lil. You said....." The Saudis are Arabs, being indigenous folks; so were the folks they displaced and their descendants. It was just that the Saudis' claim to royalty is questionable in the eyes of the descendants of the former rulers and their supporters. In other words, the Saudis were the usurpers. As the Saudis were/are Arabs, they are entitled to the land. But their legitimacy to being the rulers is questionable. So they are concerned."....

That is what I was trying to get through to you. Look back at what you stated in your posts and see where you were confused or just plain wrong. I suppose it is to your credit to at least understand where you were wrong when it is pointed out to you and proof of this is your about face in your above statement.

I guess I have to admit that you are at least capable of learning new things....maybe?

You said...." As I an neither Arab nor Moslem and as life is short and there are more important things to be busy with, the question of who owns what, how and when is kinda trivial to me.".....

So stop shooting off you mouth about these topics...topics you obviously know very little about. That way others won't have to constantly correct and embarrass you.

Think before you speak and stop trying to come across as
some kind of intellectual. But then again I suppose someone like yourself has no choice but to pretend to be something you are not.

Ta ta.
