1,000 from families of Palestinian martyrs to be king’s guests at Haj

[fahd tamimi]

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah will sponsor the Haj pilgrimage of 1,000 Palestinians whose family members were killed during the latest Israeli offensive on Gaza.
This brings to 12,000 the number of Palestinians, whose family members had either died or gone to prison, who have been personally sponsored by King Abdullah to perform the pilgrimage.
Saleh Al-Asheikh, minister of Islamic affairs, endowments, call and guidance, appreciated the king for his support to Palestinians.
“This display of hospitality by our leader emphasizes that our Kingdom is tasked with serving Islam, Muslims and the holy sites,” said Al-Asheikh.
The minister said this is the sixth such initiative in a row and is part of continued Saudi support for the Palestinian people.
“The ministry has come up with a special program to host the Palestinian pilgrims and help them perform the religious rituals comfortably,” he said.
“The ministry will make every effort to ensure that their stay is comfortable and their pilgrimage successful.”

That's typical from the Sauds, after they supported the Israeli onslaught on the Gazans, the invite the one who cheated death to a super dose of wahabism. If Israel didn't kill them, Wahabism will..

I thought to perform Hajj you need to pay for the journey by your own money

I guess the fact that you're stateless Barbarian can't let you grasp humane gestures like this one.

we are asking ourselves, where was that humane largess when the following was taking place....

or this...

because the Saudi and Jordanian humane largesses to Israel , palestiniens have brand new schools...

And what is bothering most of the participants, even though they keep quite, how can a so king , can go all the way to a lost small town of Oklahoma to thank an American General that spearheaded the Iraq's chaos... that is a humaine gesture from lowly bedouins..

or by the way your lover is waiting for you...
