Saudi Arabia's King Fahd is dead

[Caipirabob]

Uncalled for bigotry.

Someone tell me, is it still true that Saudi Arabia still doesn't show Israel as a country on their maps?

Oh, do they permit Christians to bring bibles into Saudi Arabia yet? Or permit Christians to wear the crucifix?

Theme to "Jeopardy" plays...

The king is sure going to be surprised. He thought Arabia was hot...

Abdullah has been running things for a while. He's the least Western friendly prince. Not the best thing for us but him taking over does seem like the most stable change they can get under the current system.

Saudi US ambassador Prince Bandar would be the best for us and it was theorized that the rest of the princes would pass over Abdullah and pick Bandar. This story isn't over yet.

Probably will raise oil prices as it seems like the market is looking for any excuse to raise them. I hope it's just a temporary spike.

How many virgins does he get for dying in his sleep at age 84?

Their hatred of all of us appears to be national policy.

Maybe I'm just slow, I mean it's been said before, but just what makes this clown and his protracted family royal?
Didn't he just have the largest army?
And this nonsense about being somehow related to muhammed?

It's Bush's fault.

Got newz for ya, that's just stupid crap. It's getting really, really old.

I suppose for some, it's the best they have to offer.

Good summary. It is interesting to look into the mind of the Arabs, who live in such an unforgiving land. While we may judge it cruelty, something as simple as a canteen of water used to make the difference between life and death.

Now, of course, no matter if someone says they're Christian, or Buddhist, or Islamic, it still comes down to the same thing.

Money and power.


Therefore, didn't the beast say "Hurt not the wine or the oil"?

The oil is the oil that comes from the mideast, unknown at the time Revelation was written.
The wine is the blood of the Israelis.

Good riddance. May Fahd rot in hell.

I give it, uuhh, I dunno, about 2 days. Then we will hear that his death was somehow these people's fault.

[RandallFlagg]

Careful. Some around here seem a bit....grumpy.

Not me, though! I'm ALWAYS in a great mood!

[djf]

Well, I'm gonna throw this out as an honest assessment.

There is a large part of the world who don't feel "If it rains on some south Pacific Island today that's because everybody hates the Jews"

No one can deny the political situation in the mideast, or the centuries of conflict.

But it's not my conflict. It's not my mission. As a Christian, I have to try to treat all the same. To try to find some good about everything.

Hatred and spite make it almost impossible.

A summary of the US response

1. Our deepest sympathies
2. Keep sending oil.

[DefiantZERO]

So we have to kiss someone else's @$$ to get oil, big deal.

just what makes this clown and his protracted family royal?

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the finest shimmering Samite... Hmm. No, that's not it.
