King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia Hypocrite or artful linguist

The King of Saudi Arabia (on the right in the image; President Karzai of Afghanistan is on the left) addressed a UN Interfaith conference and spoke out, ostensibly, in favor of tolerance,

Here is what he said according to an english language Turkish website,

“We state with a unified voice that religions through which Almighty God sought to bring happiness to mankind should not be turned into instruments to cause misery,” the king said, opening a UN General Assembly meeting initiated by Riyadh. “Terrorism and criminality are the enemies of every religion and every civilization. They would not have emerged except for the absence of the principle of tolerance.”

As the end of this article implies (although only far too gently IMO), Saudi Arabia isn't exactly a model when it comes to tolerance. As a matter of public record:

no religion except Islam may have a house of worship in the country;
women may not drive;
if a woman is raped she is subject to being prosecuted for adultery;
Shiite muslim are persecuted;
Sunnis who don't hold with the Salafist persuasion (e.g., the Sufi) are persecuted;
idiosyncratic groups of muslims like the Averi, Adumahddi, Ismaili) are subject to death if caught in public stating their beliefs;
public criticism of the King is a criminal offense.

there is lots more along those lines

This would be an open and shut case of hypocrisy except that we don't know what the King means.

The first sentence, "We state...misery", may simply means that he regrets that some Muslims are against him (the phrase "religions through which...happiness" may refer only to the various types of Salafism).

Furthermore, he may mean the phrase "terrorism and criminality" to only refer to killings and violence against Salafists and the phrase "principle of tolerance" to refer to his desire of all Salafists to recognize him (the King of SArabia) and the arbiter of what is right and wrong.
