Dr. Pipes you conclude your article with: "This issue provides an opportunity for left and right to unite against radical Islam. Who will take the lead to confront Saudi discrimination, arrogance, and repression?"

My take on this is no Western or Eastern government, and left wing " liberals" will take any position let alone take any lead against Saudi Arabia and its repressive Islamic policies. The "keeper" of Islam is not supposed to give in to dhimmi demands!!!

But your position about this topic is timely, and its about time the dhimmi governments of the world assert themselves and do something about it. If they really unite and take a position, may be Saudis will give some token gesture but beyond that nothing will happen. How can Saudis change three of the main pillars of Islam - arrogance, repression and discrimination !!! If they do, the Muslim world would never ever respect them.
