Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to attend an extraordinary summit of Muslim leaders in the holy city of Mecca next week at the invitation of the Saudi king, an aide said on Monday. Ahmadinejad will attend the summit “to discuss the development in Muslim countries,” Mohammad Reza Forqani, head of international affairs in the president’s office, told the official IRNA news agency. Forqani said the two-day summit will start on August 14. Saudi Arabia last month called for the summit with the aim of “unifying the ranks” of Muslims. It hosts the headquarters of the 57-member pan-Muslim body, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, in the Red Sea city of Jeddah. King Abdullah invited Ahmadinejad, the official Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday, despite heightened tensions between the Sunni-dominated kingdom and the predominantly Shiite Islamic republic.

  1. This Saudi summit without Ahmadinejad would have been a non starter and wahabi Abdulla knew it

  2. Its time for the muslims to stand under 1 command or flag. Rathr he is wahabi, sheia r suni etc. We need “itehaad ben ul muslamein”, same as itehaad ben ul crist.

  3. How Muslim world can be united when an ordinary citizen put derogatory remarks against the Leadership of Muslim Country… When people have hatred views on the basis of sects instilled by Their Ulema, all efforts to unite the Muslims on same page will be useless..
