Rueben ,   Israel   (06.04.08)
2. Ha, just let a Rabbi walk into that meeting and let's see
how they will peace- ,   fully coexist w/him!   (06.04.08)

Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.04.08)
4. End Islamic extremism by abolishing Sharia!
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (06.04.08)
5. Islam at work..
People..you have to be more patient ...look, catholic church needed almost two centuries for changing bigotry and accept (so-so) other religions and belief and stop killing Jews, protestants, and so one So, let 600 hundred years more to Islam to become tolerant. Right?
Savonarola ,   Castilla   (06.05.08)
6. "Extremism" = Opposing the House of Saud
Everything else in Islam is OK.
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.05.08)
7. Dialogue??? What's there to dialog about?
We mind our business, and they should mind theirs. We got nothing to dialog about with them.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (06.05.08)
8. There is big difference between moderate moslems and the
radical ones. There are politicins like King Abdulalh and Rafsanjani who are wise and understand the danger of Radical Islam and how it can change their countries to another North Korea or Afghanistan. And at the end of the day they are the ones who have to face radical Islam before Israel does and they have to choose which side they will end up.
Asher ,   NY, USA   (06.05.08)
9. What a bunch of crap
Saudi Arabia is one of the root of radical Islam. Abdullah should first eradicate radical Islam from official Saudi ideology. Saudis are largely responsible of Arab wars against Israel.
Frank ,   Canada   (06.05.08)
10. we'll remain nazis, let's end nazi extremism... that's cute!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (06.05.08)
11. Prince Bandar, Princess Haifa, Abdullah supported 9/11
Who is this jihadist killer fooling? Saudi charities supported Al Qaeda and the 911 atrocities. Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar's wife, Haifa gave, through an intermediary, thousands of dollars to two of the September hijackers. Bush family maintain her innocence. White House ordered the FBI to fly dozens of Saudis and bin Laden family members out of the country only hours after the atrocities when FAA grounded all domestic flights. Bush did this at a time when his thousands of his fellow citizens lie smouldering beneath the Trade Center towers rubble! This American president is a beast. Anyone seen the pictures of George W. Bush holding hands and kissing this jihadist killer, King Abdullah? Abudullah demanded Bush destroy Israel, August 2001. Bush said he would comply and immediately after the 911 atrocities Bush unveiled his vision for a Palestinian terror state in Israel. Bush family is in bed with these jihadist killers. Any wonder Bush has sold Israel out to traitors like Ehud Olmert and our enemies?

12. Spoken like a truel wolf...
in sheep's clothing. Yes, the Saudis just export wahhabism..no biggie right? just radical "islam." they just don't allow those from Israel or those with Israelis stamps in their passports to enter their country. no biggies. just peace loving. oh yeah, what about human rights, religion rights? just wondering peace loving full of shitter.

13. Israel-Saudia natural allies against Iranian threat
Every initiative by the Saudis is about oil. The price is high and they want to ensure that peace reigns in the Straits of Tiran. Its about containing Iran, even though the Islamic Republic, no precisely because the Iranians are invited to the conference. With the Middle East in tatters in the wake of the Bush invasion of Iraq, and with the obvious distraction of that adventure for US deterrent policy towards the Sunni oil monarchies, the Saudis have what to fear. Regardless of who becomes US president American troops will remain in Iraq for years to protect the Peninsula from Iranian adventurism. But will the US be able to also directly warn off the Iranians? A two-front war with Iran? The Saudis have what to worry about! But if they turn to the north, give up the impossible Bush dream a Palestine-Israel peace (the Palestinians cannot even make peace among themselves) and invest their money to encourage an Israel-Syria peace, then not only will they have moved Iran out of Syria, but will have achieved a withdrawal of Iran and her influence from the Levant, and her northern flank. She will also be able to achieve more than peace with Israel, but military backup and strategic depth in the confrontation with the common threat, Iran. Not only does Israel have the best army but, enough warheads to balance Iran for decades to come.

14. A great, positive message
Islam is changing. The moderates are starting to speak up and wrest control from the fanatics.We should be applauding this...and encouraging it..instead of always assuming the worst and looking backwards instead of forward....
Eyal ,   Jerusalem   (06.05.08)
15. # 8
Rafsanjani was named as a suspect in arranging the bombing in Buenos Aires. He's a moderate? Pragmatic maybe but moderate, no way.

