Accompanying President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia is the endless propaganda about Islam and its tolerance, mercy and peace. Over the weekend, Arab News reported on Saudi King Salman (above) taking President Trump and Melania on an exhibition about tolerance and co-existence among faiths.
And today King Salman lectured the President and the world: “Islam is the religion of mercy and tolerance and co-existence as confirmed by brilliant precedence.” And this was after the Saudis denied visas to several Israeli and Jewish reporters who had been approved by the White House to cover Trump’s historic visit.
Their contempt for the West and the truth is without parallel.
The Forward, May 17, 2017:
Several Israeli journalists planning to cover President Trump’s visit to the Middle East were denied visas to Saudi Arabia and will not be able to board the press plane.
Orly Azoulay, a reporter for the newspaper Yedioth Ahronot, and Gil Tamary of Channel 10 were scheduled to cover Trump’s first overseas visit as Commander-in-Chief, and were approved by the White House to join the press charter plane accompanying the president. But on Wednesday, both were notified that the Saudi embassy had refused to grant them visas to the kingdom, which will be Trump’s first stop. The reason given was their affiliation with Israeli media outlets. Both reporters are U.S. citizens.
Dan Raviv, an American-born reporter in Washington for i24News, a TV channel based in Israel, was also not granted a Saudi visa — despite having been in Saudi Arabia on a past occasion while with CBS News.

“I see it as an act of humiliation aimed at President Trump,” said Azoulay about the Saudi rejection. In 2007, Azoulay joined president George W. Bush on his trip to Saudi Arabia and was granted a visa.
Tamary noted that the Saudi refusal disproves the claim that the Gulf kingdom is warming up to relations with Israel. “Everyone is saying that the Saudis are changing, but when a reporter for an Israeli outlet wants to join the U.S. president’s press corps, he is not allowed on the plane,” he said.
On Wednesday afternoon, Azoulay tweeted at President Trump: “Saudis refused me a visa to come on your trip, b/c I am an Israeli reporter.” She then added: “Take me on AF1!”
The White House has yet to respond to her request.

The vicious old serpent is still vicious, and still intent on the destruction of Israel.
muslims being bigots, who ever would have guessed?
I am about to say something that will be very unpopular here amongst Trump supporters. Trump for me shown that he really has no idea on what Islam is, it cannot be stratified. He has given a speech talking about Islamic Terrorists in a SALAFIST country, he has suggested in direct contradiction to the Quran that the Terrorists souls are damned (good luck with selling that one). He has arranged to sell 150 Billion in weaponry to a Salafist country that is complicit in the aims to see the destruction of Israel and all non believers. He fails to grasp that everything they do is about Jihad, direct action, commercial, social, or diplomatic.
It certainly appears that way, doesn’t it?

The arms are needed to fight Iran backed jihadis from yemen. They are fighting for their survival.
And Trump has got $110 Billion order and that means jobs in America. Trump admin for first time in many decades has come out openly against UN unjustified criticism of Israel and questioned muslim asshats where are jews in their countries ? They were too stunned to reply !
As long as Trump does not stoop to level of politicians in EU/UK who are suppressing free speech to support jihadi criminals and islamisation of their country http://bit.ly/2r6F3cp
Little give and take is ok to maintain business relations.
agree – and if Trump doesn’t sell them the weapons, the French, Germans, or Russians will. And the weapons we sell the Saudis/Egyptians/Jordanians are generally a generation behind what we sell the Israelis.
Of those three nations, France seems to the be most notorious meretrix, despite the fact that their country has been overrun by barbarians who would immediately ban prostitution under Sharia.
That is like saying if Turkey didn’t fund ISIS through the backdoor somebody else would. If the Swedes didn’t sell steel to the Nazis, somebody else would have. And this jobs brouhaha. You can justify anything by appealing to jobs. Liberal media – jobs! Nazi war machine – jobs! Crooked lawyers – jobs! Mosque construction – jobs!
