Khashoggi's tragedy was not
because of US supporting Bin Salman's secularism but it was because of lack of
democracy in Saudi. We saw the same situation in the era of Reza Shah in Iran
(1). Islamists used the opposition to dictatorship of Reza Shah to end UK support of
secularism in Iran and finally succeeded. US policy in Saudi and the Middle East
in the last half century has been supporting Islamism (2). United States needs
to be careful that in rejecting Bin Salman, not to throw away the support for
secularism in Saudi and Middle East (3). In fact, this tragedy should show the
US, that what is needed is a secular-democracy just
like what we have had for 243 years in the United States, and not despotic
secularism. Secularism without
democracy is a prescription for failure, but certainly going back to supporting
of Islamism in the Middle East would be the worst disaster in seeking
accountability for Khashoggi's tragedy (4).
