Unlike western leaders, Saudi Arabia King — Fahd bin Abdul Aziz – Pulls no punches and directly concedes terrorists are muslims. This unprecedented step may pave the way to remove the shackles of political correctness desperately distancing reference to Islam when referring to muslims. The God King used the annual Hajj to warn muslims about engaging in radical or extremist islamic activities. The king did not mince his words, and spoke directly to the 3 million pilgrims. He reminded them that these terrorists do not represent Islam. Maybe now the western leaders will follow suit.
""MINA, Saudi Arabia (UPI) — The Saudi king called on Muslims around the world to unite and cautioned against extremism in a message to Muslim pilgrims participating in the annual hajj.
"Last hajj season I spoke to you about the importance of interfaith dialogue and Saudi Arabia’s call was received well by the international community. This time we are in need of a dialogue within the ummah (community) to abandon divisions, ignorance and immoderation which are major obstacles in the way of Muslims achieving their aspirations," Arab News.com quoted King Abdullah, custodian of the two Holy Mosques, as saying.
"The terror that threatens the world is attributed to Muslims while it is caused by extremists who are outside the scope of the tolerant religion of Islam. The perpetrators of terror represent none but themselves even though they appear in the guise of Islam, which is, in fact, far away from them," the king said.
He called on members of all faiths to work to build a better world dominated by peace.
Nearly 3 million Muslim pilgrims are reported taking part in this year’s annual pilgrimage, which began Sunday""
