Saudi Arabia may be one of the loudest voices when it comes to criticism of Syria, over what it calls the repression of the people. But it seems it using similar tactics at home - 2 people have reportedly been killed when police opened fire on anti-regime demonstrators. It's not the first time there's been deaths at protests, while many have also found themselves behind bars. For more - I'm joined by political analyst, professor Ibrahim Alloush.

1. This is perhaps mistitled Saudis "worse than Syria", but Saudis are definitely playing with fire

by stoking the Sunni-Shia sectarian violence in Syria. So is the U.S.

KSA is definitely vulnerable to its own destabilization, religious violence, and regime change by similar methods to those that it has been supporting against other countries in the region in concert with covert US intervention.
