By Micah Halpern
Monday July 31, 2017 I've Been Thinking: Qatar shot back at the rest of the Arab world yesterday. They suggested that Muslim holy sites be controlled by an international body. Qatar took a dramatic swipe at Saudi Arabia. The Saudis control many of the Muslim Holy sites, as do the Iraqis. And the Saudis shot back. The Saudis said to Qatar that this is a declaration of war. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel al Jubeir said on al Arabiya's website: "Qatar's demands to internationalize the holy sites is aggressive and a declaration of war against the kingdom." He continued: We reserve the right to respond to anyone who is working on the internationalization of the holy sites." Qatar accused the Saudis of politicizing the Hajj and of setting obstacles preventing Muslims from participating in the Hajj. These tensions will continue to fester. Read my latest book THUGS.
