Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah for the first time warns his people not to back al Qaeda. In landmark remark carried by official news agency Thursday, the de facto Saudi ruler declared âHe who protects or sympathizes with a terrorist is himself a terrorist and will be punished. There is no room for neutrality.â
Yeah. Floored me, too. Here's the SPA version...The Crown Prince said:
"Brother citizens,
In the conflict between the power of rights and the power of evils, there is no place for neutrals, there is no room for the hesitant, but there is only one path before the honorable believers which is to stand in one line against the corrupt oppressors in the holiest place on earth - Makkah and Al-Madinah. I am calling on every citizen to remain as a security man, to be a support to the security man, and to be an eye, ear and hand for the security man. I warn every deceptive or misguided person by saying clearly: 'whoever harbors a terrorist is a terrorist like him, whoever sympathize with a terrorist is a terrorist like him and those who harbor and sympathize with terrorism will receive their just and deterrent punishment.' I pray to God to have mercy for our martyrs and we will go ahead on our path believing in God, depending upon him and remaining confidant of victory." | That sounds suspiciously like "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists." But I guess we'll have to wait and see if His Excellency shuts down the Global Campaign for Resisting Aggression and cuts off Dr. Hawali's head... |
