Saudis Want Britain's Respect, But It Must Be Earned – Not Bought
Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdelaziz used an article in the Daily Telegraph to warn the UK of 'serious repurcussions' if it fails to treat Saudi Arabia with respect. |
Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UK, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz, has complained in an article for the Daily Telegraph that his country is being unfairly picked on in Britain. It is, he claims, “an alarming change” in tone. His words reflect a puncturing of the mystique that has traditionally protected the wealthy, secretive Gulf kingdom from rigorous scrutiny.
But the ambassador’s discomfort may also stem from the Saudi regime’s raised profile in regional affairs, which makes it more of a target for attack, and from a sense that the kingdom’s unelected, uninspiring rulers are increasingly vulnerable.
Successive British governments have treated the Saudi royals with exaggerated respect bordering on obsequiousness. This was primarily down to the Saudis’ unmatched oil wealth, rather than any natural affinity. The motive was self-interest, not affection. » | Simon Tisdall | Monday, October 26, 2015

Refugees Will Freeze to Death, Warn EU Heads
THE TELEGRAPH: Leaders warn the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the migrant crisis
Migrants crossing the Balkans will begin freezing to death as winter approaches, the head of European Union has said, as leaders warned the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War.
As leaders of eastern European countries turned on each other at a foul-tempered emergency summit in Brussels, they said the Schengen visa-free zone and even the European Union itself could be pulled apart as states threw up borders to halt the influx.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said a solution was urgently needed or thousands of refugee families facing winter temperature on the hillsides and freezing river-banks of Eastern Europe, would die.
"Every day counts," he said. "Otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably." Miro Cerar, the Slovenian prime minister, said the EU was days from collapse as his country buckled under an “unbearable” influx of migrants.
"If we do not deliver some immediate and concrete actions on the ground in the next few days and weeks I believe the EU and Europe as a whole will start falling apart," he said.
Werner Faymann, the Austrian chancellor, said Sunday's meeting would "either consolidate the unity of Europe or watch the slow decomposition of the EU." » | Matthew Holehouse, in Brussels and Melanie Hall in Berlin | Sunday, October 25, 2015

Australia: Anti-Islam Party Takes First Steps
THE WEST AUSTRALIAN: They want to ban burqas, freeze Muslim immigration and end Australia's “failed experiment” with multiculturalism.
The proudly anti-Islam Australian Liberty Alliance — the nation’s newest political party — also claims that a growing number of Australians want exactly those same things.
“I do believe that people are waking up to the dangers and the problems that will come from increased (Muslim) immigration,” ALA co-founder and political candidate Debbie Robinson said.
“Islam is a problem and if we don't take steps to put laws in place to protect our culture and our society, then we are going to lose our freedom.”
It is a message that many Australians who have watched the rise of radicalism at home and abroad with a growing sense of unease are likely to identify with.
But many more will also find those same views confronting and offensive — none more so than members of Australia's Muslim community who have described the emergence of the ALA as “alarming”. » | Grant Taylor | Sunday, October 25, 2015

Flüchtlingskrise: Angela Merkel: Wir schaffen das
Sicherheitsexperten entsetzt über deutsche Politik
In den deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden wächst die Kritik an der Flüchtlingspolitik von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU). Vor allem im Verfassungsschutz, im Bundeskriminalamt, beim Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) und der Bundespolizei gibt es nach Informationen der "Welt am Sonntag" erhebliche Sorgen um die innere Sicherheit der Bundesrepublik.
"Der hohe Zuzug von Menschen aus anderen Weltteilen wird zur Instabilität unseres Landes führen", warnt demnach ein mit Sicherheitsfragen vertrauter Spitzenbeamter. "Wir produzieren durch diese Zuwanderung Extremisten, die bürgerliche Mitte radikalisiert sich, weil sie diese Zuwanderung mehrheitlich nicht will und ihr dies von der politischen Elite aufgezwungen wird", befürchtet er weiter. Seine Prognose ist düster: "Wir werden eine Abkehr vieler Menschen von diesem Verfassungsstaat erleben." (+ Videos) » | Von Stefan Aust , Claus Christian Malzahn | Sonntag, 25. Oktober 2015

Captured ISIS Jihadist Says Islam Will Expand to Europe Soon
Tony Blair Says He's Sorry for Iraq War 'Mistakes,' But Not for Ousting Saddam
"I can say that I apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was wrong because, even though he had used chemical weapons extensively against his own people, against others, the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought," Blair said in an exclusive interview on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS that airs Sunday.
Blair was referring to the claim that Saddam's regime possessed weapons of mass destruction, which was used by the U.S. and British governments to justify launching the invasion. But the intelligence reports the claim was based on turned out to be false.
The ensuing war and dismantling of Saddam's government plunged Iraq into chaos, resulting in years of deadly sectarian violence and the rise of al Qaeda in Iraq, a precursor of ISIS. Tens of thousands of Iraqis, more than 4,000 U.S. troops and 179 British service members were killed in the lengthy conflict.
As the most high-profile foreign ally of former U.S. President George W. Bush in the Iraq invasion, Blair has found his legacy overshadowed by the war, with questions and criticism following him wherever he goes.
The consequences of Bush's decision to to take America into Iraq has repeatedly reared its head this year among candidates vying for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. (+ CNN video) » | Jethro Mullen, CNN | Sunday, October 25, 2015
