When Arab "liberal" writers in oil and gas Arab media sign a petition against ISIS

This is rather hilarious especially that I saw something by an American reporter on Twitter billing this as a petition by "Arab progressives" when the signatories are overwhelmingly writers in Saudi and Qatari media.  What is interesting is that they say that are taking this initiative, i.e. signing a damn petition, to protest against the "expansion by ISIS".  Does that mean that they were in favor of ISIS until it expanded especially that they were all in support of the various Syrian rebels for the last two years.  But that is not the part that I want to point out.  Their petition included this section about ISIS:  "And this religious rule in its essence is a grindstone for people, and an apparatus of enslavement separate from the world of work and production and establishes an ultra-elitist racist rule which is fascist in dealing with the public.  It will soon accumulate power and wealth in the hands of leaders protected by what is sacred.  This entity is candid in its principled hostility to to freedom, women, beauty, and modern education and is economically parasitic, and is aggressive internally and externally.  It is a foundation of a regime of enslavement which owns the population, land, wealth and does not confine itself to rule, and imposes by forces an alien model on local people and kill those who disobey it...a system that is inheritable dynastically...this dangerous toying with religion and its employment in the project of establishing an authority of enslavement with no horizon except nihilism and darkness in it, where there is no economy, no education and no culture, no association, and no joy of life, and no dignity of man and no respect between people, no to mention the absence of public and private freedoms".  Is this not quintessential hypocrisy?  Does all this jargon not apply to the Saudi regime?   The same regime that sponsors and employs most of those signatories? Do you see why Arab "liberals" have the worst reputation in the Arab world?
