Saudi Arabia's execution of 47 'terrorists' in one day including top Shiite cleric triggers wave of protests across Middle East and around the world

Saudi Arabia has executed 47 people convicted of 'terrorism' today, including a prominent Shiite cleric behind anti-government protests, according to the interior ministry.

Shiite Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, a 56-year-old cleric was a driving force of the protests that broke out in 2011 in the Sunni-ruled kingdom's east, where the Shiite minority complains of marginalisation.

Scores of Shi'ite Muslims marched through the Qatif district of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province in protest at the execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr, an eyewitness said.

——None of our business. Let them sort it out.-——

I’m afraid it is whether we like it or not....

Iran has or is working on ICBM capibilities...as well as nuclear weapons....

SA isn’t going to be aiming misses at us or Israel anytime soon, they are content in undermining the US though mosque building...

It's getting hard to tell who the terrorists are these days.

If it is Muslim, most likely they all are of a sort if they practice their so called religion.

"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Don’t answer that.)

“but long term the Kingdom of SA is lesser of two evils...”

That’s like saying Satan is worse than one of his Imps.

The missles Iran is building are for Saudi Arabia first. Saudi Arabia just bough a billion dollars of bombs from us. They will be at war soon. We can pick over the pieces after it is done.

It was the Iran-backed Saudi Hizbollah that attacked us at Khobar towers.