Way to go, ‘ raptor !
Bastards all. Let us keep this in perspective when it comes to reevaluating foreign aid and FMS.
The Yemen situation is a Houthi – Hadi (Shia/Sunni split) and arguably wouldn’t have happened if the 57% majority Hadi hadn’t forced single candidate elections. Either way the Sunni -Shia conflict is one that will happen as part of the quest to global caliphate. As both Sunni and Shia intend an Islamic world it is neither here nor there who is supported (but preferably neither materially) at this point. “Business relations” mean dependencies, they mean a fear of losing them, it is all the little :see no evils”, all the acceptances, gives, and lets, that will eat the soul. You are correct about Europe and I’d add Canada now, free speech is blocked allowing rapid Islamisation.
Don’t forget Canada and M-103. And if you’ve read PG/ Breitbart’s report on Hawaii’s lawyer, citing the 1st Amendment to claim honour killings stats, as peculiarly anti-Islam, you might realise the process is already well established. At least in the UK we pay lip service to our abhorrence of FGM, honour killings, Asian grooming gangs et al, even if we can do sxx- all about preventing them.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/11/10/honor-killing-in-us-justice-department-mulls-guidelines-as-grim-toll-rises.html. Note the hypocrisy of CAIR vs the Hawaiian lawyer’s claim. Glass houses and stone throwing come to mind.
Who cares who the f’ing Sauds are using this military weaponry against? It’s as idiotic as arming the SA against the SS. They’re ALL our enemy.
Sure. But what makes you think , they cannot buy arms from other sources ?
And you think Al-qaeda , ISIS taking over SA will make it better ?
Far bigger threat are the muslims within USA http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh
…and the Left/liberal Pro-jihadi Media loons, politicians,judges who want to bring in more !
Your argument was the same one used by nazi collaborators in WW2.
Spot on. Conservatives are generally very naive, like little children. That arms deal would go ahead no matter who was president though, simply because corporate culture and money making rules supreme. Defense contractors laugh all the way to the bank. They could care less for anything other than profits. That is how America works. Conservatives can’t admit this to themselves because this is the dark side of capitalism they pretend does not exist. Liberals don’t have a problem with this because they love Islam and by extension the Jihad.
Hadn’t considered it from a purely Conservative-Capitalist stance. I guess the Dollar has a lot to answer for and buys a lot of wilful ignorance. I do wonder if that is the primary purchase here rather than the weapons.
I disagree. I believe President Trump knows that Saudi Arabia is financing terrorism. Trump knew about Bin Laden before most of America even heard his name. You need to look into this more and try to understand the bigger picture.
exactly.
TRUMP’s arms deal with SAUDI ARABIA is TRUMP’s version of TAQIYA!
Proof? Just look at the Israelis. they’re not that worried.
(They are not worried because they know TRUMP will sell them weaponry far more advanced than what he’s selling to the SAUDIS).
Politics is like playing the game Diplomacy. There are always deals and negotiations happening behind the scenes we will never know about. Like it or not, that is the nature of politics.
Though he is no expert on all things raghead, he is our duly elected leader. The deficiencies you attempt to outline give the impression that you feel everyone who drives a car should be a licensed mechanic as a first requirement.
Well know the road rules and consequences of bad driving at least. We don’t all have big teams as co-drivers when we drive through our choices either.

Trump is the hardest person to predict and psycho-analyze. Even the Russians who are experts got it wrong when it came to Syria. Gary Kasparov the Chess Master probably can’t either.
Author Michael Lewis said he can’t predict him.
I agree.
“He fails to grasp that everything they do is about Jihad, direct action, commercial, social, or diplomatic.”
CONSIDER the SAUDI ARMS deal by Trump as his version of TAQIYA or “Treaty of hudaybiyyah”
(Remember, Muhammad signed Treaties to make other people lower their guard; Trump knows how to play the same game unlike Obama who was clueless.)
