I haven’t heard anything more plausible than the explanation that Saudi Arabia wanted to drown its Iran problem in oil so cheap that Iran would begin losing money. And that, because the USA wasn’t helping out any. It looks like Saudi Arabia is getting its wish and it couldn’t happen to a nicer group of Muslim extremists (Saudi Arabia is “officially” moderate).
I don’t agree nor disagree.
There are plenty of theories and statements about all kinds of things that are more or less plausible. This is one of them.
It’s just that, this thing of “plausibility” of any given theory is more a feeling of comfort that relates to what we know, or think we know, and how well the theory explains what we know or think we know.
For obvious example, the theory of Anthro Global warming is one that gives frickin moonbats warm glowy feelings all over because all at once they feel justified remembering how hot is was last summer along with how much they hate America, pollution, and capitalist society which they believe would be much better off just buying their ipads for them.
All I am saying that we probably don’t know the full story and nobody is exactly rushing to tell us. In the meantime, we naturally substitute in this “plausibility” thing instead of the “fact” thing. Is it fun? Yes!!
Wrong, Saudi is “officially” Sunni and takes marching orders from the Wahabi’s. If it were not for the Wahabi’s, the House of Saud would have lost their heads long ago. The people of KSA still practice crucifixion, until the 1980’s still taught the Earth was flat, have religious police that walk the streets to give a beat down to anyone on a whim, sends girls running out of a burning school without head scarves back in, etc. For those who do not know Islam, Wahabi’s and the rest of the ilk not on every page of our media because it is ISlam, will think the KSA to be “moderate”. There is no such thing as a “moderate” muslim. Never has been and never will be. Just like there is no such thing as: “Islam was hijacked”, “radical muslim”, “extremist muslim” “Radical Islam” “extremist Islam” and/or “Palestinians”. By saying that the KSA is officially “moderate” then you too have capitulated to the West’s PC of Islam. Go do your research before you make benign claims about any Islamic country again. KSA is made of a people who when you say “tribal mentality” are actually tribes because they are originally Bedouin and nomadic.
