We don't need to as things stand right now if it means turning into a failed pariah state like your very own Mullahstan. You are wrong. Saudi Arabian women can vote during municipal elections. Please, quit talking about "elections" when there are 4-5 candidates who are all puppets and approved beforehand by the "holy" and "infallible" "Supreme Leader" that has happened to rule Iran for 30 years. It's a joke which is why the entire world does not take it seriously or consider it even a remotely free election.
Outside of that 25 year old ban on driving (in theory no such law exists) you have very little arsenal otherwise. Comparing KSA/GCC with Iran is like comparing North Korea with China. Makes no sense. Interestingly enough 500.000-1 million + Iranians have realized this by relocating to the GCC and escaping from Iran.

We don't try to feign anything. We openly consider your Mullah entity, its leaders and supporters as a enemy and this was made clear today on numerous occasions for the entire world to see. And guess what, almost everyone present (50 + Muslim nations) have similar views about your entity and were present when such words were spoken without objecting to it even once.

No, they don't have to as they are not natives and temporary workers/expats who are expected to leave one day. No there are only church and synagogue ruins because, surprise, surprise, there are no longer any native Christian or Jewish communities.

Besides what we do inside KSA is none of your business or anyones business for that matter. Also an Iranian talking about religious tolerance is quite a big joke.

Elections in which we can choose the head of government, and where we have a higher turnout than America, Britain, many western countries. So the "entire world" (NATO and allies) can go suck a dick, frankly, because the actual world recognises our elections. Don't know why I'm arguing about this with someone who doesn't even have any substantial elections.

And what do municipal elections mean anyway when it doesn't change their rights? They can't vote for any of the actual substantial stuff, like driving. Even your "defence" "minister" is just the son of the king. The clown prince is also the minister, how's that for nepotism?

Ah, the 50 Muslim nations. If you include Djibouti as a "nation". Is Somalia in there too?

Well if, as you say, there are "millions" of non-Muslims in KSA, even if they are staying for a few months, they should be allowed to pray, right? I mean, obviously they aren't citizens of KSA, because to be a citizen of KSA you have to convert to Islam - which is ridiculous, by the way - but they still live there.

I can talk about religious tolerance a hell of a lot, in KSA they don't even tolerate some other Muslims, let alone non-Muslims :lol: In Iran there are Sunni MPs and religious minorities are granted guaranteed seats.

Election in IRan... when the candidates are the same..;and that those form the opposition are either under arrest or home arrest... What a joke that democracy... HAve Fun with it...

And to be a citizen of KSA... converting will give you nothing... the only way to have a citizenship is to marry one of them... and maybe you will have it..maybe.. in the end...better find a golden nuggets than a saudi citizenship...whoever the guy is..muslim or not...

go ask the vatican to open mosque and then we will see for KSA churches... :)

Anyway I see that you farsis are enjoying this weekend's meeting and are quite obsessed about it. Great. Very great. There is a lot in store for your Mullah's. The child play has officially ended. Time to shake up our religious, cultural, linguistic, military and ethnic subjects once again. After all its been 30 years since the last time. Too long. Too long. This time, we will hopefully cut off the head of the snake as our late King Abdullah used to say. And when that happens and you will turn into another Afghanistan (your beloved neighbor) and afterwards likely divided along ethnic lines (many oppressed monitories in Iran calling for freedom and even engaged in violent struggle for decades) we should help keep the fire alive as your cancerous Mullah's do in Syria. In fact we should assign this job for Syrians by then and Yemenis and Iraqis. They have a few "unfinished businesses" with your Mullah's so to speak and their supporters.

Your beloved Mullah rule will come to an end sooner rather than later. It's better for you to come to terms with that. Once that occurs (not a question if but when) all your cancer cells that you have cultivated for the past 40 years (at a very high cost) will fall like a domino.

Oh you wrote all this too? My my, you are angry. Not bothered to read all of it, though I had a chuckle seeing a Saudi complain about "oppressed minorities" in other countries :lol:

I still remember you dumb low-IQ compatriots (with their broken English) celebrating the election victory of Trump and acting like KSA would vanish due to this reason. Not so cocky now, ah?:lol: Enjoy!

