I’m Sure It’ll Blow Over

Or up.

Saudi Arabia executed a prominent Shi’ite Muslim cleric and dozens of al Qaeda members on Saturday, signaling that it would not tolerate attacks, whether by Sunni jihadists or minority Shi’ites, and stirring sectarian anger across the region.
Hundreds of Shi’ite Muslims marched through Qatif district in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province in protest at the execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr, an eyewitness said. They chanted “Down with the Al Saud!”, the name of the ruling Saudi royal family.

Whatever.
I mean, since Islamic terrorists aren’t Islamic, why would Islamists care?

    More information and biblical explanation here:
    “When we tell you that Iran (biblical Elam) will soon wipe Saudi Arabia off the face of the map, you better believe it, Isaiah 21 confirmed it and it will be done. Today Iran’s Ayatullah threatens: “I have no doubt that this pure blood will stain the collar of the House of Saud and wipe them from the pages of history,” says Iran’s Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami. The threat with complete annihilation came as result when King Salman of Saudi Arabia today executed an Ayatullah figure named Nimr Al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia. So like birth pangs, this speeds up the end of Saudi Arabia by the hand of Elam/Iran (Isaiah 21).”

  2. By tomorrow Obama, UN, CNN, CBC, BBC & co, will find a way to blame Netanyahu or Jews in general ….

  3. personally, my approach would be life prison sentences. isolate and silence them.
    if the extremists use it as an excuse to kidnap and demand their release in turn, just keep locking them up.
    if they resort to terrorist bombings, assassinations, *then* ramp it up.
    it’s real, real hard to go the other direction.
    the saudis are fcuked in any event. didn’t somebody blow up that black cube thing in Mecca? their security measures can’t be that good if that happened.

  4. And what is wrong with raw fresh pigskin jackets and staked out in the desert sun.
    Why feed mad bombers?
    Surely the personalized suicide vest and free testing booth would solve their problems.
    Just wait until we are really frightened, then we will get effective.
    Dead people do not kill or rape or take slaves.
    Imprisoned people take up other peoples time and energy and if Gitmo was any example, the sand beggars line up to get in.
    Sort of like these “refugees” what stay and sort out your home country or go where you can collect free stuff for life.

  5. “It’s too bad they can’t both lose” Kissinger, on the other big M.E. dustup…
    and,
    Which side does Trudeau favor? just so I know who shall be arriving in the next few years that’s barely employable.

  6. I think this is going to get all too interesting…
    A similar uprising of the Shia in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province took place some decades back. The King sent in helicopter gunships, and it got very ugly from there. In this day and age, it’s pretty unlikely that a similarly brutal put-down of rebellious Shias would be unnoticed and uncriticized by the world media (or I would like to think so). Still, the King might do it anyway, it’s hard to predict.
    If the Sauds do take harsh action against the Shia, it could pull in Iran, and at that point it could become very, very ugly.

  7. The Arab world is outraged because the Saudi’s cut off 47 terrorists heads that deserved it..
    Obama released terrorist back into the wild, because he is a great humanitarian.
    UK lawyers trying to imprison British soldiers for the wounds of war..

    Terrorist can’t lose, because white people are stupid..

  8. Yeah, Iran & Saudi could take out each other’s oilfields; Keystone might get underway…..hmmm

  9. 47 Muslims executed by Muslims. Its just such a shame a whole bunch more Muslims will start killing each other over this.
    How can we all get on with our lives with a few less Mo’s walking around?

  10. This will be the Iran/Iraq war of the early 1980s. Times 100.
    ***Crosses fingers/heads to supermarket to stock up on popcorn***

  11. Let them have at each other,killing their own will accomplish more than we ever could imagine, this is sure to stir up a hornet’s nest, wish them Godspeed. The impotent UN will take a front row seat and sleep through it all.

  12. The Nobel prize has been bleeding it’s value with some pretty poor choices.
    Ditto the Order of Canada which is a joke, a grand national farce.

  13. Under Obama regional power and foreign policy victories have been piling up – for Iran.
    It seems they’re about to start exercising some of that power due to the danger of Hillary not being able to carry out Obama’s 3rd term.

  14. My only question: IF, and I DO mean if,this turns into a real shootin’ war, from which Country should Canada accept masses of refugees, Saudi Arabia and their Wahhabists, or Iran and their peaceful Shias?
    Personally,I prefer that we let in hundreds of thousands from both Countries to be relocated in suburbs of Toronto,where our Liberal governments can hand them the keys to the Country.
    Just imagine the impact of 3 or 4 million new immigrants on our GDP as we all work to provide housing and X-boxes for them.
    After all, “our Country was built on immigration”, to quote every progressive in Canada.
    I recall a statement from a famous personality from long ago, who said,”of course, you know this means War”! So, go it it my ME brethren.
    Heck.

