Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz warned on Friday that the threat of terrorism will reach Europe and America if the world does not unite to confront it, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
The king made the statement during a reception of foreign ambassadors to the kingdom in the coastal city of Jeddah.
Britain on Friday raised the terror threat level to severe, the second-highest level.
The decision was related to developments in Iraq and Syria, but there was no information to suggest an attack was imminent.
“What we are facing in Iraq now with ISIL is a greater threat to our security than we have seen before,” Prime Minister David Cameron said.
He told reporters that while the Taliban facilitated al-Qaeda terrorism, the Islamic State group is “effectively a state run by terrorists.”
He said the ambition to create an Islamist caliphate isn't something that could be ignored. . .

A warning from King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz ?
Is this a joke?
I have more respect for the Burger King.
What the Saudis have given to the world.
Saudi Arabia is not our enemy

They came to us, turbans in hand, when Saddam gobbled Kuwait.
So we tossed Saddam out, spending our blood and treasure, and the Wahhabi Saudis allowed their mullahs and imams to paint us as infidel crusaders.
This is about the most appropriate time and place to tell them, as they present themselves to us again, turbans in hand once again—complaining they need help with their cut-throat Wahhabi Brothers, wanting us to spend blood and treasure, again—to go “pound sand”.
Nuke them all from orbit, because ...
90% of his subjects probably would support ISIS
Yeah, I’ll bet.
You see, am of the view that neither the leadership of KSA nor most of those in the the Gulf Sheikhoms are ‘moderates’, theologically. Economically though they run like corporations. Islamic State (IS) is increasingly aiming to do employ a similar (but not exactly same model). A big difference between IS, KSA & Gulf Sheikhdoms is the former is not recognised as a formal ‘nation-state’ by another country, yet. Noteworthy is that IS already has its own Minister of Finance and rules over approx. 8 million people in Iraq & Syria combined. — http://online.wsj.com/articles/islamic-state-fills-coffers-from-illicit-economy-in-syria-iraq-1409175458
Fuck the Saudis. We should nuke Mecca, wipe the “Royal Family” out to the last infant, expropriate their assets, and auction off the oil fields to the highest legitimate bidder.
If any of the goat humping, child raping, clitorectomy performing savages so much as clear their throat we should cover whatever rat hole they crawled out of with our last stocks of sarin gas.
The Saudis paid for this. They can reap the whirlwind.
islam is a cancer. And the Saudi strain is the most pernicious.

Let's lay out some facts not in dispute: Islam is basically a system of organized crime with some really ornate rugs. But humanity does happen in the margins. That's why, as Ann Coulter pointed out, not all Moslems are terrorists (but virtually all terrorists are Moslems).
Another important fact is that with 1) Polygamy; and 2) Western billions paid in oil revenues over the years, the Saudi royal family consists of a huge and varied bunch. They don't all have governance responsibilities, to put it mildly, but a lot of them have money. Some apparently are jihad-niks, but others don't want to kill the Western economy, the goose that has laid every golden egg in that flea-pit of a kingdom.
In addition, even the Saudis who have been arrogant and subversive toward the West and Israel in the recent past have now woken up to a much worse possibility. As the Arab expression goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Would the "scared straight" Saudis be as dangerous to have as allies as the Soviets were for us in World War II? That's a good question. Seems that's what it's been like so far, but things have just gotten real serious in their perimeter.
As a Christian, I see an opportunity to rattle their cage about freedom of religion in Saudi. Pretty soon, we won't even need their stupid oil, so they better start playing nice.
Oops that link doesn’t seem to work for some reason. But do a search online for “Islamic State Economy Runs on Extortion, Oil Piracy in Syria, Iraq” - by By NOUR MALAS and MARIA ABI-HABIB on WSJ, and you can read the full article.

The Saudi’s are a terror threat to the world. They funded bin Ladin. The have been funding ISIS because they want to see Assad down. they are every bit as evil and every thing else Islamic.
And we have been paying and paying and paying...through the price of fuel; because of this gov’t’s sending our hard earned tax dollars to fund all their ulterior motives...and because they themselves are evil Saudi terrists.
My personal rule when in doubt is to overestimate the enemy rather than underestimate.
Agreed, is always the best plan to have plan A, B, C, D, etc. encompassing the entire alphabet then A1, A2, etc. Never underestimate an enemy and go with overestimation to be fully prepared. Going to be an interesting two plus years bordering on if not turning into full insanity for this planet.
Folks, after watching the dynamics across the Middle-East for the last fifty years, I can tell you that the Saudis are not the enemies you think them to be.
I’ll tell you what, in the end neither was Khadaffy. Assad wasn’t as bad as he could have been.
Look at guys like Hussein, Achmadinnerjacket, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah. Jordan and the Saudis have had a working relationship with the U. S. for fifty years.
They were never involved in hijackings. They weren’t invading other countries. They weren’t damanding Israel be pushed in to sea.
It’s all realative over there. Some nations are worse than othere. For many years Assad was a jackass. In recent years he moderated to a certain extent. He wasn’t persecuting Christians in his nation. He was helping Hezbollah to arm against Israel in Southern Lebanon, and that was a big problem, but in other ways, he wasn’t the pariah I always thought him to be.
Islam does have it’s teachings that we despise. Saudi Arabia has those religious teachings in it’s nation too. Hey they all do over there. That doesn’t mean that they are all out to destroy the U. S. the first chance they get.
McCain was sure getting Khadaffy out of Libya was going to be a great thing. Now the nation is destabilized. We armed the rebels, and now it’s a real mess.
Some folks thought Mubarak was a jackass. Well, how much better are things now? There is some stability momentarily, but it could be gone in days. Assad may now be replaced by a truly game changing group. Things can always be worse.
Saudi Arabia could be a hell of a lot worse. Those of you who trash it today, you just wait until the next leadership takes over. You’re not going to be happy. Get used to that idea.
You can rag on Saudi Arabia just like Carter and McCain did in Iran and Libya. And then you will see why demanding a change in the Saudi Leadership was a mistake as well.
That day comes.
We are not going to nuke Mecca. The day we use nukes again, we will never be able to complain if nukes are used against us. We did it in WWII, but those were different times.
If someone used nukes against us today, they would be considered a pariah. If we use nukes again prior to that, we will be seen as living and dying by that sword.
That’s not a devaluation I want to see.
They may have ground zero. It seems I read something to that effect. I don’t want it there. To me that amounts to a sacrilege.
We still didn’t have to let them. We let them. It angers me too.
AS for funding 09/11, I don’t believe the leadership was involved. I do believe a number of Saudis were.
The Saudi Family hands out a lot of money of there. They have bought favor from their citizens by spreading oil profits around. That doesn’t mean that they know or approve of where every dime goes, even in the Saudi family.
That’s just the way it works over there.
Frankly, there are around 30,000 Saudi citizens here on student Visa today. I’d send them home.
After 09/11, we had every reason to. I believe Bush actually increased the number of student Visas. I believe I read that, but I could be wrong.
The King is Islamophobic.
Now Obama is going to have to throw the Saudi King and David Cameron under the bus. It is starting to get crowded and smelly under there.
