In the short TV interview, he came across as having wisdom and intelligence.
Yes it is. He may not want it to be, but it is.
It is a Shia-Sunni World War...
In fact, those muslims who choose to ‘peacefully co-exist’ with those of other religions or no religion, are, in fact, apostate to their religion and THANK GOD that they ARE! ISIS, al-quada, et al, ARE the true face of islam.
I don’t think it is that simple.
Iraq is more Shiite (Shia). Syria is more Sunni. ISIS is fighting to take over both (and everyone else, eventually)
The King & other ME rulers know that Islamic terrorism is a weapon that should always be kept pointed away from oneself.
But the bottom line is that King Abdullah & Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi both read from the same Koran. Nothing can change that.
It is that simple.
Iraq is about 60/40 shia/sunni.
The sunnis support IS.
The “great awakening” and the “surge” are when the sunnis turned on AQ.
Iran is Shia. Saudi Arabia is Sunni
Syria is about 50/50.
Abdullah is a liar. ISIS is nothing less that the straight-up practice of Islam as outlined in the Koran.
No.
Shia areas of Iraq are fighting to keep ISIS out. While they have individuals supporting them, the greater Shia population does not. Same in Syria.
ISIS = Sunni
Shias = infidel enemies.
Alawites (Syria) = infidel enemies
Don't worry if you are confused. ALL muslims consider Christians and the West as infidels too so they all look the same to you.
One of the best Arab leaders.
My mistake, But the same is said of the Sunni areas.
I used to live in that part of the world. And a far less enjoyable place than Iraq or Syria; I lived in Yemen.
So, what are the Kurds?
Kewelest dude in the Middle East.
"I summon my blue-eyed slaves anytime it pleases me. I command the Americans to send me their bravest soldiers to die for me. Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."
King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz, Jeddeh 1993

I guess their oil is the only POSSIBLE reason to shed American blood for these people. It begs a question: WHY THE HELL ARENT WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD? (Dont answer that.)
Well, after about 2 years of ISIS’s existence, this is the first time I’ve recalled any muslim unqualifiedly declare ISIS evil, and islam’s own problem.
That’s a (VERY SLOW) start.
His first mistake is meeting with obama. Will obama suggest empathy like Hillary did? I assume so.
No matter whether King Abdullah is a Muslim or an atheist, he’d be better off praying to Allah to save his country than trusting in King Obama to come to his aid.
Whatever the Koran may say about Allah, the newspapers for the past six years have documented Obama’s serial betrayals of his allies, which King Abdullah should carefully reread to save himself from the same fate.
Apparently, King Abdullah missed the news about Obama’s setting up, then disregarding, his red line against Syria’s use of chemical weapons, or he wouldn’t have stated, We have to stand up and say this is the line that is drawn in the sand.’’ Anyone who still believes Obama can be trusted to honor lines in the sand, has his head in it.
He’s the one who likes to shed his security detail and slip out and wander around public spaces incognito so he cab interact with the public directly.
Jordan’s had about the best relationship of any Muslim country with Israel for decades, with a lot of under the table interaction and coordination going back to when there was an official state of war (treated with a wink and a nod) between them.
I’ve met his step-mother, Queen Noor, before. Incredibly intelligent and well spoken (she’s an American, Princeton educated iirc) and stunnigly beautiful.
