Ahmadinejad: Iran, Saudis provide for Muslim world's needs
2007-03-04
In his first meeting Saturday with Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz in Riyadh, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran and Saudi Arabia are obliged to help meet the needs of the Islamic world. 'Iran and Saudi Arabia are two great and powerful Islamic countries and accordingly have numerous mutual obligations and responsibilities in the Islamic world and Middle East,' Ahmadinejad said in a statement on the website of the Iranian presidential office. 'The eyes of hope of Islamic nations are focused on these two countries, expecting from us to settle their problems and cover their needs, and therefore bilateral ties should be far beyond relations by just two neighbouring countries.'

Ahmadinejad further said that in the current critical juncture, 'coordination between Iran and Saudi Arabia could strengthen identity and greatness of the Islamic world.' The Iranian president thanked the Saudis for their efforts during pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina, attended every year by millions of Muslims worldwide including more than 80,000 Iranians. He called for expansion of ties in the fields of business, energy, culture and theology.

The Iranian website quoted Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz as saying that Saudi Arabia is the 'second home country for Iranians.'

'Today, the Islamic world has many enemies who want to sow discord between the two countries, but our two nations are Muslims with a united belief and therefore enjoying good relations,' Abdullah said. 'We have the duty to confront the enemies with wisdom and reason and not allow them to realize their aims of sowing discord.'

Abdullah regretted the short duration of Ahmadinejad's visit and said that there had been 'numerous issues' that the two states needed to discuss. According to the report, the two officials continued their talks behind closed doors.

#9  The Sauds and Ayatollahs do provide most Muslim needs. Of course, these are: terror financing and conspiracy theory making.

#8  I think we should help by providing Iran and Saudi Arabia with nukes. Only, I get to pick the delivery method. I choose dropping them, fully armed, from 40,000 feet from the belly of a B-52, B-1, or B-2. I suppose 250 would be enough...

#6  The Iranian president thanked the Saudis for their efforts during pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina... and begged them in the holy name of the prophet, NOT to authorize landing and overflight rights for the inevitable allied bombing campaign.

#3  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran and Saudi Arabia are obliged to help meet the needs of the Islamic world.

Let's see, those "Needs" would be?
1.A Kalishnikof and 1000 rounds of ammo for each man
2.Every third man gets an RPG.
3 Every woman gets a 6 inch razor sharp Dagger,
4.Every town gets a Backhoe and 10 Coffin makers.
5.Food is not needed, water either
6.A huge loudspeaker system for each Mosque (Awards for whichever claims the most burst eardrums)
7.No medical supplies, (They're anti-islamic-product of the hated west and JOOOOS)
8. Cat D-9s to build a berm around each town and city, (This keeps them Holy, No possible contact with "Infidels")
ome back in 3 years to colonize the empty spaces after all "Holy Followers"
Have ascended to "Paradise.

#2  IRAN-NORTH KOREA WILL NOT DISARM UNLESS ARE COMPENSATED

Fine by me, let's "Compensate" them with an equal quantity of High Explosive, equal to or greater than any nucler weapon can generate.
We'll also be sure to distribute the explosives areund equally so nobody feels cheated.
