Official Saudi opinion: Rome to be controlled by Islam.

Imagine the uproar that would result from the Pope's saying that Christians will control the Kabah and introduce Christianity to Saudi Arabia.

Here's the flip side of that and don't hold your breath waiting for the MSM to jump on this. Such threats are just fine so long as they come from the mouth of a Saudi:

Saudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-‘Arifi, Imam of the King Fahd Defense Academy, who declared recently: “We will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it. Yes, the Christians, who carve crosses on the breasts of the Muslims…will yet pay us the Jiziya [poll tax paid by non-Muslims under Muslim rule], in humiliation, or they will convert to Islam…”
