  • What About Chinese Ughairs , Rohingyas & Yemen People etc... He also remains Silent on Saudi Government Extreme Modernization Policies , Kashoggi Killing, Including Other Saudi Imaam's , Scholars & Protesters Detention
    & Imprisonment . He Remains Silent on Clandestine Saudi & Israeli Coroboration as Well :-(

    • There is a reason why he didn't speak about Kashoggi's killing, because it was Political. He doesn't get involved in something that is Political, and i think that's more sensible.
