Is Saudi Arabia ISIS ?
Saudi Arabia vowed to sue those who compare their country to ISIS, of course the Streisand effect took place and now more wonder, what is the real difference between the two ?
A Reddit user decided to create the SaudiArabiaIsISIS.com (the website is currently down, no DNS), with some infographics and humour. It also led to a subreddit making the comparison.
Since, there are other sites popping up, like SaudiarAbiaIsBasicallyISIS.com, the twitter hashtag #SaudiArabiaIsISIS is trending too.
Don't let those internet trolls fool you, get down with some more factual stuff... like:
- Saudi Arabia: Shi'a activists and juvenile offenders among 50 set to be executed
- Fellow poets protest Saudi death sentence facing Ashraf Fayadh
- Saudi Arabia executes five Yemenis and displays corpses
In the end, I don't know what's worse, the fact that Saudi Arabia does such things, or that "we" are allies. In any case, comparisons will be made, right, wrong or even offensive.
