Destroy all churches!!!

[Dordrecht]

"Why is it that when Abdulaziz ibn Abdullah Al al-Sheikh, the grand mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, declares that it is 'necessary to destroy all the churches in the Arabian Peninsula,' the major media do not see this as even worth reporting?" asks Middle East expert Cliff May in a story I'd encourage you to read and share with others.
"And no one, to the best of my knowledge, has noted that he said this to the members of a terrorist group.
Here are the facts: Some members of the Kuwaiti parliament have been seeking to demolish churches or at least prohibit the construction of new ones within that country’s borders.
So the question arose: What does sharia, Islamic law, have to say about this issue?
A delegation from Kuwait asked the Saudi grand mufti for guidance. He replied that Kuwait is part of the Arabian Peninsula — and that any churches on the Arabian Peninsula should indeed be destroyed, because the alternative would be to approve of them.
The grand mufti explained: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded us, ‘Two religions shall not coexist in the Arabian Peninsula,’ so building [churches] in the first place is not valid because this peninsula must be free from [any other religion].”
In Saudi Arabia, of course, non-Islamic houses of worship were banned long ago, and non-Muslims are prohibited from setting foot in Mecca and Medina....This should be emphasized: Al al-Sheikh is not the Arabian equivalent of some backwoods Florida pastor. He is the highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia, where there is no separation of mosque and state, and the state religion is the ultra-orthodox/fundamentalist reading of Islam known as Wahhabism.
He also is a member of the country’s leading religious family. In other words, his pronouncements represent the official position of Saudi Arabia — a country that, we have been told time and again, changed course after 9/11 and is now our ally and solidly in the anti-terrorism camp."

It is ironic that on the one hand Saudi Arabia is an American ally but on the other hand is populated with a majority of hardcore Wahhabism Muslims. Much of the Saudi Royal Family is secular but have to accomodate the very conservative clergy, police force, etc.

The result is a country modern in many ways but one in which women still cannot drive a car or go out alone.

The Saudi royal family is (according to my understanding) as radical as that cleric. However, they hide it behind a facade of friendliness to the West. This is just a method to secretly infiltrate and undermine all of those that they consider a threat to them.

Let us vote out Obama, then we should stop buying gas from companies that use middle eastern oil. Force a change.

Seriously,
As if the ties between the Bush family and the Saudi have NOTHING to do with America's purchasing of their oil.

Another senseless "blame Obama" quip.