Business as usual :-) USA milks KSA for arms deals. Nothing new really.

Abbas looked a bit sick/tired/old, but the man to the left of Trump did a great thing when he met with him earlier and told him that his campaign promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem would not be a good thing and cited all sorts of reasons we all know well and ended up convincing him, at least that's what the media is reporting. It'll be interesting to see if he mentions anything about that on his next destination. Something tells me he won't.

In both English (in case the interpreter did a bad job at translating the speech word for word) and Arabic moreover. Anyway practically every Arab and Muslim leader who spoke said the same thing so Trump cannot say that he did not get the message or that he is unaware of the views of the Arab and Islamic world in this regard.

Election in IRan... when the candidates are the same..

Lol. I wish you could understand Persian so you could watch the debates and see how similar they are :lol:

go ask the vatican to open mosque and then we will see for KSA churches... :)

So the "cradle of civilisation" (lol) is comparing itself to a tiny city state built for one person? Well I guess there are similarities. Both have this egotistical self love... the Vatican is made purely for 1 person, Saudi Arabia is literally named after a family... maybe you're right...

Well if you can't understand the symbolism of that land...so be it I don't really care...
As for "the same" I was refering about being the sucessor of the past... whatever it's by representing themselfs or succeeding to ahmadinejad ideology...
In the End the TRUE oppistion in Iran is being shut down...But... it's not like you didn't know...so anyway..;It's your country... have fun with it... if it falls... no one will be blamed...but only you..Iranians...

If your got to grew some balls few decades back and used it to better control those ayatollahs... you will be the top in the region by far... but seems Allah choosed otherwise...

Indeed. This was a great, educational experience for Trump & co. We have to keep a close eye on the next visit, see how the Israelis view this entire arms deal and what they will push Trump for. Then the Vatican trip will be a fun thing and then he returns to deal with the wolves in the den lol. Fascinating stuff so far.
 
.
In brief:

A successful visit by all standards with very great deals, and promising a successful Arab-American Islamic meeting. It has great implications and will have positive repercussions and a strong message to the enemies and the traitors. Saudi Arabia proves to the relatives before the far away that it is the heart of the Islamic and Arab world and everyone who says the opposite is illusionned.

D'aw. Its OK Hasani. Maybe Hijaz will have elections someday. Maybe. And maybe the women would be able to drive to the ballot boxes.



Funny how the Saudi regime tries to feign tolerance towards Iranians when his regime openly calls them non-Muslims. I guess Salman is just lying through his teeth. And Iranians don't listen to the lies of that cockroach.



Those "millions" of non-Muslims eh... Don't have a place to worship though. Practising other religions are officially banned, that's why there are no churches or synagogues in KSA.

Iran is leading democracy in the world. You can leave Islam and or convert to another religion from Islam.

Brother, kindly save your time and stop interacting with trolls who are obviously frustrated (understandably so) by this historic meeting and the historic deals signed and their nature and span. Obviously when your opponent has a seizure you cannot do much.

Anyway let's stick to topic here. Pariah states and their incompetent rulers and various slum dogs and their entities are irrelevant in this thread. We should avoid giving them the attention and time that they so desperately crave for.


In brief:

A successful visit by all standards with very great deals, and promising a successful Arab-American Islamic meeting. It has great implications and will have positive repercussions and a strong message to the enemies and the traitors. Saudi Arabia proves to the relatives before the far away that it is the heart of the Islamic and Arab world and everyone who says the opposite is illusionned.

We have to hope for the best and not only about Trump but our own leaders and leaderships. Let's just hope for the best.:cheers:

Not directly linked (then again you could argue it is) but worth posting:


Good, very good. Al-Abadi is seeing the light which has been the case for some time now. It's looking more and more bleak for the Mullah's by each day.

Saudi buying billions of dollars worth of arms from US isn't exactly historic. Its business as usual.

