That's why the Saudi princes have lots of nice toys and get away with sex before marriage. Then they have to hand lots of money to pseudo charities around the world in order to keep their Wahaabi-Salafi allies in check.
No one deserves to be hurt based solely on their religion, and I scorn anyone who does that, whether they're from another religion or irreligious.
Al-saud uses DAESH as a tool to beat Shia and Kaffir with and the Americans obviously know this but do nothing. Hilary could have used her extensive "foreign policy experience" to stop this madness. Instead she's happy to take the money they offer for all those fabulous speeches.
