A Saudi Embassy in Iraq
The world center of radical Islam, a religious apartheid kingdom that exports and promotes jihad ideology, subverts moderate Islam and destroys local cultures, and supplies more than half of the foreign holy warriors currently in Iraq, is planning to open an embassy in Baghdad: Saudis Begin Talks on Opening Embassy in Iraq.
And we’re supposed to think this will help.
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 1 — Saudi Arabia announced Wednesday that it has begun talks with Iraq about opening an embassy, a move that could be a major boost to U.S. diplomacy and reconciliation efforts.

At Iran’s Fars News, we see one way in which the Saudis will “boost reconciliation efforts:” Decree for Destruction of Shiite Sites Devised by Zionists. (Here’s the link: english.farsnews.ir. I’m not making it a hyperlink because the Fars News web site often attempts to install nasty software on visitors’ computers.)
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- The Fatwa for the destruction of Shiite’s holy sites and shrines has been made up by the Zionists and enemies of Islam, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Culture and Information Iyad bin Amin Madani said.
Speaking in a meeting with Iran’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia Seyed Mohammad Hosseini in Riyadh on Wednesday, Madani warned that religious strife can prevail in all Islamic countries and called on all political and religious leaders as well as intellectuals to prevent such strife.
He said following the objections to the decree by Muslim scholars he has asked all Islamic jurisprudents, the chief Mufti, the Supreme Council of Muftis, the High Council of Judiciary and other religious scholars about the source of the fatwa, “but all of them expressed surprise and said they were not informed of such a decree.”
The Saudi official further underlined that if such a fatwa exists, “it is certainly a product of the Zionists and enemies of Islam.”