Says the guy who has no clue about the nature of the deals signed. It's as if a plumber was going to write my Master's thesis in chemical engineering. Anyway you have had your few seconds of fame/attention in this thread, time to return to the Mullah section where you can delude yourself by thinking (not sure if you even truly believe this after all you/your family escaped to the West so I have a bit higher expectations for you than some of your compatriots who know nothing else but Mullah rule in a economically and politically isolated pariah state) that your Mullah's and their photoshop abilities and reverse engineering of ancient Soviet and North Korean junk will win you a conventional war against today's KSA (let alone in a few years) let alone the GCC/Arab world.


Multibillion-dollar deals sealed at Saudi-US CEO Forum

RIYADH: The inaugural Saudi-US CEO Forum witnessed the signing of dozens of business agreements on Saturday as part of enhancing the bilateral trade relations between the two countries.
General Electric (GE) announced signing $15 billion in business deals with the Kingdom, which falls within Saudi Arabia’s drive toward economic diversification away from oil, Reuters reported.
The forum, which coincided with US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Kingdom, focused on exchanging ideas and exploring investment opportunities.
Saudi Aramco and Jacobs created a joint venture for social infrastructure program management throughout Saudi Arabia and the region.
“Our joint venture exemplifies the power of bringing together Saudi Aramco and Jacobs as an effective economic catalyst to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Steve Demetriou, chairman and CEO of Jacobs.
Honeywell and Saudi Aramco also announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that advances the In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) Program, which drives localization of content. As part of the agreement, Honeywell will undertake commercial efforts to assist Saudi Aramco in achieving the goals of the IKTVA Program by 2021.
Over 50 US companies, 40 Saudi businesses, nine companies from key international markets and nine senior government officials attended the Saudi-US CEO forum at the Four Seasons Hotel
The forum is a testament to the bilateral commercial relationship, Khush Choksy, senior vice president of the US Chamber of Commerce’s Middle East and Turkey Affairs International Division, told Arab News.
“We have 50 of our CEOs representing the largest companies in the US at this Saudi-US summit,” he said.
Choksy added that the political and security relationship is stronger than it has been in recent times.
“I have never seen this much optimism demonstrated by the American business community... It is tremendous progress that the Kingdom has envisaged toward the goals of the Vision 2030 over the past two-to-three years.”
Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih disclosed that the relationship in the fields of trade and investment between the Kingdom and the US is part of the close friendship between the two countries, during his speech in the “Ministerial Panel: 21st Century Partnership.”
He pointed out that there are many great opportunities to move the relationship between the two countries to higher levels. “Our slogan in this forum is partnerships for future generations, not only the historical relationship between the two countries but also a transitional phase and a major impact on generations in both countries, Al-Falih said.
Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan said that Vision 2030 came in response to a number of challenges facing the Kingdom. “The private sector is one of the important factors in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 to contribute to the domestic product,” he said.
The ongoing US-Saudi summit and the parallel high-level activities constitute “a historical opportunity to strengthen and deepen the economic and financial relations and the partnership between the two parties,” Mohammed Al-Ardhi, executive chairman of Investcorp, told Arab News.
Investcorp started this work 35 years ago and “we became an established investment bridge that keeps growing and offering investments opportunities on both sides,” Al-Ardhi added.
In her speech on the forum’s ministerial panel, Lubna Olayan, CEO of Olayan Financing Company, said that licenses being issued and joint ventures being signed on Saturday will add to the historic relations.
“We should not lose sight of the fact that defense, oil, investment and finance, education and medicine are all areas where there is a long history of cooperation,” she said.
Trade relations are evident in both established and new sectors. Choksy said that in addition to the Kingdom’s expansion in the petrochemical sector, the mining sector is also developing. “Digitization and new economy, information communication technologies (ICT), as well as health care, defense and security are among the strongest sectors in which Saudi Arabia and the US are cooperative.
The strong political relationship makes a solid basis to resilient bilateral trade relations, Choksy added: “Saudi (Arabia) has experienced economic progress at a tremendous pace in terms of accomplishments. So the political relationship is an enabler. The economic progress is a facilitator in terms of companies being able to engage and do business in the Kingdom. And I think it has come together beautifully.”
