Since there's a specific date, when he said that, I haven't seen any "refuting" ot from S. Arabia's "kingdom", I doubt it's possible that it ain't true.

Here are more links:

Masti - You're putting me in the position of Devil's Advocate for the damn Saudis here. I don't like the Saudis but... I still haven't seen one single actual source for the highly inflammatory quote:

Saudi Arabia's King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993: "I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me... etc... etc...

Jeddah 1993 is all it says, that is not a source. Who says that they heard him say that, was it one person? many people? When and where did he say it? Who did he say it to? Was it covered in the Press? Is it coming from a government anonymous source?

You say that you haven't seen the Saudis refuting it, so you doubt it's possible that it isn't true. Well lots of things are said about the USA that aren't true. Using your logic, if the USA doesn't refute any falsehoods told about us, they then become true.

Finally, you gave me four links, none of which had anything to do with the supposed comment by King Fahd. Like I said before, I'm calling Bullshit on that quote. The Saudis are not our friends, They are their own and other Arab's friends. They have never been dumb however and I can't see King Fahd getting caught saying something so stupid.

Astound me, come up with an actual person who attributes that Quote to King Fahd.

A Muslim source:

Last but not least, from even an Arabist (anti Israel bigoted site) ‘rense’:

In case you want a name and face attached to someone that (also) quoted it.

Dale Hurd of CBN has quoted it here: http://www.stevequayle.com/News.alert/03_Unrest/030903.Saudi.blind.eye.html
