Saudi King Abdullah: Jews, Muslims, Christians Must Diolog
2008-03-30 05:54:00 Sathya Sai Baba, 82 (although records suggest that he is older, see discussion and further links here, The Date of Sai Baba’s Birthday) has long said that he will cause, within his own lifetime, a profound coming together in peace and harmony among the world’s religions. See, Will World Accept Sai Baba? He Says Yes. Very Soon When one looks at the Interfaith horizon, there are many players, and yet Sai Baba and his global Sathya Sai Organization are frequently conspicuous by their absence. A simple check with the organisational leaders of the Interfaith community will reveal all. ‘Divine’ Decline and Decline of the Showman ‘Emperor’  Sai Baba is now showing significant signs of dotage. His devotees - but not his worried minders! - ignore all the patently obvious signs of decrepitude. They claim e.g., that it is “all Bhagawan’s Leela” and that “Swami is simply testing us”, and display a range of rather saddeni...

He was speaking in a BBC interview ahead of a state visit to the UK - the first by a Saudi monarch for 20 years. He also said Britain failed to act on information passed by the Saudis which might have averted terrorist attacks. In the BBC interview he said the fight against terrorism needed much more effort by countries such as Britain and that al-Qaeda continued to be a big problem for his country. "I find this very rich from the man whose country gave the world Wahhabism and Bin Laden. Wahhabism is with oil, Saudis principle export. Unlike oil they give it away all over the world. From its origins in ancient Salafi Islam comes the modern terrorism. We should say to the King, you reform Islam . That will help us stop terrorism. Show us the Islam of ...

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia : The conflicts in Lebanon, Iraq and Palestin
2007-06-24 19:33:00 The Saudi leader said hat the conflicts in Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine spill over into other parts of the world. He said these words in an interview with Spain's El Pais newspaper earlier this week.It would be wrong to ignore him. International community should try to find out the causes of the Middle East's worsening condition in hopes of improving it. The Middle regimes and Bush Administration are equally responsible for the worsening crisis. The Bush administration lacks a coherent policy in this part of the world - and the results are plain for all to see. The Administration should rethink its Middle policies and force all the parties to reach a comprise settlement

Saudi King Abdullah used peace initiative as means of stabilizing his rule
2007-03-19 01:24:00 Abdul Aziz al-Saud, the founder of the modern Saudi kingdom, had no less than 43 registered sons, and some say a similar unregistered number. It is not quite clear how many wives he had: The king would divorce and marry anew, as necessary, so that he would always have three wives simultaneously. The marriages were primarily political and aimed at establishing the kingdom. Each wife came from a different tribe, small and large, and the sons born to the king by the women of these tribes were deemed as the tribe's shares in the new order of the kingdom known as "Saudi Arabia." Subsequently, there are thousands of princes and royal family members in Saudi Arabia today. But this led to a problem: Who would succeed the throne after Abdul Aziz? Namely, which tribe? King Abdul Aziz came up with an idea: The throne would pass from one son to the next according to their biological order of birth. Namely, the eldest would reign first, and when he passes away the next in line would succe...
