UAE criticises Ahmadinejad visit to Iran's own Persian Gulf island!!

bro it is like a virus. Sauds funded a Mosque & school in UK. One of my mum's childhood friends lives near that school after 20 30 years of living near there she turned up at our house and she comes from the same town in Pakistan as my mum where we are sunnis and normal. she was covered in a burkha and keeping her face hidden. She started to lecture my mother that only she and their type were going to heaven etc. My mother who has been on Haj and turned around to her and said in that case during Haj why we women have to keep our face uncovered then she shut up

Dear you can run but you cant hide...I read the exact same story in a anti-saudi propoganda booklet published in UK by some less then well known mosque belonging to "hari pagri" people. You have been caught with your pants down! The simplistic and dramatically idiotic twist of story defined in the event gives away its cover as fake.

You should be thankful that the burqa aunty did not come with explosives strapped around her waist to blow up your family....worst can happen without expectation.

And by the way, when raising finger towards "Zionist leaders"...What are yourself doing in England sir??

Case of hypocrisy?

What if all our accusations are like this? May God forgive us for accusing them without evidence. All 'evidence' we have is some articles from western media which says "Arabs said this, that etc". Maybe some of them are bad, but we did generalize everyone. This is not right.

O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done. (49:6)

Did we "ascertain the truth"? Aren't we harming our brotherly relations "unwittingly"? We take all our news from Washington Times, NY times, wikileaks right?



Rape Case Against Saudi Is Dismissed

MADRID — A panel of Spanish judges has dismissed a rape case against Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, a billionaire investor and nephew of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, citing a lack of evidence.

The case dates from August 2008, when a 20-year-old model filed a complaint with the police on the Spanish island of Ibiza accusing Prince Alwaleed of raping her on a yacht.

Lawyers for Prince Alwaleed denied the rape allegations and provided evidence that the prince was not in Ibiza at the time of the alleged crime.

In its decision, dated Monday, the panel of three judges in Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of the Balearic Islands region that includes Ibiza, said that there was not enough evidence to establish what happened on the night of the alleged rape, and that there were not enough facts to conclude that Prince Alwaleed was involved.

The prince’s office and his lawyers welcomed the ruling, and said in a statement that they would pursue legal action against the model, her mother and her attorneys. “No one’s character should be subject to such dishonest attacks,” said one of the prince’s lawyers, Javier Sánchez-Vera Gómez-Trelles. “We intend to vigorously pursue all legal options at our disposal, and send a clear message that such unprincipled and base behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated in a civil society.”

The judge in Ibiza who first heard the case closed it in July 2010 for lack of evidence, but it was reopened last year by the appeals court in Palma de Mallorca, based on the model’s assertion that she was drugged at an Ibiza nightclub before being taken to the yacht and raped there.

Max Turiel, a lawyer representing the model, who was identified only by her middle name, Soraya, said that he regretted the appeals court’s decision. He said that the judges’ ruling contained “contradictions and misinterpretations” and that “we will continue to try to find the truth.”

Regarded as one of the richest men in the Arab world, Prince Alwaleed is a major investor on Wall Street.

Matter of fact is people need to see the truth. We are not ready to fight, today we build our countries today we educate and build our countries and create our industries. Why can't we learn from history??

What made the west what it is now?? Franks and English had excellent relations with Andalus the science hub of the time and used to send their students there to learn science and get educated until they became technologically and industrially strong . We should do the same tactic. And KSA is doing exactly the same tactic we sent tens of thousands of students learning all kinds of sciences from them who they are the science hub of the world.

Today we should build and become strong. Khalid bin Al-waleed said two things you should keep in mind:
1- "Know when to advance and when to retreat, advancing in a losing battle is not courage but stupidity, retreating in such will ensure you victory another day"
2- "The greatest treason is to throw your soldiers and people away in a losing battle"

But one thing please Mosa. Iranians are also our brothers please respect that

That is true.:tup: What were we arguing all this time? Lets sum it up:

There are two parties: One party thinks Arabs are traitors and are in bed with israel. Another party is defending themselves.

First party's points:

1. Arabs force pakistan to act against its interests, in American way. NOTE: It is only the smaller GCC states like Qatar and UAE who are so, we cannot really blame Saudi Arabia at large.

2. Arabs played part in destruction of Libya and Syria. We must admit that 90% was played by US/NATO. 10% may have come from Qatar/UAE etc. Again, we must not blame Saudi arabia for this.

3. Arabs are supporting insurgents in Syria. There are no conclusive reports which prove so except some PressTV (which is biased). In fact, there are videos showing that these rebels are supported by weapons with Israeli Hebrew labels. I can bring these videos here. Why blame Saudi arabia for Israeli weapons? Aren't the Israelis smiling behind our backs?

