Rif`at Al-Asad's son on Saudi King

Durayd Al-Asad (Bashshar's cousin) wrote this on FB and a Syrian reader sent it to me:
"Douraid Alassad أخي مالك , الملك عبد الله بمثابة العم بالنسبة لي ناهيك عن الصفات الخاصة التي يتحلى بها الرجل الإنسان . من عروبية و حكمة و تفان من أجل شعبه و وطنه و العالمين العربي و الإسلامي .
فقط كلمة في حق هذا الرجل .كلمة لم تعطه حقه حتى.
"
(Brother Malik.  King Abdullah is like an uncle for me, not to mention the special traits that are enjoyed by this human man.  From Arabism to wisdom and dedication for the sake of his people and homeland, and the Islamic and Arab homeland.  Just a word of truth about this man.  A word that did not even do him justice.)  

PS Rif`at has one son in London who opposes the regime, and another son in Syria who defends the regime.  But both really hearts uncle King `Abdullah.
