It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Heh. Have begun? You've got to be kidding me! Eastern Saudi Arabia is Shia, while most (including the government) are Sunni. This is darned well not the first time there have been protests in the Eastern Province. They are, however, pretty rare overall.
One funny one happened in the 80s in Riyadh. Some of the women there have wanted to drive their own cars for some time. A bunch of them got together (most of rather high social status) and decided they were going to do just that. About twenty cars, driven by women, were speeding through the streets of Riyadh. It was truly a sight to behold, and most of the men I saw on the street were laughing. There were some shouting and shaking their fists, but the majority thought it was pretty darned funny. We were able to watch from a friend's balcony. ;D
