Saudi Arabia is a five-decade-old US ally and recepient of American weaponry like the F-16s, for years. They are a threat to Israel and India, by funding terror through oil money in both these countries.

Christian and Hindu expats from the Subcontinent who work in Saudi Arabia are persecuted on a regular basis there.

I fully support nuking Mecca, or at least throwing that damn rock in the middle of the ocean and make them jackasses chase after it.

Not only this, but a few years ago the Saudis demanded that church services in the US consulate in Jiddah be stopped.

Notwithstanding that the US consulate is, by diplomatic agreement, soveriegn US soil, the State Department agreed,
and stopped the services. (Those wishing to worship then had to attend services at the British consulate.)

That was dhimminitude first class.

What other ally do we have that has no free speech, no freedom of religion, no equal rights for women, no guarantee of an attorney if you are arrested, permits slavery, torture, beheading, honor killings, and child-sex?

The US is going to be looking at a knife in it's back if they keep Saudis as allys.

Saudi Arabia has detained 40 Pakistani Christians for holding prayers at a house in the kingdom, where practicising any religion other than Islam is illegal

Isn't there something in the UN charter about countries having to allow religous freedom? Where is Kofi's response? Oh, thats right. He only mouths off when its the USA that he finds irksome or if he is about to be indicted.
