What is 'dab'?

The dab is a hiphop dance pose. Xeno is being facetious and sarcastic.

It's also a way to snort cocaine lol

[Al-Ismailiyya]

Nah, m8. You have no rights. The government's power should be absolute.

*dab*

This is a dab. He's just being facetious.

Or the term for smoking hash oil

So, it's just coincidence, if such group is, for example, Salafist, too?

Middle Eastern politics are just bloody.

Christianity only became a tame religion with the Peace of Westphalia. A similar arrangement in the Middle East would probably fix things.

Isn't that the one that stated that the religion of the ruler determined the religion of the state?

Yes, and that other rulers had no business interfering or funding different sects within one's state. Which I think is entirely fine, since a state religion does not necessitate purging those of another faith, it just means they can receive no foreign support from their coreligionists if they engage in treason.

Well, that's not gonna happen lol. The Saudis are going to keep funding Salafists. The Iranians are going to keep funding Shia.

Yep, and that is how Europe rolled too until the Thirty Years War made everyone sick of that, and it was ended by the Peace of Westphalia. Westphalian sovereignty is the only fix for the Middle East, but it is not likely to occur soon, because neocons continuously subvert it in the Middle East. Paleocons like myself, however, see Westphalian sovereignty as something we should accept in our foreign policy.

Yup. The dance move is illegal in the KSA because of its drug connotations lol.

I saw it on the news about someone who killed someone else. He called/texted his friend asking if he wanted get some cocaine and do some dabs.

[Albrenia]

Back in my day 'dabbing' used to be gently applying a cloth coated with a cream, or moisture.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

So, dabbing is banned in Saudi Arabia?

What do you think about Saudi Arabia and their new reformations program, like cinema being allowed, and women being allowed to driving, basically diversifying economy and allowing more women's rights?

I really hope that it is genuine and not just good boy politics by MBS.

Slowly making their way to the 1800's I see. Progress.

What are you doing here, Geni? A Muslim as well, like the rest of us? It's great to see one more.

I thought it was about weed. I don't smoke/snort so I wouldn't be super familiar.

I find it dumb. He's doing it in a non-Islamic way and is just trying to cuck to the west. Following a different madhab and not the borderline takfiri Salafi sect would allow for the same benefits without kneeling to the west and being a cuck. It's achieving good things but is done in a dumb way. Plus its MBS so I dislike it.

I'm pretty fine with it, though I can guess because this is, after all, the House of Saud, its all just a bunch of political maneuvering.

Then again, it is really needed. Oil price is not going up in near future, at least that's what we know. Meaning sooner or later Saudi Arabia needs to find a solution for diversification of economy, since reliance on oil is never the best idea. Also, he's trying to curb the conservative faction within Saudi Arabia since they are not in the line with his modernism and reform mindset.

Also, what's MBS?

I like the economic diversification. That's definitely needed.

MBS = Mohamed bin Salman

Ah, okay.

Yes, it is definitely needed, especially for oil producer. Venezuela was a failed nation partially because their overreliance with Oil. Let's hope Saudi not going that way and also able to erase their image as "Terrorist backers", since that kind of image disrupted their investment potentials as well.

To be fair, the weakening of the Saudi regime is a good thing if it can result in better people taking power.
