Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 23, 2015 King Abdullah DEAD SC http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/22/middleeast/saudi-arabia-king-abdullah-dies/index.html WE KNOW! Well maybe you lazy fuckers better put deaths in the Dead of 2015 FIRST where each and every 'celebrity' death qualifies, and this subcategory shite later. I'm not obligated to do a name search. I look in Dead of 2015. It ain't there I'm posting. SC Why do you have to be an ass? I got no problem with a death that big being also posted in the "Dead" thread but it was already being discussed here... way before you posted here......... fucknut "Don't fart outside my trailer and tell me there's a tornado comin'" as you guys might say over there.... I look in Dead of 2015. It ain't there I'm posting. = You Brits gotta learn to do things the American way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imelda 621 Posted January 23, 2015 My first hit of 2015! Couldn't even gloat this morning as my work blocks this as a 'bad taste' website. The cheek! And an interesting article, Crime and punishment: Islamic State vs Saudi Arabia http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/crime-and-punishment-islamic-state-vs-saudi-arabia-1588245666 For those who can't be arsed to click the link, the gist is that they're pretty much the same.

And an interesting article, Crime and punishment: Islamic State vs Saudi Arabia http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/crime-and-punishment-islamic-state-vs-saudi-arabia-1588245666 For those who can't be arsed to click the link, the gist is that they're pretty much the same. Anyone vaguely familiar with the ideology of IS and Saudi Arabia (Wahhabi school of Sunni Islam) can't be very surprised at these findings. Oh well, and there may already be financial links as well: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/31/combat-terror-end-support-saudi-arabia-dictatorships-fundamentalism Btw. I'm very surprised that King Abdullah wasn't on this years official DL. Almost to the point that it feels like a miss now. He was obviously in very poor health and unquestionably notable. And his name is much easier to remember than Bhumibol Adulyadej's… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted January 24, 2015 Financial links? Aye, the West bankrolled Bin Laden for years, and without him no IS. And the Angles certainly are in bed with the Saudis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I need to be more specific. I'll edit my list and add "Governor" before Pat Quinn and "Reverend" before Billy Graham to avoid more confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
