No doubt the Saudis support Wahabbist Islam, which is radical.
But the AQ claims are complete bunk. The Saudis have been torturing and executing and imprisoning AQ operatives for many years prior to 9/11.
They wanted to overthrow the Saudis. They are mortal enemies.
OK, I hear you.
I was reading the possibility that the Saudis were completely removed from responsibility from 9/11 into your response.
GWB went completely overboard with the “Islam is Peace” shtick afterwards. Do you remember that one of the speakers at such an event was Anwar-al-Alwiki?
I feel like we’ve been had, in the sense that Islam should be kept at a careful distance. They can fight amongst themselves if they want to, but I want as little as is necessary to do with any of them. I feel like “piss be upon him,” and all of them, every time I have to walk in my socks through airport security and get wanded or patted by the TSA.
Before 9/11, it was thought that only an insane crazy would take himself down with the plane... now its considered respected jihadi behavior in some circles.
