The deradicalisation of the Saudi version of Islam, which dates back at least as far as the 2019 Makka Declaration, appears to be continuing.
Some of those examples are truly vile. I doubt Saudi Arabia is the only country in the region which teaches open hatred for Jews, Christians, gays, etc. And enshrines Islamism in its curriculum.
To me this just underlines how so much of the violence in the Middle East can be traced to deliberate state and family choices to openly instill hatred in the next generation. No wonder the region is such fertile ground for the likes of ISIS. I shudder to think what would happen if the Saudi monarchy ever collapsed. As evil as it is, the result of its absence would likely be a bloodletting of truly unprecedented scope.
Mr Bonesaw doing a great job? I feel conflicted.
The SA foreign minister gave a really scathing criticism of Israel a couple days ago. Does this indicate potential shift in policy away from normalization?
