He is pointing out three traits: homosexual, murderer and zionist. Nowhere did he imply that they are causally related.
Personally, I would leave the homosexual and zionist angles alone. The former is a personal choice and not relevant to the broader discussion. The latter only serves to distract from the main theme, which is that the Saudi royals are inimical to Muslim interests.
The big tragedy is that the Saudi royals are perceived as guardians or representatives of Islam. Leaving aside the domestic disaster where medieval barbarity masquerades as "Islamic culture", the biggest farce is the illusion that Saudi foreign policy has anything to do with Islam. The Saudi royals are obsessed two things: Persians and Turks. Their entire foreign policy is dictated by this obsession and any pact with the devil is welcome to achieve these goals.
Note that we are not criticizing ordinary Saudi citizens and we acknowledge that some members of the royal family are more quite progressive. As Saudi and other posters have pointed out, there is a power struggle going on within these Arab countries. Finally, it goes without saying that there is much to blame on the Persian/Turksh side also.
So beautifully written. What was your score on GRE?
