, and blind, as usual, Saudi Arabia is seeing a huge, unprecedented purge from the top. King Salman is planning to step down and pass the power to his designated heir, Mohammed bin Salman (aka MbS). This looks like the culmination of a huge power struggle in SA, which is what happens when the top leaders get old in tribal federations -- which is essentially what Saudi Arabia is.
With the full backing of the King, MbS has been conducting an enormous purge of competing tribal and financial power holders. When MbS takes over, he apparently wants to transform the Saudi economy, and to educate Saudis to live in the modern world.
This is vitally important to Americans, because the Saudi role in 9/11/01 has always been lied about and covered up in the U.S. media, with the open support of the Democrats and even the Bush family. The whole scare campaign of "Islamophobia" has mobilized the left both here and in Europe to attack and discredit any sources of truth about the jihad war.

It's interesting, to say the least, that the New York Times' Thomas Friedman is now publicly asking the Saudis not to be too nasty to the purgees.
Friedman is a jihad-symp, like BH Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary, and all the rest. Friedman seems to be coming out now, because he's part of the "jihad is no big deal" establishment, which has lots of friends on the other side. Friedman also knows that this is an enormous purge, and that because it's not limited to SA; the outcome is still up for grabs.

Yes!
Jihadi backers are purging competitors and making it look like purging jihadi backers.
Instead of 500 backers....they simply lessen the group down to 250 backers.
If Islam is going to be reformed into a real civilization, and not just a death cult, it must come from the inside. Purging the violent and intransigent elements, and cutting off the flow of money to the Jihad warriors, is an interdiction that the West could not possibly do. The gentle Sufi and the somewhat less warlike Alawites, two of the elements of the “peaceful” side of Islam, have been as harshly dealt with as the various other “kafir”, by the fundamentalist Shi’ite extremists and the more militant Sunni Wahhibi cult.
If this is the beginnings of a true reformation of Islam, then by all means, proceed with all deliberate speed.
We are starting to do the same here in this nation starting with our flaming lefties who have enabled this scourge to spread here and abroad.
Wake me when Saudi Arabia decriminalizes conversions to Christianity.
True, taking a highway to Mecca while Christian or Jewish is a felony there.
islam can only be reformed if their satanic war manual (koran) is purged and destroyed.
islam is NOT a religion.
islam is a leftwing totalitarian political system.
‘’’’If Islam is going to be reformed into a real civilization, and not just a death cult, it must come from the inside.

That is about as possible as a ‘true’ socialism. If only it could be applied properly.... That’s only a century of failure.
With islam it is like one and a half millenia.
