He better have the best security there isI'm sure he does. He understand exactly what you stated. There are many rumors about in house attempts on his life.

What happened? Ataturk’s Turkey is becoming Islamist while Saudi Arabia is showing signs of moderation? I’ve seen everything in my lifetime!

Yes. God got bored and decided to switch things around so He lined up his favorite change agents, chuckled, and told the angels watch this!

The incoming Saudi generation is making concrete steps toward changing the place of Sunni mainstream in the world. Iran will be a backwater.They're smart enough to realize that the oil money isn't going to last forever and they'd better start diversifying. This will require them to moderate themselves a bit. And, really, many Saudis were growing tired of the rigid Wahhabist rules that hobbled their day-to-day lives and are welcoming the Crown Prince's reforms.

The interesting thing is that beginning in the 19th century, the House of Saud and the Wahhabi were a symbiotic pair. It lasted through the revolts of 1920s, through the oil boom, and now we have something totally different.

My report differs a bit from what you posted. My cited article says:
“Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud was identified as the mystery buyer in a New York Times report published Wednesday, but is now reported to be a proxy for the crown prince.”

Ran into an Egyptian that works here at Disney last night, had nothing but good things to say about Al-Sisi.

So does Satan.
It’s the Resurrection that is to be believed. But I think that means bye-bye Islam.
