'Shielded by petro-dollars, Saudis worse than Syria'

Saudi Arabia may be one of the loudest voices when it comes to criticism of Syria, over what it calls the repression of the people. But it seems it using similar tactics at home - 2 people have reportedly been killed when police opened fire on anti-regime demonstrators. It's not the first time there's been deaths at protests, while many have also found themselves behind bars. For more - I'm joined by political analyst, professor Ibrahim Alloush.

Saudi Arabian religious institutions fund more terrorism than any country in the world.

[neverfearchrisishere]

And the Saudi Regime funds the religious institutions.

[Leopard Fahad]

More than 50000 have been killed by Syrian regime and thousands of Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan by Russia.

The Saudi Regime belongs to the the House of Saud. Who or what is the House of Saud? A Luciferian House?

As for the First Video.It seems that Ethnic cleansing by the FSA reports are supported by people escaping the war zone. I guess the reports of massacres of Christians may hold water. Taking that 10% of Syrians are Christian and are one of the oldest Christian community in the world.They even Still speak Aramaic.And that they All support Assad speaks for itself.They do not want to become Extinct.

You seem not to follow events.Yes at the time Bush even wanted to bomb them.Since then Sheikh Al-Thani and Qatar have come on board and had lost the respect it had in the Arab world.The Anti Israeli is very mild compared to before

As for the Engineers, In Pre War photos they are seen at building sites.Then they get kidnapped and suddenly soldiers.You do not have to be a genius to figure this one out.And the comment."once Iran asked for its people back we knew we captured soldiers" made me smile.

[TantalisingThamina]

I don't know if they are soldiers or engineers, if Al Jazeera is "western controlled" why was it so critical of the US/UK during the Iraq invasion? Why was its HQ in Iraq and Afghanistan bombed by the US/NATO? Why is it so anti-Israel? -_-

[ranlaen]

Hey guess what,I found your Iranian soldiers

"Free Syrian Army says it captured five Iranian soldiers"

watch?v=uL4Qb7CiGqY

I would like you to comment on this Video too.Please note its not from RT but Western controlled al jazeera for that matter.

That's Two videos for us to discuss.
