“	The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not a slave of colonial forces like you and others. … Do not indulge yourself in things you have no business with! The lie is before you and the grave is in front of you!	„
	~ Abdullah to Muammar Gaddafi at the Arab League Summit in Egypt, 2 March 2003

Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud , more commonly known as Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (August 1st, 1924 - January 23rd, 2015) is the former leader of Saudi Arabia. He is the half-brother of current monarch King Salman, and uncle of crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.

Most of his criticism stems from the fact that most of Saudi citizens live under a strict Wahhabist interpretation of Sharia law, which mandates the amputation of hands as a punishment for theft and floggings for crimes like drunkenness. Execution by public beheading is common for murder, rape, drug trafficking, and witchcraft, and Abdullah's policies towards the rights of women have also been criticized. In a slight rebuff to accusations of human rights violations, Saudi inmates of Najran Province sent the King well-wishes from jail and wished him a speedy recovery.   

King Abdullah has also been criticized for his policies on religious freedom, which is reportedly non-existent, and the Saudi government allegedly has arrested Shiite pilgrims on the Hajj. On 24 January 2007, Human Rights Watch sent an open letter to King Abdullah asking him to cease religious persecution of the Ahmadi faith in Saudi Arabia. Two letters were sent in November 2006 and February 2007 asking him to remove the travel ban on critics of the Saudi government. Human Rights Watch has not yet indicated whether they have received any response to these letters.

On 30 October 2007, during a state visit to the United Kingdom, King Abdullah was greeted by protesters accusing him of being a "murderer" and a "torturer". Concerns were raised in the UK about the treatment of women and homosexuals by the Saudi kingdom and over alleged bribes involving arms deals between Saudi Arabia and the UK.

In addition to his bad deeds; however; he has done some good things. For example; he has donated lots of money. He has also called on other Muslims to reject the extremist ideologies of The Islamic State.

Though he initially had a good relationship with Bashar al-Assad, his relations him soon deteriorated due to the ongoing Syrian Civil War.

King Abdullah passed away on January 23rd, 2015.
