Your candor is much needed

Thank you Dr. Bakhtiar! Some of these revelations are not completely surprising, after reading Robert Baer's excellent book "Sleeping wit the enemy". This is an article anybody should read ,that is resistant to coming up with alternant fuel sources. Money is the fuel that powers their evil, and the LACK of it will stop it...Please be safe, and continue expose this rot.

SOS - Wahhabism

This is truly the core problem.
Turn Saudi Arabia into a moderate state.
Remove all top religious functionaries.
Reorganize the Saudi police and intelligene agencies as modern enlightened institutions.
All British and USA leaders should apologies to us who failed to deal with Wahhabism correctly.

It would not hurt to remove all Christian, Muslim and Jewish Church/Rabbinate/Ulama leaders at the same time.

Urgently!

Peace Loving Saudi Citizen

Numbers are more reliable and give the truth

One doesn't need neither Alrashed nor Bakhtiar to compare Saudi Arabia to Iran. I would ask Mr Bakhtiar just one question : How many Heads od States and government officals from all over the world have visited Saudi Arabia in 2006 and how many visited Iran. On a scale of 1 to 100, Saudi Arabia will rank 89 and Iran may rank around 7. Equaly how many Saudi officials were welcomed aboroad on formal visits and how many on Iran side. The answer will be disappointing to Mr Bakhtiar. Things will be worse for him if we compare the number of saudi citizens getting tourist and student visas world wide compared to those for Iraninans, desipte there are more Iraninans than Saudis. Mr Abbas is unfairly tried very hard to project Saudi Arabia as Al Qaeda, while he knows that Al Qaeda's purpose is to get rid of Saudi Arabia. Simply said, Saudi Arabia lives in the heart of the world politics and action, while every one knows that Iran has been outside the international community ( except for attempts to export the Mullas radical revolution since 1979 ).
