I'm sorry.....Arabs needed to be taught to torture? Did you miss the part about with the people on hooks or something?
The average lifespan of a leader during the great Caliphate was like 4 years, before he was offed in some inter-cine coup. I really don't think that anyone there needs any encouragement. Left to their own devices, Islamic leaders and their families seem to do it all just fine if that's the goal.

Yes, quite a credible source quoted from inside the credible source. He was the offficial spokesperson for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Everyone and everything is not credible if it doesn't go your way right
Except Bush, Obama, NATO and other Western officials lol

And just where was that stated? lol,,,
I thought we were talking about Saudi Arabia, not Bush, Obama, etc., have you lost your mind or are you kissing up because Ahmeddinenajad is monitoring your internet connections?
Here is why this is the bad timing.
What will US do, if a coup happens and an anti-US government is formed?
The chance is huge.
US troops and bases are heavily present in Saudi Arabia, so what would US do if an anti-US regime pops up? Will US risk going to another war? This time against Saudi Arabia, what will the consequence of such a war be?

Mohammad bin Nayef is becoming the ruler of Saudi Arabia as he is controlling the most critical sections of the kingdom, an analyst says.
“He is a prince in (the) shadows. Mohammad bin Nayef is now the real king of Saudi Arabia,” Ali al-Ahmed, Director of IGA (Institute for [Persian] Gulf Affairs) said in an interview with Press TV on Monday.
“He is in control of security forces and he has now been basically gaining more control of the country and even he is controlling his father (Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz),” who is currently in charge of the kingdom's affairs, the analyst further explained.

The messenger, The Muslim Brotherhood, is not credible because at one time or another, it has predicted the failure of almost Arab country...Syria, Jordan, Egypt, etc.
And speaking of puppet organizations, said Muslim Brotherhood was encouraged to be established by the British before they left the Arab countries to continue the policy of divide and conquer. A united Arab world was not in their (Brits) best interest.edit on 19-12-2010 by sonjah1 because: (no reason given)
Nope, I'm trying to figure out why the source is not credible?
And how does credibility effect the message?
1. The King is sick.
2. The King's replacement has cancer.
3. A prince warns his family of a popular uprising, or a coupe.
How does any of the above need a credible source?
They are all facts.
Have you lost it?
It is not about the source, but the message. I will keep repeating until people realize.

Imagine that.
An Iranian Government Controlled news outlet spreading possible doom about Saudi Arabia.
If you can't kill the message, kill the messenger lol:

Too bad they have so much oil over there. If they'd didn't we'd be nowhere near the place.

oozy, plain and simple.
Since you seem to be an avid PressTV reader/viewer. When was the last time or first time for that matter that they have said anything critical or revealing about the Iranian Government? If you go to their web page and click on the middle east link you will see that about 60% of the stories they cover are about Israel or the US or both.
They never expose anything about the Iranian Government. It's a front ooz.

If a new person or group takes control of the country with an anti-American agenda (and the vast majority of Saudi-Arabians most likely are), than the US could lose one of their most important oil and geo-political strategic buddies.
I hope it happens.
