Saudi Arabia's crown princes hosts Christian evangelical leaders

Source: NBC/Reuters

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman held a rare meeting with American evangelical Christians on Thursday, as the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom seeks to open up more to the world and repair an image of religious intolerance.

The delegation was led by communications strategist Joel Rosenberg and included former U.S. congresswoman Michele Bachmann, according to an emailed statement by the group, as well as heads of American evangelical organizations, some with ties to Israel.

"It was a historic moment for the Saudi Crown Prince to openly welcome Evangelical Christian leaders to the Palace. We were encouraged by the candor of the two-hour conversation with him today," the statement said.

The delegation also met Saudi officials including Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi Ambassador to Washington Prince Khalid bin Salman and secretary-general of the Muslim World League Mohammed al-Issa.

(The prince, who appears to be studying this POS, seems to be thinking "this one outshines anything I've ever seen." Rosenberg looks like the epitome of deceit. He's striking the perfect phony, ingratiating, groveling, yet imperious posture fundies have perfected. )
