Alright, I won't joke around with you about subject-matter anymore.
You can say whatever you want. I was just amused that I happened to have a set of notes waiting to be made blog-ready that addressed your concern. :o)
Then again, that was excellent if a little too upbeat (personally, I expect Abdullah to be replaced by Captain Nightmare Scenario).
Well, the speaker said when he'd previously talked about Saudi Arabia it was all doom and gloom, but he'd overhauled his talk in the light of recent developments; hence the title.
Given that this comes from you, I was kind of expecting a little more about the basis of the Wahabbin but I guess I'll just have to my usually thing of "think orthodox Sunni and turn it up to 11".
Didn't go to any talks of that nature at Limmud, and, tbh, am not sure there were any. (Most of the talks about Islam were about moderate Islam, given by Muslims, often in a compare-and-contrast interfaith setting.)
