    Default Saudi royal says Turkey is part of a 'triangle of evil' with Iran and Islamist group

    Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has described Turkey as part of a 'triangle of evil' along with Iran and hardline Islamist groups.

    Egypt's Al-Shorouk newspaper reported on Wednesday that the Saudi prince also accused Turkey of trying to reinstate the Islamic Caliphate, abolished nearly a century ago when the Ottoman Empire collapsed.

    The Crown Prince at the same time dismissed his country's long-running dispute with Gulf neighbor Qatar as 'very trivial' - although he conceded that it might drag on for a long time.

    "Why Saudi Arabia and the UAE are targeting Turkey"

    "It was President Erdogan's firm stand and leadership on the US decision on Jerusalem that has provoked the Saudi-Emirati axis to target Turkey in a vile media campaign."

    "Targeting Turkey was therefore a desperate attempt to divert attention from the popular criticism across the region which the Saudi-UAE alliance faced over their stand on Jerusalem."

    If one was a heavy partisan poster they could imply that it is all due to Trump's ignorance in the Middle East displayed in moving the US embassy, there was a reason prior President's didn't think it would be a wise decision for a reason, but I'd wager there are deep historical animosities that exist between the two nations

    Unfortunate part is that it seemingly gave Iran an opening to separate Sunni nations

    The Saudis want no part of any Caliphate because the last one was such a dud.. Most of the Arab world stagnated and lapsed into illiteracy.

    Turkey is not assembling a Caliphate, you din't read the articles, it's all accusations leveled against Turkey to counter the Saudi's vanilla response to Trump moving the US embassy

    The condemnation is expected, but afterwards, the Saudi's weren't that too concerned with it, which annoyed Turkey and led to Erdogan attacking them, what is posted above is the Saudi's attempt to change the focus

    Where to start? The Muqaddimah, surgery, inoculation, soap, astronomy, the invention of basic chemistry practices, physics, etc, etc. Too many things to list really. In 1979 Mohammad Abdus Salam won a Nobel prize in Physics.
