King Abdullah ready to embrace the Deen of Jews and Christians

On 24/3/08 King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia speaking at a seminar on ‘Culture and the Respect of Religions’ said, “The idea is to ask representatives of all monotheistic religions to sit together with their brothers in faith and sincerity to all religions as we all believe in the same God…” The remarks were enthusiastically received by the World Council of Churches and the Bush administration. Presidential spokeswoman Dana Perino said,” … it can only give us hope that there would be further recognition of everyone's right to freedom and freedom of expression and religion. So we are encouraged by it.” Has not the King heard the all too often derogatory remarks made by the Pope and other western leaders about Islam? Is he not aware of the words of Allah regarding Jews and Christians? Allah says: “the Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their own Deen” [TMQ 2:120]
