Here's another one from "the Kingdom": Riyadh Wants Dutch MP to Apologize for Anti-Islam Remarks

Riyadh Wants Dutch MP to Apologize for Anti-Islam Remarks

P.K. Abdul Ghafour, Arab News

JEDDAH, 19 February 2007 — Saudi Arabia has asked the Dutch government to intervene over remarks by an anti-immigration politician who said Muslims should “tear out half the Qur’an” and wants him to apologize, Al-Watan newspaper reported yesterday.

“The Saudi Embassy in The Hague has begun moves with the Dutch Foreign Ministry against the remarks of rightwing parliamentarian Geert Wilders,” the paper said. “It appealed to the appropriate authorities on the need for Wilders insulting statements to be withdrawn and an apology be given to Muslims ... The embassy has demanded that the Dutch side put an end to such statement.”

Saudi Ambassador to The Hague Walid Abdul Kareem Al-Khereiji said the embassy was making its efforts without media publicity. “Our only aim is to stop the smear campaign against Islam,” he added.

Wilders said in an interview with the daily De Pers on Feb. 13 that Muslims should throw away half their holy book if they wanted to stay in the Netherlands and that he would chase the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) out of the country if he were alive today.

“Our minister is not happy with Wilders’ remarks,” a Dutch Foreign Ministry spokesman said. “It is not the point of view of the Dutch government,” he added.

Last year Saudi Arabia withdrew its ambassador to Copenhagen over Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet, which provoked worldwide protests among Muslims.

Wilders has warned of a “tsunami of Islamization” in a country that is home to 1 million Muslims out of a population of some 16 million. He has campaigned to ban the veil, wants to freeze immigration and ban new mosques and religious schools.

The Dutch news agency ANP quoted Wilders as saying yesterday he would not retract his remarks. “I would not dream of taking any of it back,” Wilders said.

Wilders is exactly right. Unless Muslims rip out the half of the Koran that talks about killing non-believer men, raping and enslaving non-believer women and children, and stealing their stuff, among other things, Islam will never be reformed.

Unless Islam is reformed, Muslims will sooner or later force the Free World to kick the Islamic World's butt in self-defense.

Instead, the Saudi Royal Family is going to great lengths to spread Wahhabism, which is the ideological foundation of the extremist ideology behind much of today's Islamic terrorism. Mohammed started the jihad, and the Wahhabis are trying to get everybody back to that olde-tyme religion of fighting the kuffar, taking it perhaps farther than Mohammed did (and perhaps not -- Mohammed was pretty ruthless).

By the way: The Saudi Royal Family has also made the terrorists' lists of people who need to die; Wahhabi terrorists consider them takfir, even worse than infidels: takfir have known the right path, and strayed, in the eyes of many radical terrorists.

This is kind of funny, in a way, since the House of Saud is related to the House of Wahhab -- many in the Saudi Royal Family are descendents of Wahhab himself.

The Saudi Royal Family keeps stoking the fire that they themselves helped start, and over which the Saudi Royal Family may soon be roasted. (See: Deal With The Devil.)

No wonder their Kingdom is so backwards. Saudi Arabia is So Backwards....
