King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz gives interview to 'Al-Seyassah' 7

Q: U.S. President Barack Obama will address the Islamic world from
Cairo in a few days. What is your comment?

A: We are waiting for what President Obama will say. We are neither
war advocates nor problem seekers, we are peace advocates. We want to
invest in the development of our countries and peoples. We are facing
an accelerated time that we hope to use in a way that serves the
people, and we believe that the loss lies in the time that goes in
vain without any achievements. Let us wait for what the U.S.
President will say; perhaps his speech will include justice to Arab
and Muslim causes. Such justice has always been the request we
presented to the successive U.S. administrations.

Recently we held a conference on dialogue of religions in the United
States. During the conference, we talked about our demands to
establish peace on earth, and leave to Allah all accounts. At that
time, we received great active response from various capitals of the
world and decision-makers. We continue to seek more of these positive
results on the ground.

The United States is a great and important country not only to our
Arab zone, but also to the world at large. I repeat here that we ask
nothing from it other than fairness and justice to the causes of
Arabs and the Islamic religion which advocates tolerance and
compassion as well as noble deeds.

Our religion is a religion of justice and moderation, a religion of
tolerance, love and brotherhood and a religion that encourages people
to enrich the relationships with each other. It is my message that I
renew, please brother Ahmed convey it to whoever is willing to
realize what Allah has ordered.
