Nothing like being close allies with one of the most despotic, Medieval and backwards societies on planet earth.
Never forget, the USA brings democracy to the world!
With the exception of puppet governments sitting on billions of barrels of oil reserves and disturbing ties to the 9/11 attacks. Those governments we love.
From the UK Independent:
Saudi Arabia has introduced a series of new laws which define atheists as terrorists, according to a report from Human Rights Watch.
In a string of royal decrees and an overarching new piece of legislation to deal with terrorism generally, the Saudi King Abdullah has clamped down on all forms of political dissent and protests that could “harm public order”.
Article one of the new provisions defines terrorism as “calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based”.
Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director of Human Rights Watch, said: “Saudi authorities have never tolerated criticism of their policies, but these recent laws and regulations turn almost any critical expression or independent association into crimes of terrorism.
The organization said the new “terrorism” provisions contain language that prosecutors and judges are already using to prosecute and convict independent activists and peaceful dissidents.
Let’s not forget that just last week Obama was over in the Kingdom cuddling up to these creepy authoritarians.
Our foreign policy is a joke.

Oh, darn. There goes my vacation to Riyadh.
An old cliché comes to mind: ‘With friends like these, who needs enemies?’
If atheists are terrorists, then ‘believers’ must be good! Look up Juhayman
Why?
Obama wants Word War 3

A Islamic Sheikh explains it all
If it takes 80 minutes, it’s probably BS.
Why don’t you sum it up for us?
