I guess Salman has sort of been running things for a while already..
I know nothing about him; Do any of you guy have any ideas if the status quo will continue, or if maybe Salman might try to change some stuff, and if so, what direction those changes may go?

Wow. That’s what passes for a reformer in Saudi Arabia.

"I thought I read something about Salman starting to get dementia. Anyone?" How would one tell the difference between that and ordinary muslim mental process?
Sorry, I just had to snark.
To: huldah1776
Anyone know anything about his successor?The liberal press will be telling us what a moderate he is, even if he isn't.
