Arabia Quote by Mark Durie
“There are three foundational issues or three divisions that I should say that Sharia fits into, one is penal law of course and that is what gets all the attention, there's two countries in the world right now that actually have a Federal mandate to enact penal law according to the Sharia, that's Saudi Arabia, and Iran.”

![“We're defending Saudi Arabia? And with all of the money they have, we're defending them, and they're not paying? All you have to do is speak to them. Wait. You have so many different things you have to be able to do, and I don't believe that Hillary [Clinton] has the stamina.” quote by Donald Trump](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/0a5/donald-trump-18_able_we-re-defending-saudi-arabia-and-with-al_72517.jpg)
