[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah,. khashoggi was pretty much actively conspiring against the regime ( and if you want to make any kind of political movement there you have to conspire - there's no free speech) but to what end? The fact that he supported Islamic brotherhood, has a fan in Erdogan who has set turkey back to pre Atatürk days etc doesn't make me think he was a democratic visionary. MBS needs to go, we need a partner in SA, who continues their slow plodding and cynical reforms without butchering people, what happened to Khashoggi was deeply wrong, it did call attention to some things that may gain traction in a favourable way, but we do not need a street named after him.[/quote]

[quote]In recent days, stories have appeared highlighting Jamal Khashoggi’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and arguing, as one put it, that “in truth, Khashoggi never had much time for western-style pluralistic democracy…for Khashoggi, secularism was the enemy.” [b]Amplified by pro-Saudi social media and echoed by right-wing commentators [/b]in the United States, the subtext of these stories seems to be that the United States should be cautious in championing Khashoggi’s cause, because he was less of a liberal voice than he seemed. At the more extreme edge of this media campaign, there’s the implication that Khashoggi was an extremist and that those who condemn his apparent murder are serving an Iranian agenda to break up the U.S.-Saudi alliance.