Trump is unpredictable (i.e enforcing the red line in Syria was an unpredictable move that angered the Russians but which the Israelis praised). Give the president some benefit of the doubt!
He will turn the table on the Saudis when the time is right. For now he needs to play nicey nicey…
How will this affect the President’s visit with Mr..Netanyahu? Will it be smiles as usual?
Huh like Israel ever recognised Saudi as a threat…
Bibi only fawns before American presidents. David Duke or Keith Ellison could be POTUS, and Bibi would fawn and grovel.
“Yoni the Blogger” on Middle East Radio Forum said essentially the same thing yesterday. Too much internationalism.
So a small arms deal was more important than Israeli/Jewish lives??
You must “observe the bigger picture.” Trump (or a pro- Israel POTUS) must stay in power. You want another Obama ?To do this he must appease everyone, especially the “descamisados “, to whom he is the last, forlorn hope. So he must produce jobs. (all his other promises are peanuts ) To do this, he must go cap or begging bowl in hand to make deals, selling weapons, yes, to Israel’s avowed enemies, because they have the most money, oil, spending power, and can bring the US to its knees by completely dumping the petro dollar, if they don’t kiss-axxx. My darling country was the first to play holier- than- thou when he signed this deal- conveniently forgetting it was the UK put Saudi Arabia in the UNHRC Chair. Who’s worse ? So you / we must take a deep breathe, bite the bullet, be pragmatic, etc. “Money makes the world go round, the world go round….”
go back to your lings
Only stating the obvious. In politics there are no friends.One may sympathise, but never let that sentiment interfere with business. And Trump as a businessman must follow this tenet, no ? btw which lings ? The cod family, Martin Lings–a good scholar but did he have to convert to Islam? or the Norse / Latin horticultural name for a genus of plants. ? Anyone who uses his / her own name to post should make a will. Lunatics are running the asylum.
You make some great points but I don’t think you can just drop a nuclear bomb on all of them. Besides, what would you do with the Christians Jews and innocent otherwise and certainly Israel’s downwind from it all. You would certainly have serious blow back and maybe the Russians and Chinese and Pakistanis might just send some nuclear bombs our way. It’s a bit more complicated I believe then we care to admit. It’s like playing a game of global chess. I think Trump is in the right place with this and this trip despite some negativity from the Saudis will certainly be able to be presented as a test of sorts and a validation perhaps for future actions.
Soddy Barbaria is a totalitarian, fascist, religious and gender apartheid state full stop. Whatever you’re testing has already failed.
I do believe that to be the case mostly in relation to their religion but I can see where what you say about other culture instilled characteristics would also be a problem. The young men remind me a lot of the way young black and young hispanic thugs and criminals operate. Its a toughness in your face and all the stuff that goes with it.
He’s playing off Saudi Arabia against Iran, and we’re making money doing it.
Only a moron would think President Trump was a moron.
You’re such an expert on morons, you must be one! Don’t think for a moment I read what I know to be a moronic rant, but after your first sentence, I just had to let you know what I think about YOU, moron!
The first part of the Koran is Mohammed’s Mecca period which contains
all the flowery and spiritual ideas of relating to Christians and Jews. Jews
like the Israeli reporters denied travel visas by the Saudis.
But the second and much larger part of the Koran is Mohammed’s Medina
period which contain teachings of violent jihad and domination and
subjugation of the Kaffir (non Muslems), Christians, Jews and severe
oppression of women.
It is all Islam. By ostracizing the Jews from the U.S. President’s trip, the
Saudis are practicing their faith. By being so welcoming and deferential
to America right now – they have secured a massive arms deal for
themselves and cemented their alliance with a powerful ally against
their enemies Iran and ISIS.
What was that old song by The Manhattans, “Little Signs of Distance”? I suppose the snappy comeback from raghead sympathizers will be that since Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner came out without a scratch, that in itself is a sign of some new-found tolerance.
