The House of Saud: Fitting Butts for Foul Tongues

You may have heard that I'm a monarchist. A constitutional monarchist. An Anglomonarchist. Even a Christian monarchist. Not a decrepit and thuggishly corrupt, religiously totalitarian monarchist. Not to put too fine a point on making such a necessary distinction.

Which brings me to the House of Saud and the recent death of King Fahd. Not to worry, there's only 7,000 princes waiting in the wings to take over the place. That's 7,000 sugar daddies going about their daily routine of running a medieval theocracy, thwarting freedoms, hoarding the wealth, forbidding political opposition and media criticism, invading homes, violating privacy, detaining and torturing foreigners whenever it damn well pleases.

These are the Taliban in cleaner robes and nicer homes. Non-Muslim worship and proselytizing are strictly prohibited. Christian clerics, if discovered, are arrested, beaten and brutalized, and eventually expelled from the country. "Conversion is apostasy and punishable by death. Although private devotion is theoretically allowed, homes are raided if worshippers gather together. Christians have also been punished for blasphemy", according to a former US State Department official.

Oh, and did I mention the whole country is basically one giant incubator for Islamo-fascist terrorism against the infidel West. That's the proud legacy of the House of Saud. It is one monarchy this monarchist would be more than happy to do without.
