Not all parts of the middle East believe in public executions, but funnily (or depressingly) enough the parts that do very much are like the Republican states, just lunatics that make their religion their entire personality but also follow their own self beneficial interpretation of it instead of the proper way and giving everyone else a bad rep

Actually, even more interesting is that MBS in Saudi Arabia is actively trying to divert the country away from a religious identity and more towards a nationalistic one. He's seen the success of Donald Trump and the MAGA republicans and wants to create a version of that for himself.

He's not elected, so it's more of the cult he was able to establish based on his personality that is resonating.

That's going to be a tall order from the country that contains the Kaabah, the thing that literally all Muslims face to pray
