My least favourite monarchy

I have been promising a post regarding Islamism and like movements for a time now. Naturally, my thinking in this regard had much to do with the Wahhabists, their second-order iconoclasm, their seeming hatred for culture, and the kingdom they helped found. As that has sat on my to-do pile, The Mad Monarchist has spoken a little about that Saudi monarchy. I recommend looking at it and at the attendant debate better to understand what a monarchy should not be.
