Saudi Arabia's powerful crown prince vowed to "pursue terrorists until they are wiped from the face of the earth" as officials from 40 Muslim countries gathered Sunday in the first meeting of an Islamic counter-terrorism alliance.
"In past years, terrorism has been functioning in all of our countries... with no coordination" among national authorities, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who is also the Saudi defence minister, said in his keynote speech at the gathering in Riyadh.
"This ends today, with this alliance."
The summit is the first meeting of defence ministers and other senior officials from the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, which officially counts 41 countries and identifies as a "pan-Islamic unified front" against violent extremism.
The alliance was announced in 2015 under the auspices of Prince Mohammed, whose rapid ascent since his appointment as heir to the throne in June has shaken the political scene across the region.
The alliance groups largely, although not exclusively, Sunni-majority or Sunni-ruled countries.
It excludes Saudi Arabia's arch-rival, Shiite-dominated Iran, as well as Syria and Iraq, whose leaders have close ties to Tehran.
Sunday's meeting coincides with an escalation in tensions between Riyadh and Tehran, particularly over wars in Syria and Yemen and the political structure of multi-confessional Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of supporting armed groups across the Middle East, including Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah and Yemen's Huthi rebels.

Maybe he should tell the truth about Las Vegas, first - even if it is inconvenient for the US government.
Whatever.
Mosks are armories and training centers. Islam is an evil form of government, not a “holy” religion.
No Islam no jihad.
>>It ain’t going to happen........ there are hundreds of millions.
Just because fraud is popular doesn’t mean it isn’t still just that - a fraud.
Is it legal to point that fact out in The Kingdom?
Khadija’s grift has gone on long enough.

Off he goes after Wahabbists ill listen. If he has decided that all terrorism is Shia, then hes just having an Islamic civil war and justifying his side. DesertRhino wrote:
Beat me to that observation. If a so called Christian leader like Pope Francis refuses to assail the theological assertions and assumptions made in Sharia how much if a chance does bin Salman have ?
And what would that “truth” be?
Well, the only thing muslim princes are interested in in control of their slice of the world, not freedom and apple pie.
While we do tend to have to be involved in the world pigpen...err, playpen, we do not have to make allegiances with anyone. Like Trump has stated- “America first, and you guys can make your country first too, but no longer is it all at the expense of America” ( paraphrasing of course).
Trust no one espc. anyone a foreigner. Time to listen to the Founders and Geo Washington.
Our intel folks have to be digging up trash on all of our friends and enemies, leverage is critical. We lost most of that leverage in the last decade or so.
Be friends with everyone, but have a plan to kill them....
This is a direct result of President Trumps visit and powerful speech in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
I'm surprised more Freepers haven't given him credit for getting this rolling.
One muslim crusader is another’s terrorist.... They all hate our constitution and way of life.
And also because they want to be a member in good standing of the G20...and their historic corruption and support for terrorism has damaged their reputation.
He also appeared at least twice on Charlie Rose show on PBS.
My guess is bin Salman has the presidents ear and between all forces involved we can put a huge dent in the world of terror.It sure as hell beats what we had with obama who never met a terrorist he didn’t covet.
This is President Donald J. Trump leadership towards ENDING the impossible-to-end war!
Saudi-led coalition simultaneously declares war on both Sunni terror organizations (Taliban, ISIS, al-qaeda) AND Shiites led by Iran (HAMAS, Hezbollah etc.)
The Saudi coalition has made PEACE with ISRAEL.
The S.A. allies of Hillary and Obama—those who helped make them rich—are in PRISON, their wealth confiscated.
The new power in S.A. could be the long awaited Reformation of Islam.
WINNING!
Make that article a separate post.
That's because we don't have any news reporters in the US, just RATagandists. They don't want you to know about this, as it will harm not only some RINOs, but more directly Barry and Hitlery.
Not a lot keeping up on what's going on.
They would rather freak out about Judge Moore, Justice Thomas and Anita Hill.
BINGO!!!!!
BINGO!!!!!
I completely agree with what you posted. It always amazes me here where “armchair strategists” are already throwing in their towels with what is happening in SA. We don’t know what the outcome will actually be, but the Prince who is soon to be King is certainly on a different tack than the SA leaders in all of my lifetime. We should give the guy the benefit of the doubt and see just what he’s able to accomplish, and I agree that Trump has most likely extended our hand if the conditions warrant it. It would be a wonderful first step, to see the Arab Nations take on the Persians, hopefully allowing us to leave the region militarily, or at least not be actually fighting and dying there while expending our treasury.
Not only do I give him credit;
(Nice little "kingdom" you got here...be too bad if something was to happen to it)
...for this massive sea-change, I also give kudos to Bannon for outing all these anti-Trump sexual predators both in Hollywood and Congress.
Bannon, you magnificent bastard!
