The United States should end foreign aid, weapons sales, and all forms of pandering to Saudi Arabia – a human rights violator and practitioner of violent extremism.
Recently, Saudi Arabia has jailed and tortured a Muslim named Raif Badawi for promoting secularism, and sentenced another man to death for leaving his religion.
Religious minorities are not allowed to openly practice their faith in Saudi Arabia, and women and LGBT communities there continue to be denied human rights. On top of this, Saudi textbooks have brainwashed schoolchildren with religious hatred, making them vulnerable to extremist ideologies and future recruitment by terrorist organizations.
As American taxpayers, we want our government to take a stand against the rulers of Saudi Arabia. Please hold them accountable.
