WASHINGTON—As criticism mounted over the country’s alleged role in the disappearance and possible death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the Trump administration reportedly urged the leaders of Saudi Arabia Friday to stick to killing random Yemeni civilians. “The potential murder of a high-profile journalist critical of their regime raises grave concerns for us, and we appeal to the leaders of Saudi Arabia to restrict their extrajudicial murders to Yemeni people who don’t have any public platform,” said President Trump, adding that the White House would not sit idly by as the Saudis caused the deaths of innocent people unless they were Yemeni children in a school bus or a group of Yemeni people attending a wedding. “The United States asks Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to content himself with killings that don’t affect business deals or call our diplomatic ties into question, such as airstrikes on Yemeni infrastructure, fueling mass cholera outbreaks, or blocking food and medical supplies from reaching civilians. Look, we don’t even mind if you dismember and murder people inside the Turkish consulate, as long as they’re unknown Yemenis whose deaths won’t cause an international scandal. For the sake of all parties, we demand that the Saudis only kill people who hardly anyone in America cares about.” At press time, several major U.S. newspapers had published editorials praising the Trump administration for its tough stance on Saudi Arabia.

It's all Trumps fault.



He's also the only one kissing up to the Saudis.

Hastur, you should look up Hillary Clinton's eulogy over the previous king of SA.

Love Sarkozy's smirk at Obama, btw. Trump at least sticks to only verbal fawning to the Saudis.

I heard this journalist guy was a big time wahhabi. If it turns out he was killed then no small loss. I also I heard the new king is anti-wahhabi.

Not Wahhabi, MB. First of all, he hasn't been a journalist for quite some time. His latest texts are all opinion pieces. It seems he's gone and associated himself with a bunch of people from the Muslim Brotherhood. The Saudis hate the MB. They were about to launch an organization called Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN). Don't be fooled by the name. The MB loves newspeak. It's probably not about promoting Democracy.

It is weird how everybody is scrambling for women's special victim status. That is what "journalists" are doing when they lament language to the effect that they are enemies of the people (which is very true for many of them), as if their lives are particularly more threatened than anybody else's.

The implicit message is that their lives are more important than the everyday Trump supporters who's victimization by leftist terrorism the media defends and foments.

It's basically the same double standard demanded by liberal women.

They really do argue that saying they are enemies of the people is worse than their encouraging violence and harassment of their political opponents.

“Muslim Brotherhood,” officially known as the Society of the Muslim Brothers, was formed in Egypt by Islamic scholar Hassan al-Banna in 1928. The transnational Sunni Islamist organization aims “to achieve unification” among the Islamic countries and states, particularly among the Arabs and its mission is to liberate them from foreign imperialism.

It believes that Islam is not simply a religion, but a way of life. It advocates a move away from secularism, and a return to the rules of the Islamic Holy Book of “Quran” as a basis for healthy families, communities, and states.

The group has branches in countries across the Middle East and North and East Africa, including Sudan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and etc.

The formation of Muslim Brotherhood movement almost relates back to Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948. In this conflict, the more the Islamic countries failed to counter Israel’s extravagant plans, the more Muslim Brotherhood extended their influence.

Muslim Brotherhood’s rapid growth was actually promoted after Arab armies’ heavy defeat in the war against Israel, a war which began with the slogan of “Arab Nationalism.”

After the collapse of Ottoman Empire (known as the Turkish Empire) and the establishment of “Arab Nationalist Movement,” Muslim Brotherhood dominated the most powerful political thinking in the Sunni world.

“Wahhabism,” a religious movement attributed to Mohammed Abdul Wahhab, was formed in 18th century by the rise of Al-Saud regime which was affected by the sects and doctrines.

Despite the poor quality of its intellectual foundation, Wahhabism was granted political power by Saudi petrodollars and Two Holy Mosques which led to its early consolidation.

“Muslim Brotherhood” and “Wahhabism” as two Salafist groups have many differences mainly in the field of “Government Formatio.” In this regard the CNN’s Ben Wedeman says: “The Wahhabi Salafist is actually based on Takfiri doctrine, while the Muslim Brotherhood adopts political approach and has been formed in response to the social-political situation of the time.”

Within the past 15 years, the political and Sunni Jihadist groups are mainly derived from two roots: Wahhabism and Muslim Brotherhood. On the differences of these two groups, columnist Frida Ghitis also says: “Muslim Brotherhood had no political power over the past 20 years, while Wahhabism — dependent on Saudi petrodollars and political system of Saudi Arabia — gained power in the region, and many Brotherhood groups apparently consider themselves as economically dependent to Wahhabi thinking to meet their economic needs.

Today the Sunni world is mainly divided into two fronts: Qatar, Turkey, and Muslim Brotherhood-related groups in different countries; and on the other hand UAE, Bahrein, Saudi Arabia, Egypt as the representatives of Wahhabism movement.

Was it there FDR gave Abdul Aziz one of his spare wheelchairs while Churchill behaved like a massive colonial overlord cunt?
