| Saudi Crown Prince deplores accusing Muslims of terrorism |
| 2003-03-18 |
| Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah in Jeddah on Tuesday deplored accusing the Muslims of the unjust charge of terrorism. Oh, cert'nly not! I mean when have Muslims ever killed people in the name of their religion? In a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi, the Crown Prince underscored the need for consultations among the Islamic nations to safeguard dignity of Islam. Kharrazi and Saudi Crown Prince said that strong relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia will serve the interests of the entire Islamic nations. You certainly don't get much more Islamic than Soddy Arabia and Iran... Crown Prince Abdullah conveyed warm greetings to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and President Mohammad Khatami and said that the strong Iran makes Muslim World stronger. Kharrazi said that the plight of Palestinians has been forgotten due to the disunity of the Muslim nations and that the Zionist regime is taking maximum advantage of the current Iraqi crisis with intensified military attacks against the defenseless Palestinians. He's talking about those guys who explode at every opportunity... "Now, that the diplomacy has been brought to end, the international community should make its efforts to minimize the losses," Kharrazi said. Bet that doesn't mean they're going to mend their ways... |

| #6 My, my, my, those Iranians are busy little beavers, aren't they? Syria was visiting in the last couple of days. Just saw it on worldlink tv's round up of the ME. How much do you need build the bombs faster so we can make a strong Iran? |

| #3 Prince Abdullah is absolutely correct. We all know it's really those damn Episcopalians that've been responsible for terrorism the last 30 years. Finally, at long last, it's so refreshing to see a Muslim step forward and deny any connection between Islam and terrorism. I didn't think I'd live to see the day. |

| #2 I think the Iranian population might have something to say about the desirability of a government based on Islam, soon as they get that boot off their neck. I really have to question whether the Soddy populace can do the same. The persians were an educated and independent-thinking group as a whole and knew the value of an economy and free trade. The Soddy public, however, has been living in a Michael Jackson-like Neverland, where filipinos and pakis do their bidding while the oil welfare state paid their bills. I don't think they have a work ethic or entrepreneurial (sp?) class...to paraphrase an old American phrase: too many chiefs (princelings) and not enough indians (middle class business owners) |

| #1 I think that he is suffering from WSTBNS (We're Soon to Be Next Syndrome). The cure, which is radical, consists of a top overhaul, as we say in the aircraft engine vernacular.... |
