100% agree.
some people have shown here wrong concepts that we can not talk about dead persons. Just look at this forum. We always talk about the persons from history; their good and bad deeds.

King Abdullah in Makkah for burial of Prince Naif
ARAB NEWS
Sunday 17 June 2012
MAKKAH: Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is now in Makkah for the burial of Crown Prince Naif, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said on Sunday.
Prince Naif's body was expected to arrive Sunday in Jeddah from Geneva, where he was receiving medical treatment. Burial was planned for later in the day in Makkah.
King Abdullah arrived in the holy city from Jeddah on Saturday evening and was received at the Guests Palace by Prince Miteb bin Abdulaziz along with other high officials and princes.
SPA said the king was seen off at Jeddah airport by Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, minister of defense; Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz, deputy minister of interior; Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, president of Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities; and other officials.
Among those who accompanied the king were Prince Abdulilah bin Abdulaziz, adviser; Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, chief of general intelligence; Prince Faisal bin Abdullah bin Mohammed, minister of education; advisers Prince Turki bin Abdullah bin Mohammed, Prince Mansour bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz and Prince Bandar bin Salman bin Mohammed; Prince Miteb bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, minister of atate, Cabinet member, and commander of the National Guard; and Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, deputy minister of foreign affairs.
According to SPA, Prince Ahmad bin Abdulaziz, deputy minister of interior, has directed governors of regions and governorates to receive at their headquarters on Monday citizens to offer their condolences on the death of the crown prince.
The SPA also said that a number of leaders and officials of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Arab states have sent condolences to the kingdom.
Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, Kuwait's deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, said that Kuwait has lost a dear brother and sincere supporter.
Professor Tawfiq bin Ahmed Khoja, the director general of the Executive Board of the Council of GCC Ministers of Health, said Crown Prince Naif "has accomplished gigantic achievements in all fields, particularly in the spheres of the defense of his homeland, its security, progress and prosperity."
The Palestinian Fatah Movement commended in a press statement Naif for his pioneering roles in the support of the Palestinian people and their just issues.

Saudi Arabia set to bury crown prince
Saudi Arabia is preparing to bury Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz amid worldwide condolences and with defence minister Prince Salman seemingly poised to become the new heir to the throne.
An aircraft bearing the body of Prince Nayef left Geneva early on Sunday for the kingdom's western city of Jeddah, Al-Arabiya pan-Arab network reported.
The funeral of the Gulf nation's long-time interior minister is expected to take place later in the Muslim holy city of Mecca after sunset [at about 16:00 GMT].
He will be buried in Al-Adl cemetery near the Grand Mosque, where several members of the royal family and prominent Islamic scholars are interred, the local Okaz newspaper said.
"Crown Prince Nayef devoted his life to promoting the security of Saudi Arabia," said Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, while US President Barack Obama praised his co-operation in the fight against terror that "saved countless American and Saudi lives".
French President Francois Hollande said his country had lost a "friend" while Switzerland, where Nayef died, offered "deepest condolences".
The 79-year-old prince died of "cardiac problems" while at his brother's residence in Geneva, a medical source in the city who asked not to be identified said.
Questions over succession
Nayef's death, just eight months after he replaced his late brother Sultan as crown prince, raises the issue of succession because of the advanced age of the first line of apparent heirs, in a time of turmoil rocking the Arab world.
King Abdullah himself is 88 and ailing, and nobody is officially in line to replace Nayef.
However, his brother Prince Salman, 76, who took the defence portfolio after Sultan's death, appears to be a strong candidate.
"Prince Salman is the most likely successor," Khaled al-Dakheel, a Saudi political scientist, said.
Anwar Eshqi, head of the Jeddah-based Middle East Centre for Strategic Studies, said: "All expectations point to Prince Salman to succeed Prince Nayef for his experience in administration, security and politics."
In 2006, the Saudi monarch established the allegiance council, a body of around 35 senior princes, as a new succession mechanism whose long-term aim was to choose the crown prince.
Nayef was the middle prince of the Sudairi Seven, the formidable bloc of sons of King Abdul Aziz by a favourite wife, Princess Hassa al-Sudairi.
In addition to Salman, remaining Sudairis include Prince Abdul Rahman, Prince Turki and Prince Ahmed, who is deputy interior minister and likely to succeed Nayef at the security helm in the oil powerhouse.
Crackdown on al-Qaeda
Nayef, who spearheaded Saudi Arabia's clampdown on al-Qaeda following a wave of attacks in the conservative kingdom between 2003 and 2006, became heir to the throne in October last year.
"He was one of the pillars of stability in the kingdom," wrote al Jazirah daily.
"He managed to overcome crises and navigate this country to the shores of safety."
Seen as more conservative than King Abdullah, Prince Nayef was a staunch defender of the Saudi dynasty and resisted any form of opposition.
He ordered and oversaw a fierce crackdown on Al-Qaeda, forcing the armed group's leaders and fighters to flee to neighbouring Yemen.

