Well the people highlighted here
Were responsible for the Qaida attacks in the last ten years including the attack on the American consulate.
The convicts belong to AL Qaida, Muslim Brotherhood and Hezboloah (Arabian Peninsula branch)
The so called head of the UN Human rights council executed multiple detainess, chief among them Shia pro democracy protesters.

Sheikh Nimr and his followers were detainers after they led a series of protests in the Shia regions of Qatif and Ihasaa. Multiple NGO's called for his release to no avail.
The statement does not describe the means of execution, tho Sheikh Nimr's was sentenced to be beheaded and crucified. Friends are telling me that the KSA authorities are sending in tanks to Qatif trying to preempt any protests.
Iran will most likely retaliate in Syria or Yemen.
These are your allies against terror US government, fucking disgusting. One day, just like Saddam, the ruling Saudi lunatics will share his fate.

I know, but that thread is trying to justify the massacre.

So rather than rebut those points it's easier to create a new topic where you can argue from a position of strength?
Yeah, I mean, what exactly is trying to be accomplished here? OP didn't like the other thread's tone, so now they want a seperate thread where the tone is more preferable to their own taste?
So were they or weren't they linked to terrorist acts between 2003-2006?I know, but that thread is trying to justify the massacre.

"terrorists"
Woah, was in the other thread just created. Guess the merge happened. So mods, now that I know you're here, can you update the title to include the fact that top Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was among the terrorists executed?
It's kinda a big fucking deal on the global stage. And it'll make the future threads created on the resulting fallout clearer to understand because Iran is not going to take this lightly.
Middle East tribalism just got a kick in the pants with this one.

I read it. Just was posing the question to Sijil before his thread was merged here.

Most are not atypically religious. In fact, most aren't even religious at all. There are powerful tribes in Saudi that ensure the status quo.

On the bright side (if it can be even called one), Ali al-Nimr remains alive for the time being.
Done
Many thanks.
For those not in the know, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was an Arab spring, pro democracy Shia cleric. He's also the uncle of Ali Mohammed al-Nimr, that 17 year old kid who was sentenced to be beheaded and crucified a few months ago. For a GAF thread on him, see below:
Meet Ali Mohammed al-Nimr - The man SA plans to behead and crucify
Now, here's an IBT article about Sheikh Nimr's death and why it's a big deal as the OP is kinda scarce on commentary and details:
Who Is Sheikh Nimr Al-Nimr? Saudi Arabia Executes Top Shiite Cleric, 46 Others On Terrorism Charges
So yeah, very probable that shit is going to pop off in Saudi Arabia with Shia/Sunni populations. I guarantee you Saudi's western "allies" are extremely pissed, but obviously not as pissed off as Iran and its allies.
New year, same old shit.

There is a top Sunni cleric that made ISIS angry,
The majority of the people who executed were Sunni who killed and bombed Shia's mosques
focusing on one and leaving the other means pushing an agenda.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia didn't differentiate between terrorist all caused harm to both Sunnis and Shia's who are living in Saudi Arabia.

How about nobody executes nobody and the people who want to be close to the West lead by example.

Can somebody answer me why, where Saudi Arabia:
- commits political executions
- use abhorrent methods of torture and execution such as crucifixion
- have a medieval human and gender rights record
- where 15 of 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi
- where bin Laden was Saudi
- where the National Commercial Bank effectively funded anti-Western terror groups
That they still get away with it.
If this was another nation, such as Libya, Iraq or Syria, it would have been bombed by the US to the stone ages by now. If it was what the US perceives as an unfriendly nation, such as Russia or the PRC, the press and politicians would be screaming by now.
So, why do the Sauds get away with this?

The first three are lip service to Wahhabism in order to stop the clerics and a plurality of the general populace fomenting insurrection. The last three are because dinosaurs died underneath the ground there millions of years ago and that's what your car uses for food.
The Wests treatment of Saudi Arabia is the epitome of hypocrisy and something needs to change. Saudi without a doubt is one of the most backward countries around even more so than some the countries that have been 'libirated' in the last decade or so.
One of the biggest WTF moments of the year has to be appointing a Saudi as the head of the UN human rights council, this totally makes the entire council a joke.
Executions like this and other atrocities will continue until the West wakes up. With oil prices collapsing, it would be a good time to make a change.

Aha. The gif answers all, as usual.

The West doesn't need to wake up. It's well aware of and entirely complicit in, if not the root cause of, the subjugation of non-majority sects in middle eastern countries. While oil is a de facto requirement of a Western economy there will be Western countries that value stability above all other factors.
And that's just the cynical view of the situation. If there was a civil war in Saudi Arabia it would make Syria look like a friendly tea party. There would be no end to the human misery that would come with the sectarian violence in that one. Nobody in the world wants that power keg to explode and the KSA knows it.

They're a large enough cog in the global economy that no body with any authority will actually step in and sanction leaders or the nation itself. The "they were the good guys in First Gulf War" has a lasting global narrative, too.
You've seen relations with the US sour dramatically under Obama, though. He knows the deal. The same trend is there with Israel, too. Hell, Obama managed to dig up so much of our own freaking oil that the Saudis are throwing a tantrum and attempting to bankrupt their own allies just to try to prove a point. We're not going to start to come down on Saudi Arabia for the kind of crap they pull (probably), but getting a cold shoulder from the US is a bigger insult to them than any international condemnations could ever be. Every time you see the price of oil drop even further, that's the yandere Saudis screaming "please notice me, Senpai!" at the US.

Those look suspiciously like armored vehicles provided by Germany.
Merkel's schizophreny knows no boundaries.
Wow super fail.... I knew that. smh
I find it funny how you are lumping al-Nimr in with actual terrorists who were executed, it's kind of ridiculous and I'm surprised why the only person actually challenging you on it was banned.
Let's be honest, al-Nimr was not a terrorist in any definition except the Saudi's perverted definition of it(the same definition Assad used as a pretext to put down protests), he was a pro-democracy anti-government protestor, a political prisoner and was executed for essentially calling for democracy in the kingdom and for more rights for Shias.

Al Nimr was planning an armed Miltia ala Hezboloah,
Go back to the old news stories and see how many policeman died trying to capture him.
An armed opposition is unacceptable in any country otherwise this country will turn into a joke
Who were Nimr al Nimr and Faris al Shuwail

Is your source Salman bin Abdulaziz by any chance?
Saudi Arabia, a country known for its unfair trials and false allegations, is definitely not going to convict a political opponent on false charges /s
Sorry, I'm going to take the word of HRW over yours any day:
https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/10/16/saudi-arabia-prominent-shia-cleric-sentenced-death
Let's mix this in with the fact that there is a Systematic Discrimination and Hostility toward Saudi Shia Citizens and the actual reasons for his execution start becoming clear.
Saudi Arabia is already the biggest joke in the world, right up there with North Korea.
Might as well be posting RT or PressTV articles in response. Al Arabiya is a Saudi propaganda mouthpiece in the same vein as RT and PressTV.
Their whole idea of executing him with real terrorists is so that he gets treated as another terrorist by the likes of you apparently.
Tbh, you should stop trying so hard. It's pretty pathetic since you're linking Al-Arabiya in here.
These are the same cunts planning to execute his nephew for protesting them, so excuse me if I refuse to believe anything these bastards say.

Actually Al Nimr was calling for open conflict with Al Sauds and said his loyalty was with Iran. Saudi Arabian government is fucked up for executing him. But it is what it is. Tweets from Kirk H. Sowell below:
Most likely has already been stated but it's very simple...oil.
