Oh dear.

Sunni are the bad guys in Syria, but are in government Saudi. When will the West start bombing Saudi?

Haha indeed.

Never, I reckon. But if they did, then at least they'd have the inside track on the weapons that would be firing back.

Ignoring Syria and Saudi Arabia, you do realise that not all Sunni Muslims are 'bad guys'? Or do you think we should be bombing Turkey too?

Where did I say all Sunnis are bad? In Syria, Daesh emerged from Sunni militants. In Saudi the Sunni Government has just beheaded 47 'terrorists' the majority were Sunnis linked to al Qaeda. It is creating more tension along sectarian lines as witnessed by the Shi'ite demonstrations.

I really wish we could have nothing at all to do with Saudi Arabia.

It sickens me to think that we consider them to be a strong ally.

One of the most evil and repressive governments in the world.

This execution, executions in fact, seems a pretty calculated move by the Saudis.

At a time when the Iranian Governement had found some common ground with the west and the nuclear deal (which the Saudis opposed) has been signed and there was renewed hope of getting the international and regional powers round the table regarding Syria they decide now is a good time to execute a man they alread had locked up for some time.

A deliberate and provocative move designed to stoke up tension in the region and, successfully it seems, inflate the oil price.
