 In Unprecedented Move, Top Saudi Cleric Says It’s Wrong to Fight Israel

In an unprecedented shift, Saudi Arabia’s top Islamic law cleric declared that it is wrong to fight Israel and called Hamas a terrorist organization.

The mufti’s comments are the latest in a wave of historic changes in Saudi Arabia triggered by President Donald Trump’s bold foreign policy offensive focused on the destruction of radical Islamic terrorism.

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Abdul-Aziz al-Sheikh made the comments on television when asked about fighting Israel, reported Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah. The grand mufti is the highest authority on Islamic law in Saudi Arabia and has the power to issue legal opinions, known as fatwas.

Israel was quick to notice the mufti’s groundbreaking statement. Israeli Communications Minister Ayoub Kara took to Twitter to praise the mufti and invited him to visit Israel.

“I congratulate the grand mufti and chairman of the Saudi scientists Abdul-Aziz Al ash-Sheikh, who issued a fatwa that preaches against war and killing of Jews, and said that Hamas is a terror organization that hurts the Palestinians,” Kara wrote on Twitter in Hebrew.

      Sorry I got a little angry yesterday. I am a bit on the defensive side when Satan is brought up as running the Catholic Church and I know that you can understand that, my friend!

      It still remains interesting that the cleric came out and took that stance and the major newspapers did not report it.

      Be interesting to see how this situation with Trump today comes out! I would predict that further testimoney will show that illegal actions were not discussed, but time will tell.

    Somethin to talk about?, maybe they figure its time to make public they are working together.
    For all those that havnt bothered to notice these last 6 years.

    Saudi and Israel have been supporting isis as far as I know.

    What better way to announce it than with a big ol “fatwa”?

    Maybe its another way to keep peoples minds off the Saudi murder of thousands of children in Yeman too.

          8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

          9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

          10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

          11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

          12 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:

          13 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:

          14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

          15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

    Flynn is not as smart as the evil Hillary!

    When asked any question by the FBI or anyone one else, she has a habit of saying “I don’t recall”.

        The Washington is so biased, it would never say anything negative about Democrat leadership, past or present, unless it was forced.

So why did they detonate a plutonium device? CIA believed that Pakistan tested a North Korean nuclear device based …

    That theft was an interesting story, another cia “master move”.

    The guy that stole the info was discovered prior to the theft, the cia directed the Belgian authorities? (I think) to let him go and they would skewer the people buying it too.

    Big oops there cia.

    The info was offered for sale to anyone that wanted it.
    Iran didnt want it.
    People like to forget that Iran decided not to use nuclear tech for war for religious reasons. I guess their religion means something to Iranians.

    Israel was trying to sell nuclear war info/material to s africa at one time too.
    But they are good guys so it doesnt count.
