In January of 2015 Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi began a journey of peace by asking the holiest and most influential Islamic Scholars in the Arab world to join him in stepping away from the noise of extremist voices and engaging in long-term introspective review of their Islamic faith. President al-Sisi called for a religious revolution to focus Islam toward a future of peace. The engaged Dar al-Iftaa scholarly audience erupted in applause.
President al-Sisi stood up, resolute, spoke of large truths with bold leadership, and took great risk upon himself. After the speech a coalition of like-minded voices began to grow in number and consequence. That moment became the pebble dropped in the shoe of the Arab leadership of consequence – the emphasis shifted toward peace.
That influential speech, and more importantly the leadership of all joining member states, including the praise of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia before his untimely death, paved the way forward toward this upcoming weekend. King Abdullah’s successor, his brother King Salman, is now positioned to put his own footprint in history.

Ping...
We are sitting on the front row of history making!!!
Doing the work that the ‘fudge packer’ president couldn’t or wouldn’t do.
This president is working for us.
That sure angers a lot of the W., D.C. insiders.
Things like this are what the LIB/LEFT/DEM mindset fear the most.
That good men doing the right thing could make things better.
Yes it looks that way!
I couldn’t care less about this ill-timed trip. There is a coup in progress and if nothing changes soon Trump, and the American Republic, will be history by September.
This is serious s***.
Even FR seems like crickets these days with little discussion of important issues and fewer participants.
These are dark days and don’t give me any of that “drama queen” crap.
This is serious s***.
The American people should be in the streets, “journalists” should be marked as domestic enemies. The Deep State should be rooted out.
Trump should be firing all those Goldman Sachs globalists he hired, the grossly incompetent Reince Priebus Never-Trumpers, and the out-and-out liberals that infest his White House.
And yet he wanders off to Saudi Arabia promising them billions in American weaponry.
This is serious s***.
I would say there will be civil war but the American people don’t have the stomach to fight for their Republic.
And so it dies with a whimper.
You can bet that the media will try to turn this into a foreign policy disaster.
I love Sundance’s stuff...if it were not for him I would have lost sanity months ago...That being said I doubt if most Americans even know how hard this summit was to put together basically a middle east NATO...and interesting irony for me is much of the leg work on our side was done by Jared Kushner a Jew negotiating with everyone from King Salman of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia on down...all muslims..
EPIC is a word that comes to mind
The First Amendment as one...we all have a right to say what we please and that is what the media, talking heads, and radio show hosts are doing...he can't stop that unless they pass a new amendment and you know that is not going to happen...
What do you want him to do about Time Warner, Disney, G.E. A.T.&T., all the companies that own and operate and pay these media, talking heads and radio show hosts their pay???
WE have the power more than President Trump does...why do you think we don't have cable, or go to movies, or purchase things at different places? WE have the power to boycott, hit them in the wallet, so until WE get enough together to take them out, nothing is going to change...is it...
CAVEAT. AT least half the attendees are viciously anti-Christian, anti-American IslamoNazi dictators or similar evil, dangerous types. Also, President Trump besmirches himself and America by meeting with the arch-terrorist mass-murderer Abbas and his PLO/PA/Fatah Killing Gang of thugs. They have SO MUCH BLOOD on their hands, the very best thing DJT could have done was to have them taken in and dispatched (executed) without need of any further fanfare.
The very, very best thing he could have done. The second-best thing he could do now is to have CIA complete that assignment in the field, ASAP. AND CUT OFF ALL AMERICAN MONEY that is financing the Abbas/PLO terrorist murder gang.
The Jordanians and Egyptians are somewhat “moderate’if that term can be used in the Muslim context. We should, I think, continue to work with them. The Saudis and some of the others mentioned are such viciously anti-Christian and anti-American dictatorial “leaders”... that it sure would be nice if there could be some prompt, beneficial “regime change” in those places. In the long (and maybe shorter) run, USA’s propping up tyrants (who are also our enemies) is NOT a safe or defensible strategy. We only do it for the money that some Deep Swamp types and their backers are making in payola from Saudi, etc. (same thing that has compromised several of our Congressional leaders...and which bought out Candidate HilLIARy to the tune of a reported $200 million)
As one Saudi prince said a few years ago, he can buy all the decisions, influence he wants in WashDC... at that time, he claimed he was only offering our governmental personnel $$$$ for delivery after they left their public offices. But since that time, our enemies’ filthy lucre is obviously flowing 24/7 ...along with (almost indistinguishable) SorozNazi $$$$$$$ galore.
as a California political leader put it several years ago,
“I am sick and tired of hearing all the criticism of our government. We have the very best government money can buy!”
And that, friends, is a major part of the SWAMP problem in WashDC today.
We supposedly have “representatives” we elect to defend our interests. How are these “representatives” doing these days?
Trump has a lot of things that are not “out of his hands.” The simple fact is he is not doing them. And the people around him are failing.
Trump is on the precipice and FR discusses Catholicism and the size of hen’s eggs.
If Trump goes down, which is looking more likely with each passing hour, American democracy goes down with it.
Things had better change. And soon.
When moderate muslims declare a holy war on extremist muslim jihadists, and follow through, that is the historical event I want to witness.
There is a legitimate debate among conservatives as to whether there is any such thing as a “moderate Muslim nation.”
President Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East is arguing that there are many more moderate Muslim nations than the few Islamic radical nations and the radical fundamentalist Islamic terrorist organizations.
Tomorrow in Saudi Arabia the president is likely to lay out a plan to create a “U.S.-Arab NATO.”
He is backing that up with a $110 billion weapons sale to Saudi Arabia.
Many will be uneasy with the policy and with the arms sale, but that is what is happening tomorrow in Saudi Arabia.
A house divided cannot stand. The walls are crumbling and the roof caving in.
I don't think your solution, taking to the streets, will accomplish much at this time. Trump has the situation under control. There are only two known facts: Obama spied on Trump or at least his associates using the national security apparatus, and Trump has policy disagreements with neocons and Dems who want to be neocons. Namely Trump is pro-Russia and they are not. Everything else is made up.
Trump should be firing all those Goldman Sachs globalists he hired, the grossly incompetent Reince Priebus Never-Trumpers, and the out-and-out liberals that infest his White House.
Trump hired qualified professionals for the most part. Someone working for Goldman Sachs is not necessarily a globalist. The more important point is whether they are qualified to develop policy. Trump will make sure it is America-first, that's his job.
Well, you are mainly wrong about that. Trump has done many things that he can do through regulatory reform and executive action.
There is definitely no moderate Muslim nation. But there is a choice of which Muslim nations you support to kill off other Muslims or other Muslim nations. We don't have a lot of good choices. Maybe none. But we still have to choose.
Thanks for the rational and pragmatic reply. Cheers!