4. Arabs export extremist ideology. Lets admit here: everybody is different. In my personal sittings with Arabs, I have found Arabs to be very sentimental. They are easily influenced by something. We cannot really blame them for this. Maybe Mohammad abdul wahab taught things which were misinterpreted later on? Who knows the truth? Maybe he was a pious person, who knows the truth? Who are we to judge?

Saudi princes also donate the most money to Africa, pakistan etc. We should not forget their contribution. Even if some money is used to fund religious extremism, maybe they have good intentions behind giving money? We should judge them with their intention. We should avoid too much suspicion on them as Quran tells us to.

Just now I read a news that Prince Alwaleed was accused of buying prostitutes and having sex in Spain. The case is now disproved. All accusations are proven false. What if this is the case? If we blame someone without conclusive evidence, we will be carrying the sins isnt it?

A sane post, very well put, could not have put it better myself.
 
.
So Pakistan is a great nation compared to Iran as per what you said above, in other words can i say Iran is inferior to Pakistan?


these pseudo iranians see everyone as inferior execpt themselves. I face this attitude real time when ever i go to eastern province.

Abdullah urges Iran to join negotiations to solve issue

UAE keen to end island dispute, foreign minister says

Foreign Minister Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Monday urged Iran to listen to reason, extending yet another invitation to Tehran to join negotiations over three islands occupied by Iran since 1971 or take the issue to international arbitration.

"With all my love, I appeal again to Iran to listen to reason to end this dispute, because it will not only affect the two countries and its people, but also threaten international peace and security — repercussions which cannot be contained by the UAE or Iran," Shaikh Abdullah told a joint news conference with visiting Indian External Affairs Minister, S.M. Krishna, in Abu Dhabi Monday.

Speaking on the eve of a special meeting by the GCC foreign ministers to discuss a series of diplomatic actions after the Iranian president visited the UAE's occupied island of Abu Mousa, Shaikh Abdullah said: "We have to have a clear agenda and a deadline for the negotiations to resolve the issue or take it to international arbitration at the International Court of Justice. We cannot keep this issue going on for ever."

Shaikh Abdullah stressed the importance of maritime security in the Gulf as "40 per cent of the world's energy literally go through the three islands near the mouth of the strategic Strait of Hormuz."

He blamed Tehran for failing to reach a solution to the issue. "We in the UAE are very serious about ending the conflict, but it seems that the Iranian regime for its domestic reasons is not so keen to do so. Maybe due to the slowdown in the economy, weak currency or inability to cope with international sanctions. Tehran wishes to transport its difficulties and divert the public's attention to a less important issue," he said.

Tehran Monday claimed things could become "very complicated" if Gulf states "do not act cautiously" over the UAE islands issue.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, said that although Iran wanted good relations with the UAE and was willing to hold discussions, but "our rule over the islands is not negotiable, and Iran's sovereignty over the islands is certain and on the record." (See the contradictions in this statement)

Speaking to Iran's Isna news agency, Salehi claimed the issue was a "misunderstanding" that could be resolved.

Regretfully, Shaikh Abdullah added, a neighbourly Islamic country with a time-honoured civilisation and traditions couldn't listen to reason and instead resort to exporting its domestic problems to others.


Shaikh Abdullah said he met on Sunday with the ambassadors of the permanent and non-permanent members of the UN Security Council and reiterated the UAE's condemnation of the provocative visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Abu Mousa Island.

Shaikh Abdullah said that this visit represents a dangerous precedent and a flagrant violation of the UAE's sovereignty over its three occupied islands.

"The Iranian president's visit will not change historical and legal facts which prove the UAE's sovereignty over its three islands of Abu Mousa, and Greater and Lesser Tunbs, Shaikh Abdullah said.

He expressed the UAE's disappointment at the Iranian act which came in contradiction to the agreement between both countries to solve this dispute through bilateral negotiations.

Agreement

"The UAE has been committed to the two countries' agreement and has removed the issue from all resolutions and statements issued by the GCC and the Arab League. The issue was touched upon only in the UAE's statements before the UN general Assembly. But despite the positive gestures, we were taken aback by the Iranian provocation."

The Indian external affairs minister said he came to know about the issue from newspapers so he could not comment on it.

Shaikh Abdullah said Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, summoned Mohammad Ali Fayadh, Iranian Ambassador to the UAE, and handed him a protest note denouncing the visit.

"The visit has undermined diplomatic efforts which led to an agreement for peaceful solution through bilateral negotiations. The UAE has committed to the agreement in order to create the right environment for a joint solution that could lead to enhancing security and stability in the Arabian Gulf," the note said.

