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. . .

Liberalism/Pacifism.
Well, am feeling a whole lot better now that a saudi king is sharing intelligence for the first time ever. Yep, must be another coded message of ‘go’ directed for terrorists’ ears, democrat ears and big ears in the white house.
Now that they have spent a half century and billions of dollars promoting Wahhabism around the globe, they are getting worried when it’s in their back yard.
You’re precisely right.
I call that blowback. Gotta love it when those preaching jihad end up with jihadists right in their own neighborhood...
Exactly! Get to killing or get out of the way.
Maybe the royals aren’t worried any longer. The royals have their money thanks to us. Why would they not go full battle r o y a l with the crowd they helped create and enter the war looking innocent? Would be a typical royals move.
Put your money where your mouth is!
Can we count on you for $10Bil, $20Bil, or $100Bil?
And we’ll give you a free blanket for your first $1Bil.!
If I.S. takes over Saudi Arabia, every one of the thousands of members of the oligarchy will be beheaded if they have not fled to Switzerland by then. Every. Single. One.
They know it.
Agreed but also am of the belief their jets and escape plan is in place ... at all times.
Didn’t 0Bamma bow before this King? Perhaps 0Bamma should listen to this guy...
Maybe a few hundred will escape in time that way. Thousands of others will be beheaded.
The Saudis say: ISIS terrorists = bad. Saudi sponsored terrorists = good. Pot meet kettle; kettle meet pot. The Saudis keep funding their own brand of the Islamic death cult.
Think about it Travis ... The trap maybe is being sprung? But not in the manner of which is perceived?
Does anyone have any idea where Saudi Arabia’s money is?
Hint, it’s not sitting in Saudi Banks. It’s invested around the world, a massive portion of it in the West.
So folks, who gets harmed with the West’s economic system gets screwed up as it did in 2008?
Saudi Arabia is not our enemy. The sect of Islam there is rabidly anti-US. It’s going to remain so. We damn well better be happy ISIS isn’t in control there.
If Saudi Arabia is voicing this concern, it’s for good reason.
Our fates are tied more closely than people know. The other more modern Arab states are as well. Think of the investment opportunities in the region. Think of the investment opportunities in the West.
They need us. We need some of their oil.
Saudi Arabia went to bad for us a number of times in the oil cartel meetings when we were heavily dependent on Middle-East oil.
It’s just laughable who fixated on Saudi Arabia people are. They have had business dealings with the West for a long time.
When the leadership of Saudi Arabia is no longer moderate, some folks are going to get a real shock. Then they’ll wish they had the Saudi Royal Family to deal with again.

Saudi Arabia went to bat for us a number of times in the oil cartel meetings when we were heavily dependent on Middle-East oil. Other nations wanted to triple the cost of oil. The Saudis argued for moderation. It reasoned harming the West would hurt if’s finances too.

yep, the saudi royals had nothing to do with 9-11. The royals probably had no hand in funding of the proposed mosque at ground zer0 either.
Is that you, George Bush?
