Mideast protests rage after Saudi Arabia executes Shia cleric al-Nimr, 46 others

[boutons_deux]

He died on Saturday alongside 46 terrorism convicts. Later that night, in predominantly Shia Iran, Molotov cocktails smashed into the Saudi embassy in Tehran. Protesters shouted as it caught fire. Some went inside and ransacked offices.

Police donned riot gear and arrested 40 people. Embassy staff was not present during the fire attack.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemned al-Nimr's execution in Saudi Arabia, and he also blasted the attack on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and on a Saudi consulate in another Iranian city.

Iran: Saudis face 'divine revenge' for executing al-Nimr

Ayatollah Khamenei described Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr as a "martyr" who acted peacefully.

Protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran late on Saturday, setting fire to the building before being driven back by police.

Several hundred people gathered outside the building again on Sunday afternoon.

The authorities have changed the name of the street on which the Saudi embassy stands, naming it after the executed Sheikh Nimr, :lol

one of 47 people executed for terrorism offences on Saturday.

But Ayatollah Khamenei said the cleric had been executed for his opposition to Saudi Arabia's Sunni rulers.

The Saudi's suck in a lot of ways but they are probably better than the alternative. See Libya.

Whoop-t-do.

He committed crimes there that result in the death penalty.

Word to the wise... Don't commit a crime in a foreign country!

If you wish to make changes over there to your liking, move there.

Otherwise, accept that they are a sovereign nation, and we should respect their cultural differences.

Personally I think we should have left Hussein and Ghadaffi alone. Those animals over there need a bigger meaner animal to control them. They aren't and possible never will be ready for "democracy". I'm just glad the Army in Egypt stepped in before THAT country spun out of control.

did the prosecuting judges cite Sharia law and do you defend their judgment?

why or why not?

[Wild Cobra]

I don't remember what law was cites, Sharia or otherwise. The fact remains, they were legally tried and executed by the Saudi laws. Those executed I bet were not ignorant of the law.

Using our ideals of fairness, is why the middle east is in such bad shape. Believing like you do is why there are so many deaths over there, because we interfere without understand what the aftermath of our actions are.

Their society comes from a very brutal history. Brutality of their leaders is what keep the greater peace over there instead of the anarchy of other brutal killers, or those inciting the murderers to act. When we remove leaders in the name of human rights, look at how much worse it gets when the laws one enforced, no longer are.

[Winehole23]

executing people for political speech is halal in your book?

[Wild Cobra]

Inciting riot over there causes the extremists to act. It is illegal, and has harsh punishment. The people there know it.

I don't agree with their laws, but I try to understand and respect them.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Liberals are so guilty of so many deaths worldwide, with their authoritarian approach to spreading their version of freedom.

In the case of the ME, ignorance will get you killed!

I agree with wine and see exactly the dynamic he is talking about. It's common in people to put their trust in those they deem more intelligent or otherwise capable. You would be one of those at countless trials talking about how you were just following orders. You are a follower of the worst sort.

WC, I'm pretty open minded on the board, but you need to bail - or go back and read your own posts/logic. WineHole is pretty accurate as to what your position appears to be. Bad acts by state actors ought to be condemned; sovereignty be damned.

I'm not a follower of anyone. I simply apply common sense to what is known in this case.

What is you solution to change the Arab and Persian cultures?

Decades ago, we were active in the region, and they were western allies. The leasers were helping to mover their culture to more western ways. The leaders were very oppressive of those wanting to force change back to fundamental ways. carter not only allowed, but helped regime change in Iran and Iraq, for the same claim Hillary and Obama use today. Ever since we involved ourselves trying to impose our principles on them, we made things worse. And we keep repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over.

Why didn't Obomba learn from the past?

Condemning them is one thing. Ousting leaders and getting worse than what you started with is stupidity.

The way you interpret the world is meaningless to me. You follow people all the time and it is quite clear and somewhat comical. That you don't realize it just points out your trolling or really really stupid.

My solution is rejection of all Hadith like their own prophet told them to. Rejection of all dogmatic word of god writings is what I want but rejection of Hadith would undermine the jihadi and sharia theology.
