Saudi King Says World Confidence in U.N. 'Shaken'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Saudi King Abdullah said on Friday that world confidence in the United Nations had been shaken after the world body failed to adopt a resolution against the Syrian regime's deadly crackdown on protests.

"We all used to take pride in the United Nations which used to bring us together and not divide us... but what took place does not augur well as world confidence in the United Nations has undoubtedly been shaken," King Abdullah said in a short televised speech.

"We are going through scary days and unfortunately what happened at the United Nations is absolutely regrettable," the Saudi king said.

King Abdullah was alluding to the blocking by Russia and China last Saturday of a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the crackdown by President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

"No matter how powerful, countries cannot rule the whole world," he said. "The world is ruled by brains, by justice, by morals and by fairness."

On Tuesday, the six Gulf states decided to expel Syrian envoys and withdraw their own over the "mass slaughter" of civilians.

Regional kingpin Saudi Arabia called on Monday for "critical measures" to be taken on Syria, warning of an impending "humanitarian disaster".

Human rights groups estimate that more than 6,000 people have died in Syria since protests erupted in March last year.

The only thing that's shaking is king Illiterato, another crazy Sunni killer whose country funds and indoctrinates the Sunni killers of the world. But don't tell this to the ignorant idiots in the US when the only evil that they see is Iran. It so happens that all those killers who committed crimes in the US, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa in the name of Islam happen to be... well...duh...ummm...oh Sunnis? What a coincidence!

Fake camel worshiping bedouin. Save your crocodile tears please. This gay dictator used to kiss george bush on the lips. The same george bush who created mayhem for the iraqi christians. The saudis come to lebanon and govern us while maronites in saudi arabia arent even allowed to practice their faith.

Bravo Maronite. Continue sur ce rythme. Ces salopards de soi disant prince Saoudiens méritent qu'on leur coupe les attributs "Baidat" en arabe.

I hope that soon, very soon, his whole family gets shaken, stirred and butchered. After all, they are the ones who indoctrinate, train and fund the crazy Sunni fanatics all over the world. But don't tell this to the ignorant idiots in the US and Europe. We don't want to upset their tight relationship with the godfathers of filth, criminality and hatred towards everything non-Muslim fundamentalists. After all, filth begets filth, and only the innocent people get hurt and cry.
