All the recent Saudi kings have been the sons of one man:
Quote:Not only washe the founder of the royal house, Abdulaziz was also the progenitor of it. Marrying more than 20 times and producing around 45 sons, Abdulaziz’s descendants now number in the thousands, although the inner circle of power is considerably smaller. It is from within that elite that the Saudi kings have been chosen, with a crown prince moving into line when a monarch dies.new King Salman (who will doubtles be called a 'reformer' when he dies too, by the BBC) appears to eb the last living son.
One down but how many more of the bastards to go (and some will no doubt be in the literal sense)? And what about the hypocrites from the Western states would are attending the funeral of the deceased head of the Islamic State of Saudi Arabia?
Now the government is flying flags at half-mast for the old bastard:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiarabia/11365375/Government-criticised-for-lowering-flags-along-Whitehall-in-honour-of-King-Abdullah.htmlThis is for the head of an Islamic State which applies sharia "law" in all its ferocity. But then its "our" Islamic State and, besides, has juicy arms deals to offer. What next will they do to get one? Will Cameron allow himself to be buggered by a Saudi prince?
Can anybody think of another country that is named after the ruling monarch's family? It's like calling England, Windsor's Britain….(Or Battenburg Britain)

Bolivia after Simon Bolivar…but plenty of other place names to commemorate rulers and monarchs …but …not quite what we have with the Saud family, is it? Those who do not recognize Saudi rule (particularly the Islamic State) call the nation the "land of Haramayn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia
26th of JanThe first beheadinghttp://www.kentucky.com/2015/01/26/3661681_saudi-arabia-carries-out-first.html?rh=1I do have concerns that it is an American report…after all several of their states exercise capital punishment, one being Tennessee and a quick decapitation appears more humane that some recent executions in America by injection where the prisoner writhed in agony for a fairly long time.
