Abdullah was so old, he could only be seen to rule before time caught him up.

What you're saying sounds like a Russel Brand "don't vote they all the same" kind of argument. Fortunately even theocracies (and nut jobs) come in different flavors and varying degrees of nuttiness.

... Before they took power what is now Saudi Arabia was not a bad place in the grand scheme of things.
This is what happens when magic book thumping illiterate bumpkins take over a country.
Rarely has such as small group fucked up so much of the world and not been waged war upon.

given that Saudi Arabia doesn't even have any pretense at elections or democracy.

King Abdullah recently introduced elections. They're obviously utterly meaningless, but the pretence is very much there.

They certainly haven't bothered pretending elsewhere.

bigotry, hatred and intolerance that means no non-muslim can go to Mecca? Oh yeah, oil! As long as those cunts forbid the practice of the Christian or Jewish faith or LGBT pride parades (neither the former or latter are to my taste), they should be denied access to countries that do tolerate such shit.

It looks odd in a post accusing others of prejudices.

i meant that religious faith was not to my taste and I don't care much for flamboyant parades either. I totally understand why I was misinterpreted, it was an ill expressed rant, barely coherent.

I'm not suggesting that a diseased brain should be a barrier to being a head of state, I'm just saying that I read the Washington Post.

Doesn't the article say the new guy has dementia? So he is litterally a demented dictator? Correct me if I'm wrong because I am a beginner at the reading malarkey...
