Makes you wonder how hard things are in the only only country in the world with a person's name.

I guess the Arab spring wont be getting to Saudi Arabia anytime soon

Over the weekend, the Times reported that the Saudi royals had secretly agreed to allow Israel to use its airspace to carry out attacks on Iran. Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter and a close United States ally, denied the reports. The newspaper cited an anonymous US defence individual as its source. The Saudi Arabian regime has in the past provided tacit approval to Zionist actions, most recently in Israel’s ill-fated attack on Lebanon in 2006. Hence, the plausibility of such a news report.

However, it’s worth noting Iran’s reaction to the news report, arguing that Israel-US were deliberately trying to create a rift between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

It is indeed strange that such critical, sensitive military information would be allowed to be ‘revealed’ by a so-called anonymous US source. One can’t help but notice that the timing of this information ‘leak’ takes place at the same time as a new Saudi ambassador, Mohammed Ibn Abbas al-Kallabi, starts his tenure in Iran. What better way for the Israel-US to sow suspicion, embarrassment and distrust between the two Muslim countries.

At such times the powerful Saudi clerics remain predictably muted. Rather than question their royal paymaster’s continuing puppet relationship with the US, the clerics spend all their time corrupting and manipulating Islamic principals to suit their own warped interpretation of Islam.

A recent example is the clerics attempt to counter their strict regulations surrounding the segregation of unmarried women from their male colleagues and acquaintances.

Sheikh Al Obeikan, an adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, declared that women could avoid such segregation by providing their breast milk to these men who upon consuming it would become relatives of the women, and thus allowed to socialise with them.

It's truly shameful when learned men rather than confront the serious issues facing the Ummah, focus their energies on circumventing archaic rules that they themselves have decreed in the first place.
