Mufti Gore... criticizes US "abuses" in Saudi Arabia...
Good thing he didn't try to pass out Bibles or go with his "preacher voice". What's next Al, you'll travel to the Sudan and criticize the US for having the slave institution in the past? Why not go to China and declare "The US does not allow political dissent". Oh yeah.. Algore... was this speech given from Mecca? Guess not, unless you've converted........the tolerance of Saudis is breathtaking
Clueless...
Oh yeah... Saudi Arabia, the home of Wahabism and Al Qaeda, the most intolerant form of Islam.
At least in Iran... there are Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Bahais, Hindus... the "Kingdom" has been given access to the Bush administration, so the Bushies are not without sin.

President Bush Meets with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. I was honored to welcome Crown Prince Abdallah to my ranch, a place that is very special for me, and a place where I welcome special guests to our country. The Crown Prince and I had a very cordial meeting that confirmed the strong relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States of America.
Our partnership is important to both our nations. And it is important to the cause of peace and stability in the Middle East and the world. We discussed the critical importance of the war on terror. Much of our discussion centered on the Middle East, and how to defuse the current situation so we can get back on the path to peace.
Our two nations share a vision of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security.
The Bush administration instituted a policy toward Saudi immigration in June, 2001, called "Visa Express." Under this bent rule, Saudis could obtain U.S. visas without being photographed or having to apply in person.
3=Number of 11 September hijackers whose entry visas came through special US-Saudi "Visa Express" program.
140=Number of Saudis, including members of the Bin Laden family, evacuated from United States almost immediately after 11 September.
Bandar bin Sultan - Prince Bandar has endured controversy over allegations in the book Plan of Attack by Bob Woodward that President George W. Bush informed him of the decision to invade Iraq ahead of Secretary of State Colin Powell. Also, the book alleged a deal had been worked out to reduce oil prices just ahead of the November 2004 election. Bandar publicly endorsed President Bush.
Gore complained of "endemic hyper-corruption" among Tehran's religious and political elite and asked Arabs to take a stand against Iran's nuclear program.
Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes but the United States and other Western countries suspect Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.
"Is it only for the West to say this is dangerous?" Gore asked. "We should have more people in this region saying this is dangerous."
Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister
Tony Blair, made a plea at the forum for women's rights, telling Saudi leaders that the dearth of women in the work force was "undermining economic potential" of the kingdom.
It was a forum in which lots of different opinions were expressed.
Such a complicated world. So many things to remember, facts to keep straight.
