You Grovel to the Max and What Do You Get? An Emboldened Saudi Monarch Making Kooky, Sharia-Based Demands

The Wahhabi potentate wants the UN to do something--pronto--to halt the blasphemy:
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah yesterday urged the United Nations to adopt a resolution condemning those states and groups that abuse divine religions and Prophets (peace be upon them). 
Addressing a reception given to prominent personalities and heads of foreign Haj missions at Mina Palace, he urged Muslims to strengthen their unity. “Haj is a symbol of Islamic unity and solidarity,” he said. 
“From the vicinity of Grand Mosque in Makkah, I demand a UN resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets,” he said. “It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the Prophets.” 
The king’s statement comes after a low-budget film produced in the US, “Innocence of Muslims,” triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging from embassies and schools to fast-food chains...
You mean those abject apologies from Barack and his obsequious minions didn't satisfy the regal custodian? My, he's hard to please.

Apparently, no amount of historical (or current) evidence shall serve to convince the present Administration and its running dogs--I always knew that reading Mao would come in handy someday!--that Moslem societies, with rare exceptions, are rooted in shame-and-honor cultures.

You can't lose face in Moslems' eyes without inviting utter contempt! Western Orientalists have noted this phenomenon since at least the 18th century, but, for a modern analysis of the Moslem shame-and-honor mindset, and how it impacts Islamic interactions with today's West, _The Closed Circle_, by David Pryce-Jones, is hard to beat. Don't any of the people who make foreign policy decisions for the U. S. read this stuff?

I doubt they're reading anything by DP-J. Karen Armstrong and John Esposito--yes. DP-J--not on your life.