It added that the UAE is committed to the agreement between the two countries to create appropriate environment for a joint solution which helps enhance security and stability in the Gulf region,

This approach stems from the UAE's belief in the need to place peaceful solutions over any other solutions, Dr Gargash said.

This approach emanates from the UAE's firm belief that peaceful solutions must prevail.

Trade: India largest partner

India is the UAE's largest trading partner, said Foreign Minister Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan putting the trade volume between the two countries at $67 billion or nearly Dh246 billion last year.

India's External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said the country's bilateral trade with the UAE in 2010-2011 was estimated at $67 billion and was likely to increase to $70 billion in a year or a year-and-a-half.

Krishna said he was grateful to the UAE for providing care and protection to thousands of Indian workers.

The UAE is home to more than 1.70 million Indian expatriates, the largest community of overseas workers in the country.

Krishna met Shaikh Abdullah yesterday and presided over the 10th session of the India-UAE Joint Commission for Technical and Economic Cooperation.They discussed a range of issues relating to core interests, including energy security, investments and regional developments.

Listen to reason, Iran told

Abdullah says occupation of islands could threaten international security, peace

UAE Foreign Minister Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Monday said that the occupation of the three UAE Islands of Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Mousa by Iran could threaten international security and peace as the three islands are located in a strategic zone, and 40 per cent of the world's energy passes near the mouth of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Shaikh Abdullah urged Iran to listen to reason, extending yet another invitation to Tehran to enter negotiations over the three islands occupied by Iran since 1971 or take the issue to international arbitration.

Repercussions

"With all my love, I appeal again to Iran to listen to reason to end this dispute, because it will not only affect the two countries and peoples, but threaten international peace and security — repercussions that could not be contained by the UAE or Iran," Shaikh Abdullah told a joint news conference with his visiting Indian counterpart, S.M. Krishna, in Abu Dhabi yesterday.


Speaking on the eve of a special meeting of GCC foreign ministers to discuss a series of diplomatic actions after Iran's president visited the UAE's occupied island of Abu Mousa, Shaikh Abdullah said: "We've to have a clear agenda and a deadline for the negotiations to resolve the issue or take it to international arbitration at the International Court of Justice. We cannot keep this issue going on forever."

Shaikh Abdullah blamed Tehran for failing to reach a solution to the issue. "We in the UAE are very serious about ending the conflict, but it seems that the Iranian regime and for domestic reasons is not so keen to do so. Maybe due to a slowdown of the economy, weak currency or inability to cope with the international sanctions, Tehran wishes to transport its difficulties and divert the attention of public opinion to a less important issue," he said.

'Very complicated'

Iran Monday claimed things could become "very complicated" if Gulf states "do not act cautiously" over the UAE islands issue.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said that although Iran wanted good relations with the UAE and was willing to hold discussions, "our rule over the islands is not negotiable, and Iran's sovereignty over the islands is certain and on the record."

GCC likely to censure provocative Iran

Analysts expect a coordinated policy after irresponsible visit to occupied UAE island

The six foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) were to hold a special meeting in Doha Tuesday to discuss the issue of the three UAE islands occupied by Iran, and the recent "provocative and irresponsible" visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to one of the occupied UAE islands of Abu Mousa and Greater and Lesser Tunbs.

GCC officials stressed that the meeting, chaired by Saudi Arabia, which currently chairs the bloc, will express its full support for the UAE. Analysts expect a "coordinated GCC policy toward Iran".

"No questions about it and without argument, the bloc will support the UAE, because it is the UAE and because it is right," said Sa'ad Al Ammar, GCC assistant secretary-general for political affairs.

Al Ammar told Gulf News that it was possible to anticipate what the meeting will come out with.

Coherent, coordinated foreign policy

However, Abdul Aziz Al Saqr, chairman of the Gulf Research Centre, hoped the meeting will come up with "a coherent and coordinated foreign policy towards Iran," noting that each Gulf state has a different approach towards Iran. Apart from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the bloc is also made up of Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.

Today's meeting comes two days after the UAE recalled its ambassador to Iran for "consultations", following Ahmadinejad's visit to Abu Mousa — one of the three UAE islands occupied by Iran since 1971.

The other two islands are the Greater and Lesser Tunbs.

International tribunal

Tehran claims that the occupied islands are part of Iran, rejecting all efforts by the UAE over the years to resolve the dispute through negotiations or by referring the matter to an international tribunal and the International Court of Justice.

Al Ammar said Ahmadinejad's visit to the occupied island "was surely irresponsible and [a] provocative" step by Iran.

