Saudi Arabia needs a secular revolution now!

Raif Badawi


Dear Saudi family,
Saudi Arabia could join the good side in the War of Freedom by liberalising the country and freeing its prisoners of conscience now. Otherwise, your kingdom is doomed. Also, Christians, atheists, women, Jews and everybody else must be allowed a public voice. And while you're at it, officially recognise the State of Israel. Also, no more beheadings, thanks very much. And one more thing, let the people enjoy a real drink without fear of retribution. Finally, free Raif Badawi. Do all these things - as well as stop indescriminately bombing Yemen - and we might let you join our War of Freedom team: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-22/explosion-in-eastern-saudi-arabia-kills-hurts-15-activist-says
