Believe it or not, the most important Muslim nation in the world is making peace overtures to Israel. <em>Say what?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> On August 3, 2014 Saudi Arabian King Abdullah called Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza \u201c<em>war crimes against humanity<\/em>\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> However, on August 21st Saudi Arabia\u2019s Foreign Minister Al Saud told a world assembly of Islamic scholars that <em>it was time for the Islamic world to recognize Israel and denounce their hatred of the Jewish nation.<\/em> Read that sentence again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> What\u2019s going on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> The answer is undoubtedly provided by King Abdullah\u2019s August 30<sup>th<\/sup> warning. <em>\u201cIf we ignore them <\/em>(radical Islamists)<em>, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month<sup> <\/sup>and America in another month.\u201d <\/em>The King said that <em>\u201clack of rapid action<\/em>\u201d would be \u201c<em>unacceptable<\/em>\u201d. Incredibly, he said that \u201c<em>terrorism at this time is an evil force that must be fought with wisdom and speed<\/em>\u201d. What we are witnessing is a seismic shift of political and religious alliances and interests in the Middle East. What caused King Abdullah and Foreign Minister Al Saud to suddenly show interest in peaceful accommodation <em>with Israel<\/em>? Before we answer that question, it\u2019s critical to understand Saudi Arabia\u2019s Jihadist background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Saudi Arabia \u2013 the Mother of Wahabism<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> Saudi Arabia is the original home of the most radical of the world\u2019s Jihadists, followers of Wahabism. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\">Wahabism was founded by Muhammad ibn \u2018Abd al Wahab (1703-1792), who strongly advocated that Islam return to the practices of violence and strict adherence to Muhammad\u2019s teachings. Today\u2019s Saudi Arabia was founded on an 18<sup>th<\/sup>-century alliance between the Wahhabi religious movement and the House of Saud. A formal agreement was made which allowed the Saud family to run the government and handle political matters and the Wahabists to be responsible for religious matters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> Ibn Saud turned his Wahabi Bedouin tribesmen into a violent and bloodthirsty army. They burned and beheaded thousands, as Saud consolidated control of the Arabian Peninsula. In 1932 Saud named himself King of a new nation he modestly named Saudi Arabia. Saud\u2019s Wahabi followers had no tolerance for 20<sup>th<\/sup> century advancements, or for non-Muslims living in Arabia. Forcing their Wahabist principles on others, they killed as many as half a million people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> Saud has been succeeded by several descendants over time who invested their growing treasure of billions of petrodollars in palaces, Rolls Royces, Boeing 747s and lavish trips abroad, sharing generously with their own family members, but sparingly with the citizens of Saudi Arabia. The House of Saud also used its billions to arm itself against its own citizens, and to pay for military ventures against Israel by fellow Muslim nations. Strict Wahabists have objected to the presence of American military units on Saudi soil, but the House of Saud assuaged them by paying for madrassas, which are schools that indoctrinate students with radical Wahabist doctrines, teaching their students that Jews, Christians and Americans are to be hated and killed. One of Osama bin Laden\u2019s objections to America was its presence on the Saudi Arabian peninsula. Wahabism is the dominant form of Islam found in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and is also popular in Egypt, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Wahabists control the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina, giving Wahabists great influence in the Muslim world. More important are the extensive oil fields of Saudi Arabia which have been used to fund the promotion of Islam\u2019s most radical sect across the world. More than 1,500 mosques across the globe were built from Saudi petro funds over the last 50 years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\">The House of Saud has funded an estimated <em>\u201c90% of the expenses of the entire faith,\u201d<\/em> throughout the Muslim world, according to journalist Dawood al-Shirian. The Saud family lavished funds on journalists and academics who followed Wahabism. The financial power of Saudi Wahhabism has overwhelmed less strict interpretations of Islam. As a result, Wahabism is viewed by Muslims worldwide as the \u201cgold standard\u201d of Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> All of this is more than just historically interesting. It explains why the 9\/11 terrorists came from the Wahabist nation of <em>Saudi Arabia<\/em>; it explains why Osama bin Laden came from <em>Saudi Arabia<\/em>; and it explains how radical Muslim Jihadists have been successful in the spread of their radical philosophy to other Muslims, using the petrodollars we spend at our local gas stations. So, what do the Wahabists say their intentions are for the world? