EDITOR – THE United States of America and her ally Britain are weird countries with crazy policies.
I came across something interesting in The Patriot, particularly the USA relationship with Saudi Arabia.
According to Dambudzo Mapuranga, Saudi Arabia stones, flogs and beheads its citizens.
In fact, Mapuranga says Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where beheadings are a legal form of punishment.
They persecute Christians, Shia Muslims and discriminate against women because they are not even allowed to drive.
Yes, it’s insane they are not allowed to drive.
Surely if America and Britain call themselves champions of democracy and leaders in upholding human rights, then why is it that they remain close allies of Saudi Arabia?
They can’t criticise Saudi Arabia because they want their oil and that is the truth.
They will do absolutely anything for oil and that includes ignoring gross human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia.
Isn’t this scandalous?
Are these white people not greedy hypocrites?
It’s actually shocking when you hear them talk about human rights abuses in Zimbabwe that are non-existent and yet they turn a blind eye on Saudi Arabia.
Such double standards by America and Britain leave a lot to be desired.
