There seems to be little crit( sic) of the Saudis if you read the Beano and the Sport. There is plenty elsewhere. |

I don't read comics. There doesn't seem to be a popular consensus among the guardian readers that is as Indignant and vociferous as there was against apartheid. The Saudis seem to be getting away with it. |

I dont know what you are on about. Are you saying that because you cannot detect a strong crit( sic) among Guardian readers it means there is little crit(sic) everywhere? |

I do,he's asking why a reputable paper like the Guardian lacks any real condemnation of The Kingdom. It's a perfectly valid question |

It would have been if he had actually asked this in the OP .Maybe you should have read it. |

Perhaps actually read the grauniad before casting aspersions, a rag it is but it has sharply criticised Saudi. Most papers have..I love the way our **** government ignores any sensible ideas wrt to tackling the problem. |

Well, Saudi is a theocracy. Any criticism of Saudi would - inevitably - involve criticising their religion. The Guardianista's couldn't cope with that. |

As usual you have no idea what you are talking about. No sensible person upholds Wahhabism of any kind, most Muslims reject extreme Wahhabism. Don't let that stop you. |

Selective morals are us. Not a criticism. Just the way we are. |

Not necessarily. More like moral overload. Humans may not be the cosmopolitan being that we think we are.Maybe our morals belong to a more parochial environment. |

I don't think we are more than we are. A moral overload implies we have some sort of moral base to begin with. |

Of course we have a moral base. It absurd to think otherwise. Morality..a particular system of values and principles of conduct.. |

Perhaps you might check the forum or even Guardian search engine before posting false stories Saudi is regularly criticised here and in the Guardian. For example just last week: Link |

We have morals when it suits us and drop them when it doesn't. |

I must agree with the OP. Making the odd negative observation of SA isn't the same as condemning its existence as an oppressive and abusive regime. Nor does it appear on the 'axis of evil' list that has been created. |

" Nor does it appear on the 'axis of evil' list that has been created." I wonder why, could it have anything to do with dosh? At least, the apparently much hated Micheal Gove had the balls to speak his own mind. Edited by Rich, Dec 16 2015, 11:00 PM.
