WASHINGTON DC, July 7 (Eliana News) – Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah made a personal appearance at the White House on June 29th for a chat with President Barack Obama. Eliana News has an exclusive report about what transpired at this meeting.

Barry greets King Abdullah with a deep bow and a cracking noise in his back…

Barry: Your Majesty!

King Abdullah: Hello, Barry.

Barry: My bow is getting better, don’t you think?

King Abdullah: You still aren’t prostrating yourself on the floor yet, but it’s an improvement.

Barry: I’ve been practicing.

King Abdullah: So I’ve heard.

Barry: Your Majesty, I’m happy to see you. What can I do for you? Would you like a tour of the White House?

King Abdullah: No, a tour of the White House won’t be necessary. I have Prince Abdullah checking it out.

Barry: Wow, we have a Prince in the House, too? How exciting!

King Abdullah: Well, I wouldn’t bend over for him or anything. In the Kingdom, he’s 24,892nd in line for the throne. I brought him here to measure the White House for drapes and furniture.

Barry: Oh.

King Abdullah: Look Barry, I thought we had an agreement that you were going to “jumpstart” the Middle East peace process. You were going to take jumper cables and send the peace process off to a roaring new race for the finish line. So what happened? I’ve got sleeping camels that move more quickly than you do.

Barry: Well, we were expecting to push the Israelis, but it hasn’t been that easy.

King Abdullah: What’s the problem?!?

Barry: Well, you should know. You’ve tried to push the Israelis and you haven’t done well with it either. Does the year 1948 or supposed swimming lessons for Jews ring a bell with you?

King Abdullah: That wasn’t our fault!! The Jews built sand bars off shore. Every time we pushed them into the sea, they kept popping back onto the beach. Scared the Palestinians half to death. Who knew that Jews are so agile, anyway?

Barry: Yes, Jews are agile. If Rahm Emanuel challenges you to an arm wrestle, don’t take him up on it.

King Abdullah: Don’t worry – if the subject comes up, I’ll arrange proximity arm wrestling and let George Mitchell take him on.

Barry: Poor George. Anyway, as you were saying, Your Majesty…

King Abdullah: We need BOLD and SWIFT action on this Palestinian State thing!

Barry: I’ll keep trying, your Majesty.

King Abdullah: See that you do!

Barry: Yes, sir.

King Abdullah: Meanwhile, when are the Israelis going to hit Iran? We can’t keep all that IDF equipment on Saudi soil forever, you know. We’ve practiced shutting down our radar to let the Israelis pass through our air space, but our radar operators are getting jumpy. Every time a flock of birds flies overhead, they jump for the kill switch so fast that the whole Kingdom goes dark.

Barry: Wow, that must be frustrating.

King Abdullah: It is! I think the Jews are sending birds our way just to spook us.

Barry: Well, they might find it amusing, after all.

King Abdullah: Yeah. Iran is spooked too. When they see the Kingdom go dark, they go dark too. Then we all go back up, then we all go dark again.

Barry: I know. The people at the Space Station are watching it like reality TV.

King Abdullah: When you speak with the main Israeli guy, please tell him to hurry up and hit Iran. We all want him to do it. He can use our air space. We’ve done everything but send him an engraved invitation with maps and passwords for our radar systems.

Barry: I’ll mention it when he comes.

King Abdullah: Be sure that you do, Barry.

Barry: Ok. Thanks for coming and please send my best regards to your wife.

King Abdullah: Which one? I have many.

Barry: Wow, that must be fun.

King Abdullah: No, it isn’t. How would YOU like to hear “You don’t pay enough attention to me” 700 times per month?

Barry: Obviously, you haven’t met Michelle.

King Abdullah: Ok, Barry, I have to go. Remember what I said about that main Israeli guy. No more birds over Saudi Arabia unless they are metal with big Stars on them, ok?

Barry: As you wish, your Majesty.

Arabs Pressure President Obama

The Arabs are pressuring Obama to force concessions from Israel. It is working seeing Obama’s recent actions of kissing up to Muslims and cold attitude to Israel.  This is Arab Imperialism at work.

President Barack Hussein Obama Abu MaliaBLANKLEY: Arabs pressure Obama

The Times of London on Sunday published an interview with King Abdullah II of Jordan in which the maturing king demonstrated a deft touch in putting pressure on both the new prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and our president.

The king’s comments – coming two weeks after his Washington visit with President Obama, one day after his visit with the pope and one week before Mr. Netanyahu’s Washington visit with Mr. Obama – put heavy geopolitical pressure on Israel while simultaneously maximizing Mr. Obama’s personal stakes in success or failure of this newest Israeli-Palestinian peace initiative:

“[President Obama] feels the urgency of the need to move today. So this is a critical moment.

…

Note how shrewdly the king has tried to weight the scales for Mr. Obama. Our president is in the middle of what he has described as one of his important personal policy objectives as president: to reach out to the Muslim world and rectify relations between it and the United States. To that end, he already has spoken on an international Arab television network, spoken before the Turkish Parliament and next month will go to Egypt for a major address to the Arab and Muslim people.

And now, the king of Jordan, in surprisingly blunt language, warns our president that if there is not a peace deal in 2009, “all the tremendous credibility that Obama has worldwide and in this region will evaporate overnight [and] then there will be a feeling that this is just another American government that is going to let us all down.”

Our Friends the Saudis – The Big Push to Criminalize Blasphemy

by Phantom Ace ( 2 Comments › )
Filed under Free Speech, Islamists, Saudi Arabia, United Nations at November 13th, 2008 - 3:00 pm

At a special session of the United Nations General Assembly, the leader of the religious apartheid kingdom of Saudi Arabia will sit down in the same room with an Israeli for the first time. What would bring Abdullah to do this, an act that must be repugnant to him? Answer: the possibility that he may be able to talk the gullible infidels into criminalizing blasphemy.

WASHINGTON – World leaders gathering at the United Nations this week for a special session of the General Assembly to advance interfaith dialogue should have no illusions that their efforts will miraculously promote mutual respect between religious communities or end abuses of religious freedom.

Saudi King Abdullah, who initiated this week’s special session, is quietly enlisting the leaders’ support for a global law to punish blasphemy – a campaign championed by the 56-member Organization of Islamic Conference that puts the rights of religions ahead of individual liberties.

If the campaign succeeds, states that presume to speak in the name of religion will be able to crush religious freedom not only in their own country, but abroad.

The UN session is designed to endorse a meeting of religious leaders in Spain last summer that was the brainchild of King Abdullah and organized by the Muslim World League. That meeting resulted in a final statement counseling promotion of “respect for religions, their places of worship, and their symbols … therefore preventing the derision of what people consider sacred.”

The lofty-sounding principle is, in fact, a cleverly coded way of granting religious leaders the right to criminalize speech and activities that they deem to insult religion. Instead of promoting harmony, however, this effort will exacerbate divisions and intensify religious repression.

This isn’t a low-level campaign; it will be attended by world leaders, and some of them have already signaled their acquiescence to the agenda: The Big Saudi Swindle.
