Crossroads Arabia explains why Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir can visit Saudi Arabia even though there is an ICC arrest warrant out in his name….

I had read it years ago in an Islamic book but I also found it at this link

A book written by Muhammad Hisham Kabbani titled “The Approach of Armageddon.” It was weird because a number of years ago I woke up from a dream and told my husband I had saw an old black man with a cane knocking away at the kabaa and that the kabaa was in shambles. That was even before I had read or heard about the hadith.

Yes, a lot of religions teach that one can take a minute to say a few words and do a few rituals and all is forgiven. I just thought Islam was supposed to be different, but I am finding out everyday it isn’t! ! !

Let me sum it up a little, “Something ain’t right…”

Sparky’s right. None of it matters because the Saudis are permitting Bashir to perform the umrah, so that means he’s a “good Muslim”.

can you tell me where that report is mentioned in the Quran (that a black bow-legged man will destroy the Kaaba) ?

Apart from that I fully approve your words that God would not want such a person to behave like he does and to expect God’s pardon just because he performs certain religious duties….. But that happens in different religions, doesn’t it ?

He looks chubby and as if he wouldn’t have thin weak legs. I wonder if anyone has a photo of his legs!!!

Of course it doesn’t help that the US and the ICC select their outrage and targets, as well. I doubt Saddam Hussein killed as many people as quickly as the Sudanese govenrment (with its proxies) have done since 2003.

I think this is a good way for Saudi to get more of a bad rep. Can’t refuse anyone their holy pilgrimage…no matter what! Nice…

This outrages me because Saudi refuses people pilgrimage all the time. I wonder if Al Q or terrorists are stopped if caught on their way to take their basket of goodies to grandmother or permitted passage to go because nobody can be refused the pilgrimage. This mentality is purely insane…

The Saudis wouldn’t put the state above God…Do you really believe that? The God that I think might exist would want an accused war criminal to be punished or at least brought to some sort of justice. The God I know would not want a criminal to prance around the Kaba encircling saying “All the shit I have done is forgiven because I am walking barefoot and half naked for a minute!!!!”

There are many Arabs and Muslims who see the ICC warrant against Bashir as simply the latest manifestation of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim ‘imperialism’. I think they’re grossly wrong and damage their own causes through mindless conspiracy theories. What is going on in Darfur, regardless of whether it qualifies as ‘genocide’, must be stopped. Bashir has it within his power to stop it.

Still, I think the ICC warrant was pretty mindless in itself. An arrest warrant with no way to enforce it is not clever diplomacy—something the ICC should have realized from the start.

Saudi Arabia fully supports Bashir, period.

300,000 dead (black) Sudanese since 2003 (and 1.5 million refugees) is simply not a big issue in the Arab World.

It’s a little “internal” problem that doesn’t concern anybody else.

Saudi Arabia would just as soon prefer everyone simply drop the issue of a few hundred thousands dead black Africans and focus instead on the far more important issue of Palestinian “martyrs.”
