Moslems killing different Moslems for being, well, different. Good job. Now, Iran will retaliate by killing Sunnis. Oh, wait, they already did centuries earlier when they wiped out previous Sunni converts, there by wiping out all “Persian” male bloodlines.

When I started my MBA my plan was to study Saudi Arabia and then apply for one of my company’s positions there. I wrote several papers on Saudi Arabia. The clue it wasn’t for me was when a job came open and I felt compelled to research my emergency exit should things go badly. The reason? There were so many ways that things could go badly (prison or death.) I decided there was no way I’d go there, ever.

Back to the cleric’s execution. The Saudi government is fragile. They stay in power by buying off the populace and maintaining a state police that would make the Gestapo seem like Andy Griffith. The cleric was acting like what Obama would call a community organizer and organizing protests. The government, rightly, sees this as fomenting revolution and overthrow. They can’t allow anything like what here is considered a normal occurrence. A protest of any sort is as threatening to the Saudi royal family as a loaded gun.

From another point of view, though, the cleric certainly realized he was essentially committing suicide. The government took something like four years before they executed him. Most likely this was to allow him to disappear from the public eye so his eventual death wouldn’t draw too much attention. I’m sure the other dictators in the world are giving it two thumbs up and a hearty-well played.-

An active war of Iran against Saudi Arabia would make Chevron and Exxon excellent investments.

I hope they sewed Nimr al-Nimr up in a pig’s skin before they executed him.

Increased prices for oil do not equate necessarily to increased profits.

Moslems killing different Moslems for being, well, different.

A Future History Of The World Dominated By The Death Cult Known As Islam

STEP 1
Muslims gradually kill off all the Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Confucianists, Hindus and other non-Islamic religionists.

STEP 2
Muslims kill off all atheists.

STEP 3
Muslim sects war with each other until only one sect remains

STEP 4
Muslims kill off other muslims with whom they do not agree.

STEP 5
Muslims kill off other muslims that are not family relations.

STEP 6
Muslims kill off all relatives except their immediate family.

STEP 7
The remaining muslim family members kill each other off until there are only two left alive.

STEP 8
The remaing two muslims plot against each other until one finally kills the other.

STEP 9
The remaining muslim notices that the animals are still alive.

STEP 10
He sharpens up his ax and walks over to his pet goat.

So, what can we do or say that will help re-escalate this traditional arch-rivalry into another full-blown shooting war?

The soddies will probably need a lot of expensive military gear, aircraft, tanks etc, we should be ready with the order books.

Upon nearing the pet goat, he is seduced by it; so, according to the sayings of the Profit Muhammad, the pet goat must be killed after the consummation.

They’re already furious at the Mina stampede. One year from now things on the Arabian Peninsula may look a lot different.
