    Nope. I know the Saudis and lived there for several decades .. so I have followed what they say and what they do for 60 years.

    You do realize Saudi Arabia is one of the main sponsors of international hatred and terrorism in the world?

    i do think that house of saud doesn't understand it, they think that double standards (not polygamy, and undemocratic form of governance) turn Muslims into terrorists

    No, it is a well-established fact. But facts don't really interest you I guess.

    It is not a "well-established" fact.. There is not a shred of evidence for that claim.

    The pundits.. none of whom know much about Arabia or have ever been to Arabia.. quote each other.. Its laughable.

    Saudi Arabia has no ambitions in Iran.. NONE.. Its Iran that wants to dominate Mecca, Medina and the Arabian Peninsula.

    You must be pretty old then. You do realize Saudi Arabia was created when the Saudi's waged holy war against the Hashemites to drive them out of the Hejaz in order to spread the most intolerant and violent brand of Islam?

    It was the West's imposition of arbitrary boundaries where none previously existed which is the root of all our issues with the region.

    I lived around Wahhabis for two decades.. How about YOU?

    The Emir of Mecca was selling out land in Arabia to the Zionists for thrones in Jordan, Syria and Iraq.. He was also mentally ill.. When he proclaimed himself Caliph, Ibn Saud chased him off the Arabian Peninsula two weeks later.

    I am pretty old.. I remember Ibn Saud well.

    I've had dealings with the Saudi government in the past, but only infrequently.

    What you write actually says a lot about you and explains a lot.

    still KSA can harm only corrupt , and poor Muslim countries /communities , they dont act like Putin in Crimea , KSA uses bribes , money (/soft power), and stupidity of the ineffective governments. actually, i don't know why they invest in wahhabism so much money , whats a goal....
