I don't understand why the Saudis are our allies and Iran is our bitter enemy. Just doesn't make sense when you think about how instrumental Saudis were in 9/11 and their open hostility to Christianity and Judaism. Meanwhile in Iran Christians and Jews can practice their religion freely and weren't involved in 9/11
There are two sides to the Saudis. The one side that is our friends (of sorts) and the other half of the family that causes trouble and is always trying to grab the throne.
When did Obama become a religious leader? Keep fairytales and superstition out of government. Who cares what some guy who wants to live in the 13th century has to say (that goes for the Saudi nut or Rick Santorum).
The oil relationship with the Saudis began in the 1930's when Saudi Arabia granted oil exploration and drilling rights to American oil companies. It has continued ever since. Aramco--the Arabian-American Oil Company--resulted from that relationship.
If the pope called for the destruction of all the mosques in Europe, the uproar would be cataclysmic. Pundits would lambaste the church, the White House would rush out a statement of deep concern, and rioters in the Middle East would kill each other in their grief. But when the most influential leader in the Muslim world issues a fatwa to destroy Christian churches, the silence is deafening.
On March 12, Sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.” The ruling came in response to a query from a Kuwaiti delegation over proposed legislation to prevent construction of churches in the emirate. The mufti based his decision on a story that on his deathbed, Muhammad declared, “There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula.”
Who cares. Nutty Muslims, nutty Jews and nutty Christians. I wish they would all kill each other off so the rest of us normal people can have some gawddamned peace.
Could care less what they do in their country. Not Obama's job to condemn this or to fight back...not defending the idiot in office just saying its not our countries job to police other countries.

Muslims want to destroy Christian churches....not exactly news.
But Obama would talk up an Arab Spring, but never against the violence agaisnt non Muslims in Muslim dominated lands.