Saudi Crown Prince Nayef has died
In this Wednesday, Feb. 5, 202 file photo, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef is seen during an interview with The Associated Press at his office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia said Saturday, June 16, 2012 that Crown Prince Nayef has died.
June 16, 2012 01:32 PM (Last updated: June 16, 2012 06:56 PM)
By Abdullah Al-Shihri
RIYADH: Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz, the hard-line interior minister who spearheaded Saudi Arabia's fierce crackdown crushing Al-Qaeda's branch in the country after the 9/11 attacks and then rose to become next in line to the throne, has died. He was in his late 70s.
Nayef's death unexpectedly reopens the question of succession in this crucial U.S. ally and oil powerhouse for the second time in less than a year. The 88-year-old King Abdullah has now outlived two designated successors, despite ailments of his own. Now a new crown prince must be chosen from among his brothers and half-brothers, all the sons of Saudi Arabia's founder, Abdul-Aziz.
The figure believed most likely to be tapped as the new heir is Prince Salman, the current defense minister who previously served for decades in the powerful post of governor of Riyadh, the capital. The crown prince will be chosen by the Allegiance Council, an assembly of Abdul-Aziz's sons and some of his grandchildren.
It also opens the possibility of moving a member of the so-called "third generation" - the grandchildren of the country's founding monarch - one step closer to taking the leadership of one of the West's most crucial Arab allies.
"This is the big question," said Patrick Clawson, director of research at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Will this now bring a member of Saudi's younger generation into the succession path to the throne?"
A statement by the royal family said Nayef died Saturday in a hospital abroad. Saudi-funded pan-Arab TV station Al-Arabiya later confirmed he died in Geneva.
Nayef had been out of the country since late May, when he went on a trip that was described as a "personal vacation" that would include medical tests. He travelled abroad frequently in recent years for tests but authorities never reported what ailments he may have been suffering from.
Nayef had a reputation for being a hard-liner and a conservative. He was believed to be closer than many of his brothers to the powerful Wahhabi religious establishment that gives legitimacy to the royal family, and he at times worked to give a freer hand to the religious police who enforce strict social rules.
His elevation to crown prince in November 2011, after the death of his brother Sultan, had raised worries among liberals in the kingdom that, if he ever became king, he would halt or even roll back reforms that Abdullah had enacted.
Soon after becoming crown prince, Nayef vowed at a conference of clerics that Saudi Arabia would "never sway from and never compromise on "its adherence to the puritanical, ultraconservative Wahhabi doctrine. The ideology," he proclaimed "is the source of the kingdom's pride, success and progress."
Nayef had expressed some reservations about some of the reforms by Abdullah, who made incremental steps to bring more democracy to the country and increase women's rights. Nayef said he saw no need for elections in the kingdom or for women to sit on the Shura Council, an unelected advisory body to the king that is the closest thing to a parliament.
His top concern was security in the kingdom and maintaining a fierce bulwark against Shiite powerhouse, Iran, according to U.S. Embassy assessments of Nayef.
"A firm authoritarian at heart," was the description of Nayef in a 2009 Embassy report on him, leaked by the whistleblower site WikiLeaks.
"He harbors anti-Shia biases and his worldview is colored by deep suspicion of Iran," it said. "Nayef promotes a vision for Saudi society under the slogan of 'intellectual security,' which he advocates as needed to 'purge aberrant ideas'" and combat extremism, it added, noting that his was in contrast to Abdullah's strategy emphasizing "dialogue, tolerance of differences, and knowledge-based education that is objectionable to many conservatives."
Nayef, who was interior minister in charge of internal security forces since 1975, built up his power in the kingdom though his fierce crackdown against Al-Qaeda's branch in the country following the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and a broader campaign to prevent the growth of Islamic militancy among Saudis.
The 9/11 attacks at first strained ties between the two allies. For months, the kingdom refused to acknowledge any of its citizens were involved in the suicide airline bombings, until finally Nayef became the first Saudi official to publicly confirm that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, in a February 2002 interview with The Associated Press.
In November 2002, Nayef told the Arabic-language Kuwaiti daily Assyasah that Jews were behind the Sept. 11 attacks because they have benefited from subsequent criticism of Islam and Arabs. Nayef came under heavy criticism in the U.S., especially because he was the man in charge of Saudi investigations into the attack. Criticism grew in the United States that the Saudis were not doing enough to stem extremism in their country or combat Al-Qaeda.
In mid-2003, Islamic militants struck inside the kingdom, targeting three residential expatriate compounds - the first of a string of assaults that later hit government buildings, the U.S. consulate in Jiddah and the perimeter of the world's largest oil processing facility in Abqaiq. Al-Qaeda's branch in the country announced its aim to overthrow Al Saud royal family.
The attacks galvanized the government into serious action against the militants, an effort spearheaded by Nayef. Over the next years, dozens of attacks were foiled, hundreds of militants were rounded up and killed.
By 2008, it was believed that Al-Qaeda's branch was largely broken in the country. Militant leaders who survived or were not jailed largely fled to Yemen, where they joined Yemeni militants in reviving al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Nayef took a leading role in combatting the branch in Yemen as well. In 2009, al-Qaida militants attempted to assassinate his son, Prince Muhammad, who is deputy interior minister and the commander of counterterrorism operations: A suicide bomber posing as a repentant militant blew himself up in the same room as the prince but failed to kill him.
The cooperation against al-Qaida both in the kingdom and in Yemen significantly boosted ties with the United States.
The anti-militant campaign also boosted Nayef's ties to the religious establishment, which he saw as a major tool in keeping stability and preventing the spread of violent al-Qaida-style "jihadi" theology. The Wahhabi ideology that is the official law in Saudi Arabia is deeply conservative - including strict segregation of the sexes, capital punishments like beheadings and enforced prayer times - but it also advocates against al-Qaida's calls for holy war against leaders seen as infidels.
Nayef's Interior Ministry allied with clerics in a "rehabilitation" program for detained militants, who went through intensive courses with clerics in "correct" Islam to sway them away from violence. The program brought praise from the United States.
Nayef never clashed with Abdullah over reforms or made attempts to stop them - such a step would be unthinkable in the tight-knit royal family, whose members work hard to keep differences under wraps and ultimately defer to the king. But Nayef was long seen as more favorable to the Wahhabi establishment. In 2009, Nayef promptly shut down a film festival in the Red Sea port city of Jiddah, apparently because of conservatives' worry about the possibility of gender mixing in theaters and a general distaste toward film as immoral.
Nayef, a soft-spoken, stocky man of medium build, was born in 1933, the 23rd son of Abdul-Aziz, the family patriarch who founded the kingdom in 1932 and had dozens of sons by various wives.
Nayef was one of the five surviving members of the Sudairi seven, sons of Abdul-Aziz from his wife Hussa bint Ahmad Sudairi who, for decades, have held influential posts. That made him a half-brother of King Abdullah. Before being appointed interior minister, he held the posts of Riyadh governor, deputy minister of interior and minister of state for internal affairs.
Nayef has 10 children from several wives.
- Note (Bubblegum Crisis):
“No Change... Never.”
His motto was “no to change, yes to development”. He believed that no change is necessary in Saudi Arabia: “Change means changing something that already exists. Whatever exists in the Kingdom is already well-established; however, there is a scope for development – development that does not clash with the principles of the nation”. In a similar vein, in March 2009, he publicly stated that he saw no need for either elections or women in government.

