The murder of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr by the Saudi Government is abhorrent to any civilized person. This was a man who preached non-violence and was calling for equal rights for the Shiite minority in Saudi Arabia and asking the Dictatorship in Saudi Arabia to be reformed. Like most Dictatorships they restored to murder of the Cleric and tried portray it as an execution of a "terrorist". Peacefully protesting against a repressive, uncivilized government is NOT an act of terrorism. The United States Government need to stand on the side of the angels and formally protest this action.