Rgheads only wear that gaudy head dress to cover up their horns.
As much as there is criticism of trump and some decisions pending about the full effects of the visit, we still are seeing, albeit with humiliation from the saudis – naturally, the very scenario can work to our benefit. No one will ever be able to deny that attempts were made to work with them (except the lying dying media) even to the point of helping them arm to supposedly fight terrorism. It’s crumbs from the table to see what they do with them. Of course knowing muslamists they will gravitate to their evil and that will help (hopefully) establish decisions to breaking ties completely or at least taking other action. However, there’s more to it. One thing that would be likely to happen if we don’t sell arms and cut off relations is russia, china, or even korea might make a move. It seems like it may be a catch 22 in a game of global chess.
Lest we forget, Jared and Ivanka Kusher are Jewish and were allowed entry into Saudi Arabia. Is it possible a door has been opened?
Of course they did. Saudi Arabia is a muslim, sharia law terrorist state. Remember it’s where the infamous and wealthy terrorist osama bin ladan hailed from. Bin laden who master minded the 9/11 foreign invasion and massacre. An invasion and slaughter that continues today at the pleasure of U.S. traitors in all levels of government, federal and state. When any official tells the public this muslim invasion and murder of Americans must continue because his/her hands are tied by American law, he/she is a liar of the highest order, and we are idiots for letting them suggest such ridiculousness.
But remember, we are supposed to allow unlimited Muslim immigration to our countries or we’re racists. Or something.
The Reagan dictum “Trust, but verify” is especially true concerning the Saudi ‘agreements.’
Wahhabism (the Saudi aberration of Islam) is NOT prone to being tolerant of anything non-Muslim (Jews, Christian, et. al., to include other Muslim sects) in nature. They are especially adept in the application of Mohammad’s dictum: “To lie in the furtherance of Islam is no sin.”
America: Be wary of “The enemy of our enemy is our friend” adage. Especially in the Middle East where alliances/allegiances are as shifting as their sands.
Remember: They, the Saudis have killed Americans (Khobar Towers) and kicked us off the Peninsula after we armed them with F-15s, et. al., in the not too distant past.
Just sayin’!
One sheet-head downrange is as valid a target as the next. I used to shoot rats at the dump, but I would feel more sympathy for these vermin than for the arrogant, bloodthirsty sheep-shaggers of the Middle East!
City Council-approved vermin and disease control.
Why not?
Unfortunately, good rat dumps are hard to find, now.
A tough one for tRump. He signs a good deal for Saudis to buy equipment. Yet he has to walk that fine line while in Saudi Arabia. He can not go there and dump on them. However, he knows they are not nearly forward thinking enough.
“…not nearly forward thinking enough.” R U on drugs? Soddy Barbaria is the archetypal muslum fascist state. It’s also a complete religious and gender apartheid state.
Its a good move since whatever Trump does decent for the saudis is a thorn in the side of iran and isis and it helps keep russians, chinese, koreans and other trolls from making deals. Netanyahu knows the score and whose side Trump is on. The leftists have tried obstructing the trip like pests with tweets trying to stink up everything just being themselves.
It’s realpolitik; if in Israel he announces the immediate move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem it will balance a little better. Trump has no illusions, he has Kushner enlightening him about the realities. If the embassy isn’t moved, and Trump fails to call a spade a spade with Abbas, then we know Trump doesn’t have control of his own position. It’s still a better situation than if Killary was strutting around the White House…
It’s sad that it seems you and Dorrie were right about Trump all along, although I think Shillariah would’ve been even worse…
Shows us that the sowdies’ word is meaningless – as it has always been. Nothing but taqiyya babble in order to get what they want.
Good!! They should have shot them too!
This arms deal was already in the works and NO president could have stopped it.
Obama also made Saudi his first ME visit & arms deals were made. Ever wonder why?
