Saudi king warns of terror threat to the world

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz warned on Friday that the threat of terrorism will reach Europe and America if the world does not unite to confront it, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.

The king made the statement during a reception of foreign ambassadors to the kingdom in the coastal city of Jeddah.

Britain on Friday raised the terror threat level to severe, the second-highest level.

The decision was related to developments in Iraq and Syria, but there was no information to suggest an attack was imminent.

“What we are facing in Iraq now with ISIL is a greater threat to our security than we have seen before,” Prime Minister David Cameron said.

He told reporters that while the Taliban facilitated al-Qaeda terrorism, the Islamic State group is “effectively a state run by terrorists.”

He said the ambition to create an Islamist caliphate isn't something that could be ignored. . .

Saudi, “King”?
What horse crap.
Thug whose clan had more guns.

[Yardstick]

Well said. That’s pretty much my perception of the Saudis as well.

[RedHeeler]

Fifty years? Your conclusion is, that the Saudi’s are our friends, and, all the other bastards of humanity- were also?

Spot on. I don’t forget the defense contractor that was found in pieces in a refrigerator there. The camels are coming home to roost.

Thanks. I so far watched only 5 mins of that vid. Though must say, based on what I've watched so far they need to improve their research or how they connect the dots as the video starts.

For example, they mention "Mithra" as the Persian god and connect it somehow to the 'moon and stars' in Islam? That's completely inaccurate.

Historically, Mithra also known as Mehr (in persian language) was the sun-god centuries ago in pagan Persia & was the Main god to be worshiped. The moon, equivalent of Anahita was quite insignificant by comparison. The pagan Romans also worshiped Mithra (the sun-god), and knew Mithra as "Sol Invicta".

Moon worship (or symbolism) didn't really start in Turkey either. It started with the Arab Bedouins in what we now know as (Saudi) Arabia. Formerly known as Arabistan or just Arabia.

Also, any 'moon related' influences from pagan times originate from semitic races including Arabs.

One can also clearly ascertain the 'Moon deity' influence today in the Islamic and Arab calendar for instance, which is based on lunar cycles (moon phases). The Persian national/civic calendar, for example, still uses the Solar (sun based) calendar, as does the Turkish one.

I'll watch the rest of the vid later.

Saudri Arabi should be sending troops into Iraq to help

[Lurker]

“They were never involved in hijackings”

Are you high?

[Lurker]

“If someone used nukes against us today, they would be considered a pariah. “

Just like if a group of Saudis hijacked a few civilian aircraft and slammed them into buildings. Right? It’s not like those savages would dance in the streets and hand out candy or anything. Right?

If IS or Hamas or Hezbollah or AQ manages to detonate a nuke on US soil whoever pulls it off will be celebrated by nearly a billion of those animals.

The Saudi leadership should be replaced by us. Kill them all and make it a US possession. I don’t give a crap who considers us a pariah.

Let them hate, so long as they fear.

Degenerate rich moozlums warn world about other degenerate moozlums after continuing to support the other degenerate moozlums. The only answer to this insanity is to nuke mecca and medina.

[PhilDragoo]

Hey, Saudi King, why not

give your boy the memo.

[caww]

.....”Put your military where your mouth is King and wage war on ISIS”.....

That goes for all other Muslim nations....but then Islam doesn’t recognize borders so I don’t see any of them going against ISIS for the long term....for now it’s all about “Cleansing the House of Islam”........getting Muslims united under Islam Ideology of which there are no borders.

Next will surely be “Cleansing the House of the Infidels”....be sure that war will come for all nations when Muslims unite world wide under the banner of Islam’s Ideology.

In that region, I still consider if things would be better or far worse if changed.

With Saudi Arabia, I don’t seen any prospect of it being better if the Royal Family lost control.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for your additional comments. They were interesting.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for your note of agreement.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Yardstick.

[DoughtyOne]

Okay, let me ask you this.

How would you have liked paying $4 to $6 dollars for a gallon of gas back in the 70s and 80s?

Without the Saudi leaders at OPEC, that’s exactly what you would have been doing.

Saudi Arabia was the only oil producing nation that supported keeping the prices reasoned. They prevailed.

Is that your idea of an avowed enemy of the United States?

I never said Saudi Arabia was perfect. Neither was the Shah of Iran. Things can always be worse, much worse.

[DoughtyOne]

The Saudi Leadership has never been tied to any hijackings.

Are you high?

[DoughtyOne]

If someone used nukes against us today, they would be considered a pariah. 

Just like if a group of Saudis hijacked a few civilian aircraft and slammed them into buildings. Right? It’s not like those savages would dance in the streets and hand out candy or anything. Right?

And what was the global take on that?  What whould the global take have been if the U. S. had caused massive destruction in Saudi Arabia prior to 09/11/2001?  09/11 would simply have been seen as payback.

Outrage around the world would have been non-existent.  

If IS or Hamas or Hezbollah or AQ manages to detonate a nuke on US soil whoever pulls it off will be celebrated by nearly a billion of those animals.

So what do you suggest at this point?

The Saudi leadership should be replaced by us. Kill them all and make it a US possession. I don’t give a crap who considers us a pariah.

And what would you base that on?  The Saudi leadership was not involved in 09/11/2001.  Would you suggest some nation in the Middle-East attack the U. S  and take over because U. S. Citizens are now fighting on behalf of ISIS/ISIL in the Middle-East?  That's essentially what the Saudi citizens did attacking us here on 09/11/2001.

Well, I'm not buying what you're selling.  

Let them hate, so long as they fear.

No, because inspiring that hatred even amongst our long-term allies would be foolish.

Nobody around the world would approve of us taking over Saudi Arabia. And since the leadership wasn't involved in 09/11/2001, there would be no basis for it..