On Sunday, the GCC issued a statement strongly condemning the Iranian move, and called the visit a "violation of UAE sovereignty", and "not in line with the GCC policy of maintaining good neighbourly relations with Iran."

The bloc urged Tehran to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the GCC.

The Arab Group at the United Nations has supported the UAE and condemned the Iranian president's visit to the occupied island.

However, Iran has described the visit as an "internal issue". Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi stressed on his country's reluctance to discuss the three issues, which he says are not open for discussion.

"We hope that the other sides act with patience, perseverance, insight and prudence regarding the misunderstandings that could arise, or else issues will become very complicated," he said of today's meeting.

'Confusing signals'


Al Saqr, however, noted that Salehi's statement is another example of the "confusing signals" the Islamic republic is sending to its Arab neighbours.


The timing of Ahmadinejad's visit "was not a coincidence, nor the aim was haphazard."

Coming on the eve of Iran's talks with the western powers over the country's controversial nuclear programme, Al Saqr said: "Ahmadinejad wanted to test the western waters, and check which is more important for the west, the Iranian nuclear issue, or the domestic Gulf issues."

He added that no single statement from any western country had been issued over the visit. Iran was also sending a "message to the Arab Gulf Countries to ask them not to challenge it in Syria," Al Saqr said.

While GCC has condemned the Syrian regime of Bashar Al Assad for the way it handled protests, which are now in the 13th month, Iran has maintained support for the regime of its only Arab ally.

Saudi Arabia: Cabinet denounces visit

The Saudi Cabinet Monday denounced the visit carried out by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad to the occupied island of Abu Mousa, which has been occupied by Iran since 1971.

In a statement issued at the conclusion of its meeting chaired by Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz, the cabinet said that Ahmadinejad's visit was a flagrant violation of the UAE's sovereignty.

The cabinet statement added that the visit was a setback to different efforts to reach a peaceful settlement in resolving the issue of the occupied UAE islands of Abu Mousa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs through direct negotiations or by resorting to referring the matter to the International Court of Justice.

Liberal societies slam Ahmadinejad's UAE isle visit


Bahrain groups say the visit to the island of Abu Mousa was a "blatant provocation of the GCC citizens"

Bahrain's two largest liberal societies have condemned the visit by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the island of Abu Mousa, saying that it was a "provocative act."

Arab states at the United Nations have supported the UAE's rights to Iran-occupied Abu Mousa near the mouth of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, along with Greater and Lesser Tunbs.

"This visit's timing and meaning convey a negative message about Iran's insistence that the island and the other two islands of Greater Tunb and Lesser are Iranian," said the Progressive Tribune in Bahrain. "The islands were occupied by the regime of the Shah and the Islamic Republic has kept them despite all the calls by the UAE, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Arab countries to settle the issue legally," the society said.

The National Action Democratic Society Waad said that the visit was a "blatant provocation of the GCC citizens."

"We have repeatedly called for keeping the area free of tensions that would harm all the countries on both sides of the Gulf," Waad said in a statement.

"There is an urgent need to address and settle all disputes between the Gulf countries peacefully in order to reinforce stability in this vital region and avoid tensions. The visit by the Iranian president has exacerbated the situation, in a development similar to the allegations made by some Iranian leaders in 2009 about Bahrain being part of Iran. All the components of the Bahraini society have condemned such allegations," the society said.

UAE summons Iranian ambassador over Abu Musa island dispute

The UAE has summoned Iran's ambassador to denounce a visit by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Abu Musa, one of the disputed islands in the Gulf, according to the state news agency Wam.

The UAE's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Anwar Gargash, "summoned the Iranian ambassador... and handed him a letter of protest", denouncing Mr Ahmadinejad's visit on Wednesday to Abu Musa, Wam reported. It later reported Dr Gargash met the ambassador at the embassy.

Mr Gargash called the visit a "violation of UAE sovereignty".

The move came after the UAE recalled its ambassador to Tehran and lodged a protest with the UN over the visit, stressing
the territorial dispute should be resolved in talks or at the International Court of Justice.

On Sunday, Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed met ambassadors representing Security Council member states in Abu Dhabi to convey the "UAE's condemnation of this provocative visit," Wam said.

Tehran has insisted Mr Ahmadinejad's trip, during which he said historical documents proved "the Persian Gulf is Persian", is a purely "domestic issue".

Foreign ministers of the six GCC states are scheduled to hold a meeting in the Qatar capital, Doha, on Tuesday
to discuss the dispute.

Both Iran and the UAE claim territorial sovereignty over Abu Musa and two other islands in the Gulf. Iran took control in 1971 of the islands of Abu Musa, Lesser Tunb and Greater Tunb.

The Iranian embassy refused to comment further "due to the sensitivity of the issue".
