Fascinating: Anti-Shia coalition taking shape?

Saudi-Israeli Contacts a Sign of Need, Not Love - Herb Keinon

The apparent willingness of a senior member of the Saudi royal family to meet with Prime Minister Olmert in Jordan earlier this month was an indication of just how threatened the Saudi monarchy feels. Despite denials from both Olmert and the Saudi royals, diplomatic officials in Jerusalem have confirmed that a high-level meeting between senior officials from the countries did indeed take place. The Saudis are worried about a nuclear Iran, Shi'ite extremism, and al-Qaeda no less than Israel is.

Sure. As many believe, even maybe, possibly, the Pope, Islam is not itself a violent religion, but certain followers may find it easy to interpret some of it that way to lend credence to their violent actions. The world is beginning to see it is the entire world's problem. Someday, perhaps, America will regain the credibility to lead this challenge.
