Arab foreign ministers on Sunday called on Arab states to take a clear position against Iran’s alleged meddling in Arab affairs.

Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir accused Iran at an emergency Arab League session of intentionally failing to protect Saudi diplomatic posts. Protesters in Tehran stormed the Saudi embassy and a Saudi consulate elsewhere in the country after Saudi Arabia executing a prominent Shiite cleric and opposition leader earlier this month.

The session was requested by Saudi Arabia to discuss the attacks. The ensuing crisis has seen Saudi Arabia and several Arab states cut or downgrade diplomatic ties with Iran.

Al Nahyan, who heads the Arab ambassadors’ council, said the attack “took place under the nose and within the earshot of security forces.”

“The attacks came after inciting statements from Iranian officials against the kingdom,” al-Jubair told fellow ambassadors in opening remarks before the session was closed to reporters.

The kingdom’s move comes despite Iran’s recent letter to the U.N. saying Tehran has no desire to escalate tensions and that the Saudis must make a “crucial choice” – either promote sectarian hatred or promote good neighborliness and regional stability.

        That’s a toughie … compound thought with two words … ‘choice’ alone, not so bad … pick one way at some point … but ‘crucial’ doesn’t seem to be in there … debates on choices take many years, and must be so that all bad choices can be explained 5 centuries later. Upping to ‘crucial’ stage only means all fail. ;-))

      This is because every ‘sect’ cannot allow good ideas from another ‘sect’ to be heard and accepted … or at least, not until the good ideas can be worked around, to seem to be original ideas from said ‘sect’.
      Bad ideas, on the other hand, can be explained as being caused by another ‘sect’ – until perhaps a revision of them allows for a ‘home-spun variance’ … which may, unfortunately, create a new ‘sect’.
      Some ‘sects’ work very slowly on most of the ideas, due to an evolutionary ‘Natural Complacency’.

      For example, the viewing of a human ankle was ‘an idea’ that caught on rather sooner in some ‘sects’ than in others. And even then, progress beyond that to viewing other human body parts was a very slow progression of ‘an idea’ in some ‘sects’. Strangely, some only allowed the ankle of a ‘male’ to be seen, while the ‘female’ version of same caused great angst across the lands, and even wars in a few cases. (Some ‘sects’ twisted ‘the female’ into being a ’cause’ for their stupidity.)
      The Amazonian Native ‘sects’ have been noted as being the MOST PROGRESSIVE in the thinking about that particular idea, especially ‘the idea’ that the human body is a marvellous ‘machine’ to be appreciated.
      The ‘Bad Idea’ variance, accepted by ‘some’ slower Amazonian ‘sects’, came from ‘Male Franciscan Sects’, who’s stupid clothing only brought various diseases (Tuberculosis, etc ..) with them.
      Fortunately for Humanity, SOME of the Amazonian Sects stayed hidden in the Garden.

        The Jews are the best at pointing out the faults of others.

        Jews themselves do not live as they preach! Do they preach..? (oops now I’m condemned as anti-Semitic by the Zionists….)

          I guess only Priests ‘preach’. Rabbis must ‘ridicule’. Mufti, I suppose, ‘muddle’.
          And therefore, as a ‘branch sect’, Ayatollahs ‘meddle’. 😉

          As the self-appointed High Priest of Zionism, I hereby officially strike you off the Official Zionist List of Anti-Semites. You are also included in the official “The Zionists Don’t Care What He Thinks About the Jews – Not that They Don’t Know It Already” list.

          Your attempts to belittle the Arabs’ unrivaled achievements in the field are, frankly, insulting.

          Dear Hind. As I eat my porridge in the snow, I had hoped you would be chuckling at the inanities of the world, a little. 😉