  15. “Terrorist can’t lose, because white people are stupid..”
    “Terrorists can’t lose, because liberal white people are stupid..”
    Fixed that for you, unfortunately the conservative ideal of compassion has formulated the Darwinian function from the equation and we have allowed liberals to breed beyond their ability fend for, or defend themselves. That’s the point where they call out “Let Tommy do it.” with apologies to Mr. Kipling.

  16. While we are on the subject this puts Obuma in a tight spot, after kissing the Saudi ring and then kissing the Ayatollah’s ‘ring’ which side is he going to back. Should be an interesting in the Operations room in the White House for the next few days. I would like to be a ‘spy-der’ on the wall.

  17. Seems that SA has already broken off diplomatic relations with Iran. Iran is in a far better position should the war between Iran and SA cease to be a proxy war. Closing the straights of Hormuz is something that the Iranians have likely been looking into for decades and this would knock SA oil out of the market. I don’t think the US can do much about it and risks losing a few carriers in the process.
    SA is basically ISIS with an internationally recognized government and the US has totally screwed up in backing wahhabists who are basically illiterate goat herders with billions of dollars.
    On the up side, loss of SA crude would bring back oil sands employment and SA would no longer have the means to fund Canadian terrorist groups to stop the oil sands. Having dealt with lots of Iranians and Saudi’s over the years, there’s nothing dumber than a wahhabist bigot. Iranians are way more intelligent and adaptable. If there’s a shooting war between these two states it will be the end of SA.

  18. got it all covered John. that’s the ‘ramp it up’ part.
    just saying maybe don’t go that route right off the bat by default reflex. that way at the very very least you have the historical record on your side.
    mmmkay?

  19. As would I. But see no significant problem as I’m sure Obama will send Kerry to mediate before all-out war breaks out between Iran and the Saudis. Which will guarantee it will end well. \sarc off

  20. Bongo hasn’t commented because he’s trying to figure out which side he’s on. He just got that Baltic thing sorted out….sorta.
    Now this?

  21. This Washington Post article was just posted online but I am unable to read the entire article. Still, I don’t need the whole article to find this very interesting. I’m waiting for Obama to have a very exciting and demanding exit year.
    Also, I read the news nowadays as if I am reading prophetic portions of the Bible and knew Russia had to figure in somehow, someway.
    Who Lost the Saudis?
    Iran and Russia have an interest in toppling the House of Saud.
    Jan. 3, 2016 5:20 p.m. ET
    That headline question may seem premature, but it’s worth asking if only to reduce the odds that the Saudis are lost as we enter the last perilous year of the Obama Presidency. Iran and Russia have an interest in toppling the House of Saud, and they may be calculating whether President Obama would do anything to stop them.

  22. I’ve been saying all along Saud is keeping oil depressed at great personal financial loss to deprive ISIS (and Iran)of the profit.

  23. I would like to see both side devastated. BUT, SA has a lot of backing, from the likes of Egypt, the Emirates, Kuwait and possibly Turkey. And then there is the fact that Israel has a behind the scene relationship with SA. All these possible supporters of SA would fear Iran as the dominate force in the ME, and all are equipped as good or better than Iran, with mostly American hard ware. Russia is in a poor position to step into this fray as their own Sunni’s would probably engage. Russia is in Syria because of their own “terrorist” problem, and I don’t think they want to expand that problem. This could get very interesting as Israel is the unknown factor here. They have much to lose if Iran wins.
    And Loki, you are right, the Persians are quite reasonable people on average, and would probable be much more “western” friendly, if their religious oppressors were removed, then their Arad counter parts

  24. So the “refugees” we are bringing in are unscreened (except to exclude those non-Moslems who are really in danger). How many are Shia and how many are Sunni – and are they going to bring their war with them? Toronto could go from melting pot to molten pot.

  25. So I guess the big question is, “Who takes over Saudi Arabia from the house of Sa’ud?” Would it be radical Wahabist clerics a la Iranian revolution, or the army which would then play kingmaker or keep power in an Egyptian style junta and possibly, (hopefully) a new Nasser in charge?

  26. So what do we call the white people who let the liberals running the show? Smart?!?! I don’t think so. Maybe stupid on a different scale. We are all stupid.

  27. The clearence for Keystone is already underway. It will be announced after the very Special once in the last Twenty Years, State Dinner for P. M. Just in by his Godfather pOTUS.

  28. If you are REALLY interested in putting a stop to terrorism, don’t just execute the terrorists. If you execute a Shite Terrorist leader, and crowds gather to protest….take out the crowd as well. They exposed themselves….take advantage of their stupidity, and use it as an opportunity to clean house.
    Of course, if you really want to take out a nest ot terrorists and their supporters……you should just take out Saudi Arabia as well; though to be honest, it would really put a damper on the funding of Toronto Mosques to do that.
