Saudi: Suicide Bombings Not Terrorism
Saudi Official Writes President Bush, Says Palestinian Suicide Bombings Not Terrorism

| RIYADH, Saudi Arabia April 16 — A Saudi official said Tuesday he told President Bush and Congress in a letter that Palestinian suicide bombers are not terrorists and are instead sacrificing "their souls for freedom." The member of the unelected Consultative Council, which acts like a Parliament, also warned that Washington's perceived support for Israel would intensify mounting hatred toward the United States. Ahmed al-Tuwaijri said in his letter that U.S. policy has "destroyed our dreams and the dreams of peace-lovers around the world." The 120-member council is appointed by the king and reflects government opinion. Tuwaijri's comments came after the Saudi ambassador to Britain, Ghazi Algosaibi, wrote a poem in the Arab daily Al-Hayat over the weekend praising a female suicide bomber. Last week, a government-run telethon raised more than $100 million to help the Palestinians amid the Israeli offensive in the West Bank. Some in the United States accused the Saudis of fueling violence, though the Saudis denied any of the money was going to suicide bombers. In his letter, al-Tuwaijri condemned Washington's classification of Palestinian suicide bombings as terrorist acts while it defends Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's incursion into West Bank areas. "When young men and women offered their souls for the sake of freedom and independence and in defense of their religion, dignity, self and family, the United States could not find anything to describe these great sacrifices except to say they are terrorist, criminal actions," said al-Tuwaijri. "What's the difference between the taking of innocent lives in New York and Washington and the taking of innocent lives in Ramallah and Bethlehem?" added al-Tuwaijri, a U.S.-educated Islamic fundamentalist. Al-Tuwaijri said U.S. support for Israel "provokes hatred against America all over the world and is also a major element that sparks extremism and terrorism." Iraqi President Saddam Hussein also said suicide bombings are a "legitimate means used by a people whose land is being occupied," state-run media reported Tuesday. Saddam has been making payments of up to $25,000 to families of Palestinian suicide bombers since the Israeli-Palestinian clashes began in September 2000. The Saudi government called on the United States to work toward Israel's immediate withdrawal from Palestinian lands it has seized during its offensive, saying Washington's failure to do so would undermine its credibility. During a Cabinet meeting Monday, King Fahd said the "continuation of the aggression, committing vicious massacres on a daily basis, the killing of innocent people and the demolition of camps in the Palestinian territories had produced clear evidence of Israel's reluctance to comply with the will of the international community." His remarks were carried Tuesday by the local press. |
are instead sacrificing "their souls for freedom."Send the word to them that they should do their sacrificing in the woods around no other people so as to make it impossible to confuse them with terrorists, and the entire world will be a better place.
Then we nuke Mecca.
Problem solved.
Thats for sure. I thought civilization was going to stand up and defeat the barbarians, using the Bush doctrine as a guide until recently when we insisted that Israel stop defending themselves against the suicide-bombers and our Sec. of State was sent over to kiss the *ss of the terrorist Arafat.
Maybe civilization doesn't have the stones to defend itself against the islamic barbarian hoards and will fall into a new Dark Age. It wouldn't be the first time, I just hope that I am dead before that happens. I pity the younger generations, what kind of a world will they inherit from us?
Followed by the ASSASSINATION OF ALL ISLAMIC PRIESTS AND LEADERS????? Be careful what you WISH FOR BUD!!!! Because THAT could be ARRANGED!!!!
BUMP to that. Only it won't be enough. They will have to be expelled, since otherwise, foreign bank accounts will be set up for them.
