We have been concerned about the effect the Saudi riots or "Day of Rage" as they have been entitled by those who would create the disturbance. As I scanned the news this morning, I find that the Rage is a whimper, at least at the present time. The Saudi government strongly discouraged the riots by taking immediate steps to stomp out any altercations and had religious leaders issue a fatwa against anyone who would cause problems.
It is hoped that the Kingdom will remain in control and that the pressure we have seen from the "democracy" movements will cause the King and his court to continue to increase the freedoms of the Saudi people. Time will tell.
The American Thinker is a great source of information and if you click on the following link you can see what they are saying about the "Day of Rage.
