Saudis Quotes - Page 8

• Look, in particular, at the people who, like you, are making average incomes for doing average jobs- bank vice presidents, insurance salesmen, auditors, secretaries of defense- and you'll realie they all dress the same way, essentially the way the mannequins in the Sears menswear department dress. Now look at the real successes, the people who make a lot more money than you- Elton John, Captain Kangaroo, anybody from Saudi Arabia, Big Bird, and so on. They all dress funny- and they all succeed.

• El problema se encuentra en la cuna del Islam, en La Meca, Arabia Saudí, donde esta interpretación del Islam se ha extendido por el mundo en las últimas cuatro décadas, creando grupos de militancia desde Indonesia, hasta ahora, San Bernardino, California, ataque vicioso. Tenemos que recuperar la fe. Y tenemos que recuperarla con los principios de la paz, la justicia social y los derechos humanos, los derechos de la mujer, y secularizar la gobernanza.

• There are hundreds and hundreds of followers of Islamic State around Europe and the U.S. The Saudis are showing this. And all you have to do is look at the conversation inside of our mosques and inside of our communities.

• Se trata de un libro titulado Las mujeres a la sombra del Islam. Está publicado por el gobierno de Arabia Saudita. Lo recogí en Pakistán, donde las Damas Auxiliares Talibán, y nuestra joven esposa en California habría recogido un artículo como este. Y expone esa ideología Salafi-Wahhabi que es, en última instancia, el veneno tóxico que está cruzando todas estas fronteras.

• A child who had been introduced to misery in Saudi Arabia, a teenager who went to wage jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, a deeply devout Muslim who had graduated with honors in medicine, a man who had fed a stranger to wild dogs in Damascus, a zealot who had dosed three foreigners with smallpox and watched them die in agony, gave thanks to Allah for the blessings that had been bestowed upon him.

• Si eres el rey de Jordania, si formas parte de la familia real de Arabia Saudí y él ha hecho este trato con Irán que les da 150.000 millones de dólares para librar una guerra e intentar extender su imperio por Oriente Medio, ¿por qué querrías hacerlo ahora? Cuando esté frente al rey Hussein de Jordania y le diga: "Vuelve a tener un amigo, señor, que estará a su lado para librar esta batalla", cambiará de opinión.

• Si nos fijamos en la lista de los principales importadores de trigo en 2010, casi la mitad de ellos son regímenes de Oriente Medio: Egipto, Argelia, Irak, Marruecos, Yemen, Arabia Saudí, Libia y Túnez. Egipto es el primer importador de trigo del mundo. Túnez lidera el consumo de trigo per cápita en todo el mundo. Así que no es de extrañar que las revoluciones comenzaran con tunecinos agitando baguettes en las calles y egipcios llevando cascos hechos de pan.

• Israel is the American watchdog in the Middle East, and that's why the Palestinians remain victims of one of the longest military occupations. They don't have oil. If they were the Saudis, they wouldn't be in the position they are now. But they have the power of being able to upset the imperial order in the Middle East.

• I think oil prices are down for two reasons. One is, there is a lot of supply. There is a lot of supply because the U.S. now produces a lot of oil and there is a lot of supply because the Saudis seem to want to produce a lot of oil, maybe to punish the Iranians and the Russians.

• OPEC production went from 30 million barrels a day to 33 million. They flooded the market, and it's lost them a lot of money. Look at the Saudis: they just floated a $17.5 billion debt offering, they earlier borrowed $10 billion from a group of international banks; they're selling part of Aramco - they're desperate for money.

• So in a sense, that little war in the Levant had a horrendous effect in terms of the stability of countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, over the long term. Because once again, it proved to Muslims that their governments couldn't protect them and would side with the enemy.

• You become an anti-Semite. And as powerful as the Israeli lobby is, the Saudi lobby is just as powerful. In fact, the Saudis probably have more money to throw around, and they suborn former U.S. intelligence officials, former ambassadors, former generals to support them from within by lobbying the Congress and other American institutions.

• It's going to become clear that the impact of our policies rather than our way of life is what's attracting animosity and warfare on us. And I think there is going to be a surge from the bottom up that will begin to straighten things out. Because Americans, in the long run, are not going to want their daughters and their sons to die overseas so the al Saud family can continue raping Saudi Arabia's revenue.

• There is always the risk that a conflagration in the Middle East becomes larger and more dangerous. In this scenario, we discover that the Arab Spring was merely the prelude to a deeper and much farther-reaching upheaval in the region that has greater impact on countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

• The question about the Salafi is an important question as I say in Arab Awakening, and have often repeated since. I am really underlining the importance of this, because we really don't have very good memories. Remember - the Taliban in Afghanistan were not at all politicised in the beginning. They were just on about education. And then they were pushed by the Saudi and the Americans to be against the Russian colonisation, and as a result they came to be politicised.
