“Glad tidings for Muslim Ummah. There was joy and happiness at the news that King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, had left hospital in America after two successful surgeries.
Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, Emir of Riyadh Region, expressed thanks and praise to Allah Almighty Who bestowed good health, recovery and wellness upon King Abdullah
“We are appealing to Allah Almighty for the King’s safe return home to complete the march whose work is devoted entirely to serve his country and people as well as the Islamic and Arab nations,” he said in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency.
Speaker of Shoura Council Sheikh Abdullah Aal Al-Sheikh also expressed, jubilation and happiness, in his own name and on behalf of the Council’s members and staff, after King Abdullah left the hospital after Allah Almighty bestowed upon him good health, recovery and wellness…………….”
I wish the old man good health,
knowing that what comes after him, what is waiting in the wings, is bad
news for all the Saudi people. You know “who” I mean (either one of the
two is bad news but the most likely one is worst).
He said that “Allah Almighty bestowed upon him good health recovery and wellness”, which reminds me of the last Wikileaks stuff about wellness and Viagra, etc. Of course the Speaker of the appointed toothless council Sheikh Abdullah Aal Al-Sheikh is a cousin or brother of the Mufti Sheikh Abdul-Aziz al-Sheikh. Lots of Aal Al Al-Sheikhs come out of the Saudi woodwork on these occasions. I must have written here at least once that all these Aal Al Sheikhs are descendants of the late Imam Mohammad Bin Abdulwahab, after whom the Wahhabi sect (or is it a cult) was named. He is to be distinguished from the late great Egyptian singer and musician Mohammed Abdelwahab who was no Salafi and totally enjoyed many things the old Imam seriously frowned upon. Abdelwahab had some great songs about Egypt (and one about Venice) that are still popular.
Now, how did the king deliver a speech to his country yesterday while he was leaving a hospital in America? Does he have a double? Did he use Skype or Facetime?
Still, pretending that the “king” is the leader of Islam is a stretch, no more credible than pretending that an Ayatollah (Ali Khamenei) is the leader of Islam. It is a myth spread by the vast semi-official Saudi Media and some palace ‘tribal liberals’ in a couple of Gulf states.
