Saudi Arabia is printing 1.5m copies of an edict by religious scholars outlawing protests in the conservative kingdom as un-Islamic, the state news agency said.
Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter and a major US ally, is an absolute monarchy that does not tolerate any form of public dissent.
It managed to stifle an attempt to stage a mass protest on 11 March with a large security presence on the streets.
Well and Good. Soon we will have more civilians to protect. I assume we will be able to commence the bombing of Saudi Arabia any day now. Yet one more country to assimilate into the global economic and political order. And how convenient that we already have air bases in country. Or perhaps we should finish off Libya first?
