[WhatInThe]

Saudi Arabia wants to sue a twitter user who criticized an execution in Saudi Arabia. He called the execution Isis like. The individual was accused of abandoning his Muslim faith. It was a Palestinian poet.

I read where Saudi Arabia supports Isis, strange considering they appeared to be more 'enlightened.'

Makes you grateful to live in a country where we can freely post our political opinions...any number of other places even a chirp of disagreement and they might come for you in the night.

I've read and heard the same but that there are others like Jordan at least for passage through their territory. I've also read there is western support. (who buys ISIS oil ?) The idea is so we are to believe, the spread of Sunni orthodoxy against Shiite dominance and Iranian proxies.
