Victory in Saudi Arabia?

[T.Lex]

This does a better job (IMHO) of capturing some of the complexities. Including the Yemeni launch of a missile at Riyadh.

Yemen rebel ballistic missile 'intercepted over Riyadh' - BBC News

Another ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh. In the last few weeks, it also came up that the missile tech may have come from Iran. Welcome to the silver age of proxy wars.

Proxy wars are as old as man. What is important is warping the RNA of Jihad.

On the first point, I would quibble only by saying that man is older than nation-states are, but I catch your drift.

On the second, it will be interesting to see if a relatively direct Iran/SA conflict mutates the modern meaning of jihad. Or, if we divorce the religion from naked power grabs.

Heretics have always been a jihad target. They are worse than unbelievers.

Words are one thing, I won't believe that they change until I see it. Also depending on what they try and change and how quickly is what could effect the stabilization of Saudi Arabia and maybe even the region

Saudi Arabia announces that it will seek a more moderate Islam. Crown Prince Moe says that will work to destroy extremists ideas.

This is exactly what we need. Good news indeed.

Have Larry and Curly made any statements yet?

Well, does this mean that Saudi Arabia will be leaving Yemen?

No way, now how. Not letting Iran win there.

It is a victory for the West as we need to alter the RNA of Wabbahism and mutate jihad. Getting their women on our side is a great flanking attack.

And another interesting article on the goings on over there. I'm starting to like this dude. Hopefully he doesn't get accidentally decapitated during a shower fall.

Son of Salman (Solomon) is definitely a fellow to watch.

Does he intend to cooperate with the Israelis in whacking Iran? Wabbit wisdom (Eh, could be!) applies.

By the way, the fighter jock king of Jordan spoke up on stage at the World Economic Forum and said that he believes in Jesus the Messiah and His virgin mother.
And that I suspect did a write over on political realities in the region.

Jordan's king has advocated for awhile that Arab Christians, in particular, are part of society and can help inform the rest of the world on the "true" nature of Islam as compassionate and tolerant.

He is also a Gunsite grad.

If King Abdullah's practice of Islam became the prevailing standard, most of my concerns would disappear regarding the subject. He offers much to be admired.

Is it at this point that we post photos of the Queen?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Ok, if we can't post photos of the Queen of Jordon, how about Princess Ameerah of Saudi Arabia?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

No one? None of you guys are taking the bait?

She looks like Salma Hayek.

Dude.

Too busy reviewing the material for the proper pic to post.

This could take awhile.
