“Good is ALWAYS a relative term. Saudi royal family is better than ISIS. Lets hope it stays in their hands”
The problem with the Saudis is that they helped to create the fundamentalist branch of Islam that is destroying their region and radicalizing their religion.
They never intended to create the current situation, but they’re responsible for it just the same. The House of Saud has protected and promoted the Wahhabist sect for centuries now. Initially used an alliance with the Wahhabis to consolidate their power in Arabia and they have kept up their end of the bargain ever since. They’ve promoted that peculiar brand of fundamentalism globally for the last century or so, and it’s been bearing fruit for the last few decades. On the one hand they fight extremism as ruthlessly as anyone, on the other hand they’re building mosques globally which are used to spread the messages of many of the same men who are provoking attacks on them and the west. The regime’s behavior is senseless.
