I like this new Saudi Prince, and I want the western media to get off his back and let him do his job. He's pulling out these crazy radical shaikhs by the root, one by one. He's using religious figures to push for less religionism in his country, those who don't comply are being arrested, and somehow, some of the western media outlets aren't happy about it because it's brutal and against "free-speech".

I say free speech my ass, waiting for that country to find the "light" without such extreme measures is a ridiculous notion. This is what we've been waiting for, I wait for Mohammed Bin Salman to whip some more liberal values into his country. I hope his next assault is on the Burqa, but that dream might bring a religious revolution to his door steps

lmao you are naive my friend. This is only for show because the walls are closing on them as a result of the QATAR fiasco and the blood bath in Yemen. The Sauds rule because of the Wahabi clerics and without them the dictator king and his minions would be out within months. 

I don't think that's the case, Al Saud are probably looking at Sisi and how he's ruling Egypt without the help of religious figures and thought they could do the same.

The Wahabi clerics are hypocritical pussies and they can't speak about anything without getting a greenlight from Al Saud. I am sure the same ones who prohibited women from driving are the same ones who think it's ok to do so now. Unlike their followers, I don't believe for a second that these clerics believe what they preach. If they believed it, they would've already died in Jihad quest against one of their countless enemies. It's the followers and the common people who may have an issue with what Salman is doing right now, those can be shut down, one way or another, until the country is less anal as a whole.
