Qa'dah 22, 1431 / Oct. 30, 2010, SPA -- Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud appealed to the brotherly people of Iraq and all political actors in Iraq, stressing the unity of Arab and Islamic nation and emphasizing that Arab and Islamic causes are a priority for the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The following is the text of the appeal: In the name of Allah, most merciful, most gracious, Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and companions, Dear brothers and sisters, the brotherly people of Iraq, Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you, From the site of revelation, the cradle of the Message and Arabism, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a country, nation and state, I appeal to the brotherly proud people of Iraq which hosts various tolerant coexistent religions, sects and ethnicities. This is the appeal of a person who is concerned for his nation and seeks to uphold its dignity and pride in a time overwhelmed by crisis that frustrated hope and weakened resolve to stabilize Arab and Islamic nations. However, hope does not die, and resolve does not wane when souls and hearts are united and trust in Allah Almighty lives. I say this with a heart filled with feelings of belonging to our nation and its aspirations. The brotherly people of Iraq who are concerned for its unity, pride, security and prosperity, and are ardent to serve their Arab and Islamic nation, are required today to offer and sacrifice for the sake of a secure and stable Iraq. As history has always testified, Iraq has always been capable of finding a way out of its crises and tribulations. And this has been achieved by the will of Allah Almighty and the solid and strong resolve and will. --More
