Arabia
Saudi Prince Mohammed’s religious moderation unlikely to change Asian realities

[ALMASDARNEWS] Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
...Crown Prince of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
 as of 2016....
 may be seeking to revert his kingdom to an unspecified form of moderate Islam but erasing the impact of 40 years of global funding of ultra-conservative, intolerant strands of the faith is unlikely to be eradicated by decree.

#1  ...A valid view. On the other hand, it's amazing how many 'national liberation' movements went away when the Soviets cratered and stopped sending money.

End by decree, no. It will take decades to completely right. But when there is no more funding, and no place to run (a LOT of Islamic monsters regularly beat feet for the KSA when the heat started to come down, that's gone away too), a fair amount of the horror will start to fade into the shadows. I never thought I'd say this about a king of Saudi Arabia, but long life and health to him, and confusion to his enemies.
