@Afghan Maihan: Then why there was a title famous king of KSA, Shah Faisal. I think few words Arabs took from Persians and Persian took adopted from Arab when they conquered Iran Persia back then.Like the case with Persian Urdu, Hindi as well.
Strange I dont find this news in Saudi Media. The picture also looks ridiculously photoshopped.
The family of Saud is one of the biggest traitors that muslims have produced. They did not bother to say a word on massacre in Gaza and on other hand they supported general sisi and his brutalities against muslim brotherhood with billions of dollars just to save their *. they are also involved in Syria dirty games, in fact all the mess that we see in Gulf (and in our Country as well), this family of Saud is directly or indirectly responsible. They games that they are playing in gulf will soon turn against themselves, its just a matter of time. Iran and Saudi Arabia are real liabilities of the Muslim World.
Stand by Pakistan - Establishing madrassas, financing Sunni terrorists, hunting rare birds, supporting Syria rebels, spoiling sanctity of Mecca.
@Jahangir Chauhan: Well said. I second that 100%.
Correction: Will always stand by Pakistan's corrupt ruling class
Arab monarchs are not called Shah, which is a Persian word for king. Arabs call their kings, Malik. ET, please get smarter editors and proofreaders.
Two of the worst muslim leaders. One has been in power many times and shown himself to be utter incompetent and the other sheikh, well what does he do?? He says he will stand by us, why doesn't he stand by his fellow Arabs in Gaza??
@Chachoo: Build our country with our oiwn money, We do not need Saudi US money which will end up as acurse and mess for the country. Stop corruption in the country, controol population explosion Pakistan will develop better then those country who have petro dollars.
Saudia have provided more than 11 Billion US Dollars as a free Aid to Egypt recently. But i dont think so that such a gesture will be repeated in case of Pakistan. Saudia Arabia have the Forex reserves of more than 750 Billion US Dollars and if Saudia will start development projects of only 200 Billion US Dollars out of 750 Billion USD in developing Muslim countries then there will be a huge impetus in terms of growth. But alas they dont think like that.
