By this reasoning, if King Salman tells the world that his religion's doctrine of right and wrong requires the beheading of apostates, who in the world has the right to tell him that beheading, punishing, or suppressing them is wrong? Certainly nobody in "Saudi" Arabia or anywhere else (Raqqa, for instance) where his fellow Wahhabists, lush with Saudi money and weapons, can impose their Truthy.
