The people ruling Saudi Arabia are not even following islam!!! every muslim with enough knowledge on islam knows that there is no muslim rulers in the muslim countries. All those rulers are corrupted and this guy of course he doesnt or pretends to know nothing. Those rulers were put there with the US help, none of them were elected according to the islamic methodology!!

They keep talkin about Iran who is a shia country which is a deviant sect of Islam.

The god of Muslims is revealed as a tyrant who demands Muslims and all others submit to him. Have you ever wondered why even the word “love” is conspicuously missing from the Quran? Mindless religion is a cancer on the Human race and should be abandoned by all ethical, reasonable, and intelligent Humans as soon as possible....religious have no sense of humor. It has also taught us that the religious will kill you for having an opinion that varies from theirs

ex-muslim young proud atheist!

It is sad to see so much ignorance here.  All religions can be interpreted in positive ways by positive people or negatively by negative ppl. Islam has the potential to uplift people or oppress people. But so does Christianity, Judaism even Buddhism. What is important is to see through the deception of the most radical elements such as the often corrupt ulama, who often uphold the most oppressive elements of religion, allowing them to control their followers. This is in contrast to the people

@nadialejandra When Middle East affairs attack the hearts of Americans do not blink twice because we will respond. You are not innocent, the oppression you live under is self made. Your leaders will blame everyone but themselves to distract you so they can keep their power. If want a better life you have to take it upon yourself to create it. That what Americans did when they too had British invaders.

[nadialejandra]

@iMaDeMoN2012 Yes muslims should be blame for not having expeled the british centuries ago and now for not killin the western agents in "islamic" disguise

[iMaDeMoN2012]

@ronaldog35 Islam is Islam is Islam

[iMaDeMoN2012]

@nadialejandra Muslims are responsible for Muslim affairs. Grow up stop blaming the America for your totalitarian regimes. One more thing, it doesn't matter if Saudi don't follow your Islam; they believe what they do is Islam. If you love freedom or at least you love your Islam you should do something about it and stop blaming others.

@nadialejandra : In the West, people are free to do whatever. Even corruption is a personal choice. We have lobbyists with their own agenda. (I'm Cdn BTW). So we are bound to get highs and lows in our economy while inventing leading edge technology for you!

You are missing the point here. Muslims are stuck and have not done any good in the world except sitting on crude oil which is extracted, transported and refined by our technology. Do you get it or your IQ is so low to be raised any further.
