If free speech is a genuine concern here's your cause: Our Saudi allies are flogging a blogger for "insulting Islam". http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30744693 …

Today Western leaders march for "free speech". Tomorrow, they cut deals with those who flog Saudi blogger Raif Badawi for "insulting Islam."

This is a very significant story given the oversized role Twitter plays in Saudi Arabia's public sphere (functioning perhaps as *the* public sphere in the kingdom)—and this breach will likely lead to people being jailed or executed. (If it hasn't already. It probably has). https://twitter.com/Kantrowitz/status/1230217982317449216 …

Turkish flags were at half-staff for Saudi King's death at 90 but not these young victims of one of the biggest acts of terrorism in Turkey?

UK gov't confirms that the cluster bombs it sold to Saudi Arabia have been dropped on Yemen—despite global ban. :-( http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-38364694 …pic.twitter.com/hHb3jwJguQ

Our Saudi allies can jail & flog bloggers for "insulting Islam" and we don't raise a peep. Of course we don't appear credible. We are not.

This is great news! Without Twitter and the ensuing public outcry, she'd have been summarily deported back to Saudi Arabia. It's not the first time I've witnessed Twitter outreach being the only reason a refugee got to exercise the legal right to seek asylum (so often violated). https://twitter.com/MelissaFleming/status/1083811850771484673 …

Great that Trump/Pence is on the watch against creeping Sharia—or we'd be like Saudi Arabia where only male relatives can speak for women. https://twitter.com/christinawilkie/status/787149598108192769 …

"We defend free speech." Meanwhile our Saudi allies flog bloggers and Bahrain which houses US Fifth Fleet jails dissidents for tweets.

The rich Gulf countries (our staunch allies) have taken in zero Syrian. Saudi Arabia keeps beheading people, btw. https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/639403565782540288 …

Top comment on articles on refugees: "Why isn't Saudi paying for any of this." Yes. Ask someone who is buddies with Saudi: US, Europe.

Meanwhile, we don't feed starving children for lack of 20 Juiceros, and work with Saudis to bomb and blockade them. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/857198900465283073 …

Reminder that dissidents in Saudi Arabia can be flogged, tortured, jailed and beheaded. That's the stakes.

Commenters: 1-"Why won't they go to Saudi Arabia." 2-"Refugees want Sharia." Folks, pick one. Also, Saudi is OUR staunch ally, not theirs.

Among other questions, there has been an epidemic of banning of dissident Twitter accounts in Egypt—whose authoritarian government is a Saudi ally—for no discernible reason. This might be one reason. https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1192221107232788480 …

Turkey declared a day of mourning after 91 year old Saudi king died. Gov't should declare one after this blast killed ~100 & wounded 1000s.