Call for action against abusive posts on Nayef
Kuwaiti MPs post personal condolences and heaped praise on Prince
Kuwaiti lawmakers have called for stringent action against bloggers who have posted abusive remarks or comments targeting Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the Saudi crown prince and interior minister who passed away on Saturday.
MP Mohammad Hayef said that those who post insulting remarks should be put on trial.
“We offer our condolences on the demise of Crown Prince Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz whose stances on defending scholars and resisting relentless onslaughts on the Muslim nation were outstanding,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
“The Kuwaiti government must silence the screeching crows who were pleased with the Prince’s death. They should be put on trial as they have no religious values that deter them from attacking the dead,” he wrote.
“We urge a prompt intervention to take action against anyone who insults the late Prince Nayef,” MP Waleed Al Tabtabai, wrote on his Twitter account. “We urge the Kuwaiti government to silence those who insult the great prince. We are well aware of their deep hatred for the people and leaders of Saudi Arabia.”
For MP Nayed Al Ferdas, Kuwait is grateful to the late prince for his “honourable support” to the country when it was invaded by the Iraqi former regime.
Several other lawmakers posted personal condolences and heaped praise on Prince Nayef.
Kuwait and Bahrain on Saturday announced a three-day mourning period during which the flags will be flown at half-mast in respect for the former crown prince.
Bahrain television channels interrupted their regular programmes to broadcast readings from the Holy Quran while a large reception to honour the Muharraq football team for winning the Gulf Cup was postponed.

Well, I see no reason why people can't be happy if someone dies. I'm not happy about this guy's death, but when Saddam died many people around the world were happy. Both in Iraq and Iran, also the rest of the world. So maybe Mosa has a reason to hate him? it's up to him to decide what to do I think.
To Yazeed lovers (ie avid readers of Mr. ibn abdul Wahhab's books), You were not content with ..... and are now trying to spread the fitnah all over the world?
Are some poeple blind and can't see that it's Wahhabis/Saudis that are celebrating the death on this thread? duh, why am I even surprised...
