Reaping the Saudi whirlwind
Yesterday's dreadful carnage in Riyadh demonstrates that Al Qa'eda's long declared war against the kingdom has moved into a higher gear. It may also have been a tactical error. For this time, Muslims too were targeted in a compound where they mixed with foreign workers. As the Telegraph explains: 'The targeting of the Muslim compound in Riyadh, like the killing of anyone dealing with tourists, is legitimised for extremists because of association with "infidels". A way of life in which women drive into the compound and Muslims share western food at picnics around swimming pools is anathema to the fundamentalists. In attacking the Muhaya compound, al-Qa'eda was sending the message that Muslims of "lesser faith" will be punished and guest workers from other Muslim nations would be advised to avoid Saudi Arabia. The Saudi economy relies heavily on guest workers'. There is no doubt that the Saudis are trying to fight this threat to their regime; but their relationship with terror is nevertheless a symbiotic one. For they have been happy to turn a blind eye to terror as long as it wasn't directed at them. Indeed, it is Saudi money which is behind the many mosques in Britain and elsewhere being used to spread a doctrine of extreme Wahhabiism, and recruit hearts and minds, if not actual bodies, to the cause of militancy. The question now is whether, having sown their murderous dragon's teeth, they will now abandon their strategy of world-wide theological fascism as they fight the many headed monster they have helped create.

yes Indeed will they. No I don't think so as long as the World won't actually front up and be honest and hold them accountable for funding terror the past 40 years. No As long as they think that we need them more than they need us. No As they truely believe that they will own the world and are doing us a favour by Islamising it. Mike NZ Posted by: Mike at November 11, 2003 03:50 AMThe Saudis and the muslim world is aghast because ONLY Muslims were killed. If Christians, Hindus or Jews (No, not Jews, as they dont exist in Saudi arabia), had also been killed, the Muslim world would probably have celebrated by passing out sweets. It is a sad situation that we have imported to the West, a culture that is out to destroy Western civilisation. A civilisation unique in history that puts the individual rather then ethnicity, religious or tribal grouping, at the centre. I'm afraid that this internal war within the West, beween Muslims and the rest, we are likely to lose, as many of our leaders refuse to recognise the danger, and also because Muslim populations are growing within the West due to a high birth rate. Posted by: DP at November 11, 2003 01:04 PMMoney has been allocated country by country for at least 10yrs from my memory for the islamisation of the world. If it were any other people group the UN would organise sanctions. """Likewise, Sheikh Abd Al-'Aziz Qari wasn't preaching in an underground cave, but in Medina, the second holiest city in the world for Muslims, when he said: "Two groups – the Jews and the Christians – are the main elements constituting the 'Camp of Kufur' [unbelief] and will continue to be its two foundations until Allah allows their downfall and annihilation at the end of days ... The Jews are the objects of Allah's [promised] wrath, while the Christians deviate from the path of righteousness ... The Koran described the Jews as a nation cursed by Allah, a nation at which he was angry – some of whom he turned into apes and pigs." """ No one wants to face up to the reality because to do so means they have to admit the UN is a failed organisation. |