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\">There are two predominant Wahabist beliefs:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> Phase I \u2013 The absolute destruction of the heathen world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> Phase II \u2013 Muslims will inherit the earth and everything in it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\">Why is Saudi Arabia Proposing Peace with Israel? <em><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;\"><em><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN;\" lang=\"EN\"> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Imagine that you had a really dysfunctional family in which your several sons were all taught to be violent and to steal from and abuse others. Over time, after the boys left home, you supplied their financial needs, sending them hundreds of thousands of dollars to support their violent lifestyles. Everything moved along nicely, until, that is, one of your sons decides that he should not only be <em>the head of family<\/em>, but he should also take his violence to a new level, beheading and crucifying those who don\u2019t follow him. His hyper level of violence attracts thousands, then tens of thousands of followers, including some from right next door to your house. You never got along with your County Sheriff, even teaching your sons and others to hate him and maybe someday kill him. However, now that your terrorist son is sounding more and more like he will <em>kill you and replace you as head of the family<\/em>, the County Sheriff is beginning to look like someone you\u2019d better make up with, and even ask him for his help when things get dicey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> The comparison obviously is not exact, but the point is that Saudi Arabia\u2019s political leaders have obviously made a conscious decision to try and keep their heads on their bodies while retaining their thrones. America has been the Saudi royal family\u2019s primary source of protection and defense for decades. But\u2026.now? Would you count on America to protect you after all that it has done to undermine US-friendly administrations in Egypt and Libya and Iraq and\u2026.you get the idea. The political arm of Saudi Arabia, headed by the King, has now signaled <em>to Israel<\/em> that the Muslim nation can <em>co-exist<\/em> with Israel, as long as Israel agrees to protect Saudi Arabia with its arsenal of weaponry, which it has proven repeatedly that it knows how to use. What will happen in the Madrassas schools which today teach that Israel is to be hated and ultimately destroyed? Time will tell. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Will Israel Make Peace?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> Would Israel make such a peace agreement with the leading Muslim nation in the world? Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu three days ago said that <em>\u201cthere is a realignment of forces in the Middle East\u2026.based on the common concern with the dangers posed by radical Islamic terrorists who are sweeping the region\u2026.and many understand that this is a danger to them\u2026.and many certainly begin to view Israel less than the full, or an enemy than a potential ally in this common battle.\u201d<\/em> Netanyahu then made it clear by saying that <em>\u201can enemy who says, \u2018I want to put down, I want to end hostilities, I want to take a new beginning, make a new start, give a new future for our children and our grandchildren\u2019 \u2013 well, that\u2019s somebody that we can make peace with. And I hope that we\u2019ll achieve this.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> Wars generally end with peace agreements in some form or other. Israel\u2019s war with Gaza has caused Hamas to be rejected by Saudi Arabia and much of the Muslim world. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and others are looking on with horror as the Islamic State inflames the world with its videos of beheadings, performed by people who threaten to eventually conquer them. All of the elements are there for an Israeli peace agreement with most of its Muslim enemies. The US will probably have very little to do, if anything, with the final agreement. We\u2019ve burnt too many bridges over the last few years to expect to be trusted. Kings and Prime Ministers who don\u2019t want to lose their power or their nations can be expected to agree to a peaceful solution, except for the Islamic State issue. The Islamic State will have to dealt with, but at this point in time it\u2019s unclear how that will occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\">Peace, Then Betrayal<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> In conclusion, the Bible says (Ezekiel 38:8) that one day Israel will be at \u201crestored from war\u201d, its people dwelling securely. That level of peace, of course, will require a peace agreement. Watch the news over the next few months. Who would have thought that the King of the world\u2019s leading Muslim nation would <em>ever<\/em> speak kindly of Israel? Well, it\u2019s happened. Peace may not be too far behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;\"> But, before you sigh, saying peace in the Middle East will be great, read Ezekiel 38-39. Once Israel is at peace, dwelling securely, Gog of Magog (Russia), Persia (Iran) and other nations (now Muslim) will invade Israel to destroy it. Will some Muslim nations break the peace agreement? How long will it be after the peace agreement before the invasion of Israel? We\u2019ll find out. But, the major point of concern is that when the Ezekiel invasion takes place, the Daughter of Babylon\/America will betray Israel, refuse to come to its military support\u2026.and be destroyed because of its \u201ctreachery\u201d against Israel.
