Abdullah was Pro-America and actually fought against extremists. He was one of the good guys.
Good being a VERY relative term.
Yes if any of them can be considered “good guys” really. Allies's might better be said.
He fought extremists by letting the kingdom fund them as long they kept it out of the kingdom. He bought American congressfools left and right. He let the wahabbists spread all over America and funded all their mosque building.
Oh, and he stood for every antithesis of the US Constitution and the founders. He would let you be beheaded of you opened a church or synagogue in his country.
With “Pro American” guys like him, we don’t need enemies.
Lol, sure whatever floats your turd.
There are no Muslim good guys - that is my personal, prejudiced point of view. Abdullah used America when it benefited him. Abdullah presided over a kingdom that had no notion of civil rights. He presided over a kingdom that still practices slavery. Abdullah presided over a nation that practices female genital mutilation, stoning of adulterers, and persecution of Christians. Yeah, he was a good guy. (heavy dose of sarcasm)
As a member of OPEC, an illegal cartel under American and most western governments' law, oil prices have been manipulated time and time again, to his benefit and to the determent of Americans. While the latest unilateral price manipulation of oil, punishes Iran and Russia and temporarily helps American consumers, it hurts the shale oil/gas businesses of America.
Understand one thing about Muslims: they are taught, instructed and practice deception against the infidels. It is part of their religion. It is in their so-called holy book. You cannot trust a Muslim. You can not trust a Muslim nation. Once that is understood there is only one conclusion. That is you can not ever enter into any agreement or treaty with a Muslim or Muslim nation.
Abdullah fought against extremists when it benefited him. Meanwhile, Abdullah was an extremist. Is one Muslim extremist better than another Muslim extremist? I suppose when he is our extremist. The problem here is that American foreign policy went wrong when we started to consider extremists friends. We can have a foreign policy where we allow one extremist to be pitted against extremist, but we should never consider them friends.
May Abdullah and all Muslims burn in hell.
