As a general rule, I prefer peace to war. I think it is better for the human race, and overall geopolitical climate, if the Israelis and Saudis can get along - and do so publicly, instead of the clandestine cooperation that has occurred from time to time in the past.
So: Big If True.
The Saudi Imam lied:
“In particular, he cited instances in which the prophet Muhammad had friendly relationships with Jews.......”The prophet had mortgaged his shield to a Jew when he died; he had shared harvest from the land of the Jews of Khaybar, he said. The excellence he showed to his Jewish neighbor led the latter to Islam.”
That is totally Muslim revisionist history. The Jewish community of Khaybar was not peacefully led to Islam. It was attacked by Islam’s Army for not being Muslim. It’s inhabitants were killed, exiled and a few allowed to stay if subservient to the demands of Islam.
Come a little closer, said the spider to the fly.
For years the general consensus for the end times was that the antichrist and beast would come out of Europe and the nations involved in the symbolism was the European Union. But there have been others who said that the Bible is centered on the middle east and all of this would take place there. They may be correct.
