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. . .

Is that him coming out of a bath-house again?
Good one!
Most of the behavior that some people have deplored, here, reflects not hostility to America or Americans, but efforts to resist Marxist influenced radicalism in the Near & Middle Easts. On the subject of such, I am reminded of the old saying, I believe attributed to one of the Iroquois Indian nations, "never judge a man until you have walked at least seven miles in his moccasins."
Almost all of our real enemies in the Near & Middle Easts, gained power in over-throwing earlier monarchies, since 1950. (Examples, Egypt under Nasser; Iraq under Sadaam; Iran under Khomeni; Libya, etc..) There are many reasons why given the vast ethnic variations in the region, that an intelligently led monarchy is desirable in the region. For one thing, they have been far less apt to slaughter ethnic & religious minorities--far less.

I agree with your comments there. Thank you.
You can not fairly pillory people merely by their ethnicity, without analyzing who is who withing their nation.
Yeah, I figured some of it is reaching/erroneous. The most important thing I took away from it was towards the middle where they explain Bible prophecy about the end times in a fresh way...How the Caliphate is the revived Ottoman empire (beast who’s deadly wound healed)and SA is Mystery Babylon.
Do you have any idea what an idiot the Saudi King thought Obama was? The Saudi King knows Western customs. He’s never been bowed to before by our presidents (to my knowledge). (of course we are talking about the pres__ent _resident though) I believe he held hands with Bush the elder (which was kind of creepy), but Bush did not signify the United States being subservient to the Saudis, and that’s just what Obama did. Sickening...
He looked like an idiot to the world, especially when he continued to bow to other world leaders.
My personal opinion is that he may have been bowing to his benefactors. Didn’t we all wonder WHO helped pay his way to all the ivy league colleges, room and board, etc?
I don’t think it’s odd to wonder how he managed to arrive in mainland USA and get all the perks that he did. If any of what I say has been proven wrong, I missed seeing it!
Well, you may be right. I agree that the kid got perks he shouldn’t have been able to attain on his own, or his family’s income.
I tend to agree Turkey or current Turkish govt has visions of reverting to Ottoman Empire days, theologically. In 1989 there was a documentary on the australian tv about Nostradamus prophecies. They said Nostradamus talked about 3 Antichrists. All 3 would come from the ‘sea of politics’. They interpreted the 1st was Napoleon, 2nd Hitler and the 3rd isn’t known as yet. Some thought it was Khomeini. But he is dead. Tho that program talked alot about the rise of Islam particularly creeping thru the west like a ‘true serpent’. Considering that documentary was made in 1989, it was remarkably accurate in hindsight. I can’t find it on youtube. I recorded parts of it back then but since it’s on old VHS tape & not good quality need to see how i can put it up online.
