Out here in California it is the Asians who are buy up the property

[Rusty0604]

I saw that. Too bad most Americans won’t see it; FOX the only one showing it that I know of. I just thought Wilbur Ross looked funny, sword dancing not his expertise but he gave it a shot.:-)

[Az Joe]

Dementia huh? Sad.

Dude, stop trying to force feed this or that into prophecy. Islam isn’t mentioned in the Bible. It COULD be part of the end times, or it might not be.

But I agree it’s “good vs evil.” What I’m saying is that MANY “evil” (i.e., non-Christian, which is the definition of evil) religions exist, but they aren’t inherently as violent as Islam. Buddhism has a couple of violent aspects, but as a rule it does not attempt to conquer by the sword. Taoism doesn’t. Post Bushido Shintoism doesn’t.

So whether or not a religion is de facto evil doesn’t make it an instrument of mass killing any more than most non-Christians are not murderers.

People are not as dense as you think regarding all sides of Islam.....the confused and dense ones are the muslims themselves....they are blinded by the Koran and other Islamic teachings from their youth.

I could care less which side of Islam any falls on....what I want to see are those willing to snuff out ISIS, Alqueda and any other terrorist group.

We know the warrior on the ground is quick to change sides to every can pay and or is winning.....their faith has no value then regarding which side they are on they simply want to live.

The dynamics of war and conflict in the ME is vastly different than any other wars fought....especially today when you have muslims who want to be free but are trapped in their belief systems......to leave Islam is to die no matter which side they're on.

However as we also know muslims pick and choose often what they determine to follow through on with..and in mind how they can best benifit or live. We also know where the money flows.....and or not....and regardless the struggle is still within Islam belief systems and among their own kind on how they will believe from one minute to the next....espcially in battle or in political strife.

.. And let me add just this....raping and torture happen in america every day and it has nothing to do with which side of faith one is on. It has to do with men who determine to commit such acts....period.

[caww]

I don’t need to force it LS....it does however come into play as does other nations of the ME.

I agree Islam is violent and teaches such as no other religion does BECAUSE the purpose is to conquer.....it’s actually mandated in their doctrines.... You either Fight as a warrior of Jihad or you Migrate Jihad and spread Islam. (Any wonder so many young men poured in as refugees, a great way to avoid fighting and LIVE but still be performing Jihad!)

It’s a crazy ideology with a political, militant, and spiritual side that rolls over itself in all three areas......with Imamas to push it in whatever direct of their choosing on the masses.

[caww]

I’ve heard some very interesting stories coming out of Saudi and other areas as to how muslim’s fight with us. My son was in Kuwait though never in direct battle..he and his crew set up the computer systems our guys would use in the Iraq war. He actually was in Desert Shield on his return to the states..to send out the planes to used for bombing.

15 of the 19 September 11, 2001 skyjacker murderers were Saudis.
“Our team”?
With friends like these, who needs enemies, twit.

[Eurotwit]

Preaching to the choir here mate.

After 911.

Mekka and medina should have been nuked.

And, GWB could even sort of have been polite about it.

“In one week we are nuking all your holy sites. So get out”

I agree with tumblindice. Also, another problem with *our* team - aside from their immoral nature - is that they are a group of lazy, corrupt cowards. Their projects do not prosper. Get in with a team like that, and one could be headed for defeat.

The only exception is Turkey, which is a bit more formidable. But Turkey hates Europe, and is a danger to them. One can see that. Turkey organised the mass influx of refugees, by opening its borders. That is a contravention of international law, but they were allowed to get away with it. Turkey is a huge risk to the security of Europe, and I don't know why they don't know it. Turkey was also, possibly, involved in 9/11.

[Eurotwit]

Quick answer.

Let history be the judge.

Erdogan is the closest to a new “Hitler” we have seen so far.

He doesn’t want EU membership.

He wants to come to Europe as a Sultan and recreate the darned Ottoman Empire.

And you know what?

I think he might succeed.

[353FMG]

Wilbur Ross can sworddance all he wants as long as he returns to the US with a shitload of jobs for Americans. Trump’s visit to Saudi may just initiate the Saudi-American spring in business dealings.

[jonrick46]

This is an historic event. The boom of the swords hitting the drums is the boom that ISIS and their allies will hear as their world comes crashing down.

[jonrick46]

There must have been a hundred of those swords. These are Arabian Scimitar Ceremonial/Executioner Swords at least 3 feet long and made with the finest steel. I am sure they are worth at least $5,000. Here is one (used) at that price I found on Ebay:

“...Arabs buying up...”

Prince Saud bought out GE Plastics in Selkirk, NY - now SABIC.

(Saudi Basic Idustries Corporation)

Just FYI - of course I absolutely support the president’s Saudi Arabia trip!

[stonehouse01]

The article says they bought it for 11.6 billion.

[MarMema]

target Saudi Arabia

[bert]

I believe with certainty that the Arab leaders of the GCC and Jordan and Egypt have known all along what was needed. There was in fact a coalition including Turkey that was engaged. For reasons unknown Obama backed out.

Why? Obama was naive and just plain chicken shit.

The ceremonies yesterday were to show the world that Trump is received as a friend, a leader that will allow the coalition to go forward with vigor.

All the anti Saudi, anti Arab crap being spewed on Free Republic has at it’s root profound ignorance.

Chinese however....owning a significant chunk of Detroit, for instance.
