| [An Nahar] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... , home to Islam's holiest sites, on Thursday condemned the release of an amateur movie mocking Islam and the deadly attacks against U.S. missions over the film. The kingdom "condemned the violent reactions in several countries against U.S. interests," the official news agency SPA said, and "the production by an irresponsible group in the United States of a film insulting the Prophet Mohammed." Saudi Arabia "offers its condolences to the United States on the victims of the violence that targeted the U.S. consulate in (the Libyan city of) Benghazi," it said. The ultra-conservative kingdom also "affirms its rejection of all acts that insult religions and religious symbols." Protests have erupted since Tuesday outside U.S. diplomatic missions in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and other Arab states by demonstrators who deem the low-budget movie "Innocence of Moslems" made in the United States as offensive to Islam. |
