Holy shit, Saudi Crown Prince, fresh off of imprisoning people threatening female drivers, announces major sea change:
Riyadh (AFP) - Powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pledged a "moderate, open" Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, breaking with ultra-conservative clerics in favour of an image catering to foreign investors and Saudi youth.

"We are returning to what we were before -- a country of moderate Islam that is open to all religions and to the world," he said at an economic forum in Riyadh.

"We will not spend the next 30 years of our lives dealing with destructive ideas. We will destroy them today," he added.

"We will end extremism very soon."

The crown prince's statement is the most direct attack by a Saudi official on the Gulf country's influential conservative religious circles, who have for decades wielded influence on policy.

Words are cheap. We'll judge these trees from their fruits.

Is this going to go as well as Trump saying he will drain the swamp, return law and order, build the wall, repeal and replace ACA etc.?

There is no rehabilitating these savages in to modern life.

I thought you’d said there is no such thing as moderate islam

Not in SA, and not while their clerics are pushing radicalized Islam! This is either a sincere sea change or (more likely) a deceptive ploy to fool the West into averting our eyes from their plot.

Vision 2030 is more interesting. The question is, why are they trying to diversify away from oil?

sending the wife out to the liquor store for a case of Hamms and a fifth of Jack.


When I lived in the Emerites the busiest store in all of Umm al-Quwain was the liquor store. Which had no markings of any kind. Lots of Mercedes with dark tinted windows (only emiratie citizens are allowed dark tint) coming and going. I'm sure they were only buying for their house staff, not themselves.

This is easily understood once the burkas come off
