Saudi King: Gaurdian of the IKEA store in the kingdom

There is a conference in Janadiriyyah hosted by the Saudi king. It features (comical) panels and workshops about his vision and leadership. Some of the "papers" are being published in Saudi newspapers. They make for great readings for their comical value. This guy is a former member of the Shura council (members are appointed and have no power whatsoever--would you not like to join?) in the kingdom. He said: "The visions and initiatives of the wise and just leader, `Abdullah bin `Abdul-`Aziz House of Saud, have achieved in two decades for Arabism and Islam [not to mention for potato cultivation] what many leaders could not achieve in two centuries." The article later said that he brought Muslim closer together: did he mean that he brought them close to the brink of sectarian civil wars?
