Propagandist of Prince Salman (and his sons)

This counts as journalism in the House of Saud's mouthpiece, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat:  "I am saying this because the Gulf States in particular, and without exception, are now on the path to reform. Some of these states are moving quickly, whilst others more slowly, and others charting a course between these two extremes. However the Gulf States are not like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya or Yemen, and particularly not like Syria, which is another story altogether. This is the reality, and this is the logical assessment of the situation, but still some people seek to incite chaos, and this is something quite different."  Notice that his article attacks democrats and salafis as if they are the same.  (thanks Tariq)
