Yeah, this should calm things down over there. Nice people over there in Saudi Arabia, huh? It's nice to have 'Good' Friends' like them. Seriously, if the U.S. really wants to end Islamic Terrorism, it should start focusing on the biggest supporters... 'Good Friends' like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and others.
The brother of a widely revered Shiite Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia says a death sentence against the religious leader has been upheld on appeal.
Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr is a vocal critic of the government and was a central figure in Shiite protests that erupted as part of the Arab Spring. He was found guilty of sedition and other charges and sentenced to death in October last year.
His brother Mohammed al-Nimr said Sunday on Twitter that the sentence was upheld by an appeals court and the Supreme Court.
Saudi King Salman must still sign off on the sentence before it is carried out.
Al-Nimr's case attracted international attention, highlighting limits on free speech in the kingdom and tensions between the Sunni establishment and the Shiite minority.

We've been in the middle east screwing around where we had no business all my life.....'course I'm just 81
and we'll be there another 81 years as long as some moron RW'r can manage to become president and scare his yellow-back minions to death and convince them he or she can protect them and they NEED protecting ...... 9,000 miles from home.
We've been there throughout many years of both Democrat and Republican Presidencies. It's all about that money. We sold our soul to evil nations like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
