Caroline Glick: Trump Stares Down the ‘Post-Nationalist’ Mob on Khashoggi

 

At the height of the media storm over the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, otherwise known as MBS, met with a visiting delegation of evangelical Christians from the U.S. for two hours.

 

One of the Saudi attendees was the General Secretary of the Saudi-based Muslim World League (MWL), Dr. Mohammad Al-‘Issa.

 

The MWL was a major engine for the propagation and spread of Wahabist jihadthroughout the Western world since it was formed by the Saudi regime in the 1960s. The MWL founded the Muslim Students Association, which itself is a feeder for the Muslim Brotherhood, with which the Saudis cooperated until recently. The International Islamic Relief Organization, also founded by the MWL was a major terror financier. On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Laden’s brother was the treasurer of MWL’s spinoff and virtual Siamese twin, the World Association of Muslim Youth.

In other words, Al-‘Issa is not the sort of person you would expect to find at a meeting of evangelical Christians with the Saudi Crown Prince. On the other hand, since Mohammed bin Salman became crown prince in 2017, the MWL, under Al-Issa’s leadership, has undergone a major transformation – or at a minimum, a major facelift.

 

Al-‘Issa shocked many when last January, on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, he sent a letter to Sara Bloomfeld, the director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, expressing revulsion and condemning the Holocaust in the harshest terms.

  1. “MBS has cultivated nationalism rather than Islamic imperialism”

    Hopefully, you remember my thesis stating that the great conflict in the Muslim world is nationalism vs. imperialism. I won’t argue with Ms. Glick except to say that her statement observes the current state of affairs. Saudi Arabia is not merely threatened by Iran. It is threatened by Sunni Islamic imperialists as well.

    Today, the Saudis embrace nationalism. Once the Kingdom’s Sunni imperialist opponents are subdued, the Kingdom is likely to transform toward an imperialist policy.

    Sincerely,

    There is NO Santa Claus

    1. Engaging the Saudis should always be on our terms alone, eyes wide open, and with the full knowledge that they are caretakers of the worst/lethal ideology on the planet
