I will give the Saudi's 1/4 of a point for this one. However, I want to see them do what the Egyptian government did when their little terrorist problem was driving away the tourists (which is a large source of revenue in Egypt)They need to rein in their religious police (mutawain) and strip them of their power-these are the little thugs who go around beating people for not closing their shops during prayer time or harassing women out in public if their ankles are showing,etc. They need to rein in the mullahs who are preaching the hatred and they need to crack down on groups and their leaders who are suspect of being involved in any kind of activity that would incite terrorism. The Egyptians did this is and it was very effective.

Upon further investigation, I found a definition allowing for religious groups to be included BUT in an attempt to make this wonderful language of ours more exact, I propose the word: THEOLOCIDE.
Then you and I shall have the honor of being the first two humans to have used the term THEOLOCIDE in a direct conversation, while the others on the thread to have overheard it.
Shall it be defined as:
Theocracide - the systematic killing of all people of a specific religous group, or an attempt to do this. It is distinguished as separate from "genocide" by the non-ethnic nature, thereby allowing a meaningful conversion.
[Early-21st century. Coined from the Greek "theologia", "study of divine things" + "cide"]

Of course we know for a fact they are all dead because their spokeman told us so...

This was a terrible tragedy, blah blah blah we um... feel your pain, all terrorists were captured and killed by us your friends Saudi Arabia. And so case closed. blah blah Please go back to eating your cheeseburgers and watch American Idol. Thank You. Have a nice day.

Never happen. Muslims are allowed to kill infidels without fear of retribution. I get the feeling that the "terrorists" the saudis offed were really Christians.

Since when do "Muslims" follow their own "Good Book"? The terrorists kill Muslims every day. The terrorists have no problem with violating their "Good Book". Deep inside, Muslims know their "prophet" was nothing more than an oppurtunistic thug who twisted words to better control the ignorant desert rats he needed for conquest.

"Theolocide"-- excellent!
["Theocracide" is a typo?]

Deep inside, Muslims know their "prophet" was nothing more than an oppurtunistic thug who...
And you would know what Muslims know "deep inside" because....?

[Clara Lou]

This was a terrible tragedy, blah blah bla
Aw, gee.... you have to admit that he looks sincere!

[olde north church]

I was going back and forth for some time between:
Theocracide and Theocrocide, based upon "theocracy" but then I figured, eh, theolocide would be more precise, more, true to the term.

[Non-Sequitur]

According to the accounts I saw, they were dumping the body and a Saudi witness called police with their license plate number. If this is true, then I find it interesting that the head of al-Qaida in Saudi Arabia was involved in such a risky task. Could this be evidence that the al-Qaida network isn't that large?

Sorry....I should have noted that applies to those who have actually read his book. Not those idiots who hang on every word from their 'mad mullahs'.

[Clara Lou]

I think the thing to remember is that people who are Muslims come from a completely different culture and historical background. Values are different. Attitudes are different. Life is cheap as long as it's someone else's. They don't see what you and I see. And they don't know what you and I know. (just my opinion)

The best way we can deal with the media... is to NOT WATCH THEM

Couldn't agree more. No TV in my house. Why invite the enemy in?

d.o.l.
