If islam is so merciful why does it condone the appalling human rights violations in islamic Saudi arabia?

Saudi Arabia has been an ally for decades. And yes, it's because of the oil.

To be fair there are some people and groups that fund terrorism from Saudi Arabia but they do not represent the government. That is like saying the Mexican government is a drug cartel.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
