Clinton's speech in Saudi Arabia

Found this over at Little Green Footballs bq. Speaking in Saudi Arabia, Bill Clinton rhapsodized Mohammed as a sort of Arab Henry Ford, and said that if cars had been around 1400 years ago (stay with me here), not only would Mohammed have made the desert kingdom the first automobile producing nation on earth, he would have even let the women drive! Charles links to a World Net Daily news article that gives more details of the speech: bq. Clinton urged the Muslim kingdom, which follows the strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam, to not resist the "tide of change" in the world and seek ways of broadening political participation "without compromising your faith and culture," Reuters reported. And more: bq. Clinton suggested Saudi Arabia could redirect aid channeled through religious charities tied to terrorism and use it for humanitarian projects such as providing drinking war in poor Islamic nations. I'll believe that when it happens... Braying ninny! Posted by DaveH at January 19, 2004 4:30 PM