16. How did Islam penetrate our societies ?
Before 9/11 Muslim terrorists were building global networks again under the American and European radar. We had other things to consider like pacifying Mideast potentates for the oil under their sands. It didn't matter that countries like Saudi Arabia were spreading Wahhabiism (strict Shariah Islam) which taught Muslim children that Islam is not only superior to all other religions but, one day Islam would eliminate these "false" religions under "Shariah" law and Islam would dominate the world. These children grew up and became brainwashed like "Manchurian candidates". They filtered into other countries with the help of foreign services of the West - like the U.S. State Department. Each of the Western nations had their own foreign services who allowed Muslims to flood into their nation even to the point of subsidizing their housing, education, medical care and much more. Nothing was withheld to pacify the Muslim Arabs because they had oil under their feet. So our American Universities are clogged with Arab Muslim "students", opting for classes in Nuclear Physics, Chemistry and Biology - all of which would eventually benefit the military terrorist organizations in their country of origin. Colleges are building foot-baths for Muslims to wash their feet before they pray - a minor concession as described at : http://xrl.us/bjfhn

17. Abdullah to mandatorily-veiled women: "Reject extremism."
Give me a freaking break. I lived in Saudi Arabia for 17 years.
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (06.05.08)
18. More taqiyya from the folks who gave us 9/11
Millie ,   Israel   (06.05.08)
19. LOL, the meeting of the so-called "moderates"
Rafsanjani and Ahmedinijad share the same "wipe off the map" Israel policy. It was Rafsanjani who said this years before Ahmedinijad took power.
Logic ,   Israel   (06.05.08)
20. mecca
wonder if the saudis will let us into mecca
adam ,   israel   (06.05.08)
21. Why not JUST IRADICATE $AUDI ARABIA?
When the first i$lamic bombs start to drop on Tel Aviv (G-d forbid) Simply PULVERIZE Mecca first, then Medina, Then Cairo, Dimasq, Amman & Teheran, etc. Maybe then they'll get the message.
EDU LOBO ,   Rio de Janeiro Brasi   (06.05.08)
22. But, in the meantime
The sunni Arabs are being beaten and abused in Iran.
(06.05.08)
23. #16
((Wahhabiism which taught Muslim children that Islam is not only superior)). Wahhabies' view was to filtrate Islam from new introduced ideas & customs which contradict the basics of Islam; like worshiping: shrines, idols, or non-Godly declared sacred people. This strengthens the rabbi's opinion; let people who understand other people's ideology (not religion) handle the matter.

24. Hilarious another PR spoof.
Saudi Arabia must be getting nervous now that Bushs' time is nearly up. Saudi Arabia fingures it's cheaper for them to talk than to make a real peace. Peace? From the Saudis? lol funny. Peace to them means an end of Americas paying for their war.
petra ,   usa   (06.05.08)
25. SO STOP FUNDING IT YOU WAHABI WACKOS!
PUT UP ,   OR SHUT UP!   (06.05.08)
26. END HIS RICH EMPIRE AND INVITE HIM TO TRUE ISLAM.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU ,   TRULY HATED THEM.   (06.05.08)
27. Religious books
An interfaith dialogue is not possible in Saudi Arabia. How can one invite religious leaders and prohibit they take their religious objects on their trip ?
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (06.05.08)
28. islamic moderates
they are the ones who have oil-the extemists are their poorer relations who want to take the oil--this is the fault of bush-cheney and the zionists!
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (06.05.08)
29. Saudi king: End Islamic extremism - let's start with Iran
First let's take out the Iranian leaders who are nothing but extreme in their views.
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (06.05.08)
30. The pot calling the kettle black.....
Who funded 9/11 terrorists? Who funded the pathetic schools the sociopaths attended? Who continues to fund hard-line schools all over the world? Saudi Arabia, land hypocrits, kingdom of Bullsh--. If the King is truly turning over a new leaf, let him declare full peace with Israel and let a synagogue be built in his glorious country. This is all worthless talk by a petro-bully. Nothing less. He told his 'friend' Bush to screw off. Why should anyone listen to this guy? He's pathetic. He has a big wallet, but he's pathetic none the less.
