Silicon Valley is awash with Saudi Arabian money

There's an article up on the Brookings Institute's website, which directly addresses all of the Republican/Saudi talking points that you're sharing here.

I think the US generally turns a blind eye to both MB and Saudi atrocities.

I do agree with you on this point. I think the United States's complicity in atrocities committed by the Saudi regime is abhorrent.

I am appalled you think these are “republican/Saudi” talking points. Please don’t get swayed by this sort of propaganda. I never said Jamal was anti secularism. This article you link seems to presenting a very biased take on history.

I am speaking as someone who lived under salafi rule and have a strong dislike of Saudi Arabia. To suggest I am using Saudi talking points is absolutely bizarre, ignorant and uneducated.

Note to self: never call out the extreme close mindedness of certain HN commentators. Even if it directly applies to why you became a refugee.
