Fucking Savages (Al Qaeda)

Bullshit. I’m not about to call you a “dumb fuck” because ad hominem arguments don’t do it for me. I can call your argument horse shit, though, and I will.

I could pick out any number of statements by Muslims that totally condemn Al Qaeda.

In fact, here is a whole page of them.

Sample quotes:

Read, educate yourself, and try not to see the world in stereotypes.

Sorry, I’ve been up all night and I did just go off half cocked.

I know about all the condemnations. However, after expressing extreme disgust, if asked if they believe the US is responsible or brought it on…The answer is yes, the US shares in the responsibility for one reason or another.

OK, the USA isn’t the most popular nation in the Middle East, it’s true. But (and I’m not including you in this) when you see people in the US saying the “whole Middle East should be nuked into glass” because of what a small band of terrorists in Al Qaeda cells does, it’s not a lot different from seeing the man in the street in Baghdad or Gaza venting anger at the US because of what a small band of terrorists in the White House does.

CP Abdullah is pretty much in charge already. The king has health problems so severe that he is barely hanging on and has no time for governing. I am unsure what kind of reform the CP can make. To really change much, the guy would have to repudiate the Wahabbi doctrine that legitimizes the house of Saud, something that ain’t gonna happen. The other changes he would need to make are social but that can’t happen without rooting the immams out of the government.
The Saudis have a “separation of church and state” problem and I don’t see a way out for him. The Sauds have allowed the immams to get into the government in a big way. Education is run by mutawwa or “Hiya” and they have put a hard-line religious slant on every course for the previous 30 years or so. The immams are also heavily into the security sector which is a very bad thing right now.

Due to the schools having a hard-line slant for years, the average Saudi does believe in the Wahabbi doctrines. This makes him automatically xenophobic with a special hatred of anything Jewish. The royal family is educated abroad and so are much more open minded about such things. “Abdullah Aveerage” pretty much believes what he has been taught all his life.

Testy, Stay safe, please.

Thanks for the kind wishes. Given the local attitudes, a kind wish is appreciated. On a different topic, when is the next Amsterdam dope? Amsterdope? I’ve got to go up there next month if business allows.

All the best.

You’ll be in Amsterdam, next month, Testy? That’s so cool. Unfortunately I can’t leave home, but if Coldfire or any other Dutchie will arrange something, I’ll be sure you’ll get some drinks [or something stronger - ahem -] on me.

Mail me, if you like. Address in my profile. Have fun. :slight_smile:

Except that these terrorists are not Drakh. They are just plain drek!

Blown & Injected , what I meant was, you said that you “wanted to” wish for a total wipeout of the ME because you bet most were sympathetic. In that sense, you were betting with their lives.

Ah, now I see. Perhaps unclear on my part:

makes me want to wish…but I know better

Sarcasm aside, you DID invade California. Carry on.-

Aw fuck…

CNN Breaking news -

Al-Jazeera TV reports Iraqi militant group has killed South Korean hostage Kim Sun-il. CNN working to confirm.

Yeah, it looks like beheading is going to catch on. I think the shock and horror of Westerners at seeing someone in two (or more) pieces is something the average terrorist really enjoys.
On the up-side, there are a few less of those sons of bitches alive in Saudi today. I really hope the Iraqis go with some Saudi-style justice on these ass holes when (if) they catch them.
