The feudal regime ruling the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is notorious for human rights abuses within its own borders. Furthermore, the regime is sponsoring Islamic organisations engaging in the undermining of foreign governments and acts of terrorism.

The Dutch member of parliament Geert Wilders has sent a creative signal of protest to the feudal rulers of Saudi Arabia by publishing a persiflage of the KSA flag. In its original design the Saudi flag depicts a sword and the creed of Islam. The KSA regime is notoriously particular about the treatment of its flag.
In Mr Wilders' flag design the Islamic creed (shahada) is replaced by a statement reflecting what he himself, and many critics and victims of Islam, think is the actual nature of Islam.
The original reads in translation:
"There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah"
Mr Wilders' persiflaged version reads
"Islam is a lie, Muhammad a criminal, the Koran is poison".
Both versions are written in Thuluth Arabic script and look very similar to non-Arab readers.
As a retaliatory measure the KSA regime has now banned Dutch companies from conducting business in the Kingdom.

We the undersigned petitioners believe it is appropriate for governments and citizens of democratic nations to stand with our friends and allies in the Netherlands and send a clear signal to the feudal rulers of Saudi Arabia.
The undersigned members of the public ask The Hon Julie Bishop MP, Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Australian Government, to implement a temporary moratorium on all government-controlled financial and business transactions as well as visa applications from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) from 1 June 2014 onwards.
We further ask the Australian government to encourage allies and friendly nations to join in solidarity and impose similar bans on the KSA regime, until such time the government of the KSA respects basic principles of humanity in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We believe this is an appropriate response to the systematic and ongoing human rights abuses by the regime of Saudi Arabia. The KSA sponsors and exports the literal application of 7th century Islamic ideology of discrimination and violence against non-Muslims, women and homosexuals across the world.
