Saudi FM: Qatar call to internationalize holy sites an ‘act of war’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Sunday "Qatar...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... 's request to internationalize the holy sites is an aggressive act and a declaration of war against the kingdom." "We reserve the right to respond to any party working in the field of internationalization of the holy sites," al-Jubeir said in an interview with Al Arabiya and Al Hadath on the sidelines of the four-way meeting in Manama. Previousely, Adel al-Jubeir rejected Qatar’s attempts to politicize Hajj matters and reiterated that Qataris were welcome to perform the pilgrimage. "Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... rejects Qatar’s attempt to politicize the arrival of Qatari pilgrims into the kingdom," Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said during a presser with his Emirati, Bahraini and Egyptian counterparts in Manama. "The kingdom’s history is clear in facilitating the arrival of pilgrims," he added. Posted by: Fred 2017-07-31 |
