Leading Saudi Cleric Declares War on "The West"

The leading Saudi cleric declared to millions of Moslems on pilgrimage from around the globe, the War on Terror is really a War against Islam.

The Saudi cleric (Sheikh Abdel Rahman al-Sudeis, the state-appointed preacher at the Grand Mosque in Mecca) explains:

"Islam is innocent" of terrorism because it is only terrorism if Moslems are terrorized. "The shedding of blood in Moslem countries is a forbidden criminal act." By contrast, terrozing non-Moslems is NOT considered "terrorism".

The leading Saudi cleric sermonized that fighting Islamic rulers was "foolish" and counterproductive, and that all Moslems must unite in their struggle against non-Moslems.

Unsurprisingly, the Moslem cleric intensified the violent language against Israel because Israel occupies land that has already been conquered by Islam and must now be reclaimed as part of the global Islamic empire.

It is difficult to find information about the official Saudi sermon.

Today, CNN aired a brief report where this prominent Moslem religious leader defined the US "War on Terror" as a "War against Islam", and that Moslems must unite against the West. (This report partly informs the first post above.)

Unfortunately, the report has not been followed up (or even repeated). Perhaps it has been yanked from the air to avoid inflaming a volitile situation or to capitulate to Jihadist organizations like CAIR?

Significantly, this particular Moslem cleric, al-Sudeis, gained fame last year by supporting Saudi Arabia's cooperation with the US "War on Terror". Now however his latest sermon that defines the "War on Terror" as a "War against Islam" signals a significant reversal in Saudi policy. A move against the US.

The Saudi declaration is serious. The official cleric implies all Moslems are at war with the West. (All Moslems are especially at war with Israel.) Moreover, terrorism in the name of Islam is permissable as long as it targets non-Moslems.

In other words, Saudi Arabia is rejecting the US and allying itself with jihadist terrorists (as long as they attack the US). All in the context of Islamic 'truth'.

CFPA: According to the Koran, any country that is conquered by Islam belongs to Islam forever. That means in their eyes all of southern and part of central Europe belongs to them. Our Party has always stated that Saudi Arabia is the enemy of the United States and in an all out war with the so-called Islamic Empire we should turn Mecca into a radioactive crater.
