Ahmad Bin Abdul Aziz

Al-Saud claim to be the protectors of Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities of Islam. Yet, as we will see in this section, al-Saud have done everything to desecrate the cities with policies and actions that make Islam a mockery as a champion of the needy and the weak. Al-Saud have engaged in a systematic form of breaking the Saudis and Arabs in general into a disciplined flock of sheep while using their propaganda machine and ownership in 95% of Arab media to control the process and project an image of moderation and permissiveness. When you read about how torture of innocent people is carried out in their prisons, you cannot but have revolting and rebellious thoughts about this despotic family in their last act for a play that have lasted too long even by western standards.

See the difference between what al-Saud say and actually do.
