RIYADH, Jan 3 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia said on Sunday it had severed ties with Iran over the storming of the Saudi embassy in Tehran, in a worsening diplomatic crisis between the regional rivals following the kingdom’s execution of a prominent Shi’ite cleric.

Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a news conference Iran’s diplomatic mission and related entities in Saudi Arabia had been given 48 hours to leave. He said Riyadh would not allow the Islamic Republic to undermine the Sunni kingdom’s security.

The Muslim leaders need to be more measured in their responses and tone down their rhetoric.

As the Muslim powers try to find ways to please the Western masters; they should try equally hard to coexist with other Muslims, within a frame work of mutual respect and coexistence.

  1. As I say many times, if Sunni and Shia leader keep hating, harming and accusing each other, and then he watch out, both will be destroyed one and other. God’s warning never be wrong—.wait and see..more innocent people will suffer and die…nauzubillah.

    Hatred is the seed of the darkness and violence–but love is the seed of peace and happiness. this is the main key to have peace.

    With love

  2. PROVERB;
    A wise leader when he talks please others, but extremist leader try to hurt others.

    A wise leader bring peace on his people, but extremist try to deceive his people and bring disaster on them.

    Hate speech is the seed of the darkness, and conflict, but love is the seed of peace and happiness.

    What we see today in Middle East are extremist leaders, only few wise leaders.
    So the fruit of decades of hate teaching between Sunni scholars and Shia scholars is coming now to the fruition. Millions innocent people have been suffering, displacing and died. Nauzubillah. What is wrong with Muslim scholars today? they claim they know religion very well, but they can not bring peace in his world. Conversely they bring disaster instead. Muslim scholars have to take responsibility.

    May God guide Muslim scholars to the right path of Islam,Amen

    Was Salam
