Those who make excuses for the House of Saud are SCUM.

Nice Job.

The Saudis where and are bank rolling most of the world wide spread of Islam by the sword, by economics, by politics and lobbying, through the legal systems and courts, by immigration and religious cult indoctrination.

It's working very well.

Personally, I don't care for freepers calling each other names for any reason.

Discussion is productive, name-calling isn't.

My ultimate dream would be for us to find a substitute to crude oil, so as to reduce the House of Saud to penury. Let their extremists throw rocks at our bombers when they come to punish them again.

Did you do Fahd in, Laz?

Haven't seen you around-were you in KSA on Operation Can Fahd?

You seem like the man for the job.

I thought Muslims had to be buried within 24 hours of death?

... depends on what the meaning of 'death' is -- official, unofficial, sorta, kinda, depends on whose opinion ... ?? (maybe they learned from the Klintoons)


Unfortunately, time of death is probably being determined as we speak, by a team of French doctors who have been idle since Arafat. Once they decide time of death, the 24 hour period starts.

"Yeah, now I'm a "bigot" against Saudi's and Muslims."

You are welcome to use another description that explains why you would continue to mischaracterize comments even after you've been thoughtfully corrected, but "bigot" seems succinct.

I suppose, however, that instead of bigotry, another acceptable explanation could be that you simply don't understand and aren't capable of comprehending the subject matter, but that seemed to me at the time to be the less likely answer for your seemingly deliberate mischaracterization.

I'd like also like to see all these Islamics who are so in love with the teachings of the Koran and Islamic law, forced out of the countries they are trying to change and sent home to the desert and isolated so they could live under their precious laws in the seventh century lifestyle which it keeps them in.

Since it's inception it has brought nothing, but misery, decay, death and destruction to the majority of those who practice and to those with who they share the planet.

Without their oil,and the technology and welfare policies of those they seek to destroy they would have ceased to exist centuries before.
