Prince of Saudi Holy City of Mecca Dies (in USA)
Associated Press (excerpt) ^ | May 5, 2007

Posted on 05/05/2007 3:16:44 AM PDT by HAL9000

Prince Abdul-Majid bin Abdul-Aziz, the governor of the Islam's holy city of Mecca, died Saturday after a long illness, a Saudi Arabian royal statement said. He was 65.

Abdul-Majid, who was the half brother of Saudi King Abdullah, was flown to the United States where he died after sudden health deterioration, the statement said.

The brief statement did not provide any other details about the cause of death or say exactly where the prince died in the U.S. It said he had undergone a surgery earlier and had traveled back to Saudi Arabia, but was flown back to the U.S. when his condition worsened.

“Abdul-Majid, who was the half brother of Saudi King Abdullah, was flown to the United States”

...flown to the United States?! For health care?! I thought that our health care was so horrible that people went to Cuba for their health?! Right Michael Moore? /~sarc

Yeah, but, look at the results. He got operated on in the United States--and then he died!

Surely he would have been cured and bowing to Mecca today if he had just flown over to Fidel's Paradise. :-)

Hee probably died at the Cleveland Clinic, where most of these muzzies come for treatment.

Makes sense as Cleveland was home base for Rockefeller’s monopolistic Standard Oil before the court broke it up and oil is, after all, the basis for their ability to buy far better medical care then the rest of us.

They call us the great Satan, but they come here for health care and education.

Maybe Islam will claim a new city as holy: Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and now Cleveland.

They call us the Great Satan, preach in their mosques for our destruction, fund mosques all around the world calling for our destruction, fund terrorists who carry out destructive acts...yet the position of our Government is that Saudi Arabia is our “strategic ally”.

Go figure.

Let's see how the Saudi's play this.

We can be innocent, attempting to heal and save a man ... or we can be muderous scum the muzzies proclaim us to be.

The house of Saud has a challenge on their hands now, and the troops that are just about ready to complete the increase of boots in the buildup in Iraq, might need to be diverted.

Suffice it to be a fact that we are in an extremely important and volitile era of history ... only about 1/1000 of that era having already occured.

It turns out that he died in Seattle.

It seems to me that the Governor of Mecca would want to die in Mecca - and I have to wonder if there will be any trouble about it.
