Saudi Arabia is one of the United States' key allies in that part of the world.

And women in that part of the world are politically and socially oppressed. Many of them willingly so, because the religions founded by Abraham were all misogynistic. And the governments in that part of the world are all, to some degree or another, theocracies. The only reason that women aren't as oppressed in other countries is because we've established secular governments. Our government does not have the authority or power to get rid of theocracies in other parts of the world. All we can do as a people is try to set an example, and to urge those countries to respect all their citizens equally.

ALL of the DC Crime Family has been in bed with the Saudis, regardless of party affiliation!

When are morons going to wake up to the fact that R & D are both wings on the same damn bird!


Now we have Radical Islamic Sympathizer in the WH, and his dingleberry ~ Clinton feels the same way about perverts and Islamic terrorists as he does!

Because the Bible tells her so.

Last month of every year of the Islamic calendar which is lunar so the hajj has been in March in recent years.

Thank you. Learn something new everyday. I will have to look into whether or not in 2011 and 2012 it did fall in March.

Hillary is not as tight with the mideast as Trump. His 'self-funded' campaign was also funded by muslims.

"...That’s because Trump’s real estate and licensing income relies in part on wealthy Muslims, and Muslim-backed businesses, both located in the US and overseas—and particularly on a willingness to pay handsomely for things with the “Trump” name on them. Here’s a look at some of the more prominent deals and partnerships with Muslim individuals, governments, and companies that have buoyed the Trump brand over the years..."

Wealthy Muslims helped Donald Trump build his empire

Do you realize that the Saudi royal family takes residence in Trump tower in NYC?

Mutaib bin Abdulaziz Al Saud currently lives in Trump tower full time and has close business ties with Donald Trump.
