[Pearls Before Swine]

The Saudis have been angered and bewildered by these reports.

Angered, maybe. Bewildered--naaaaah. What would the Saudis think if some random country on the world scene-- say Paraguay--supplied from its citizens the large majority of people on a series of planes that crashed into the Qaabah stone and the Saudi Royal Palace? Suppose then that this country further was found to fund anti-Islamic terrorists, and had heavy anti-Arabic indoctrination of its citizens through a controlled and vitriolic press.

Would the (for example) Paraguayans be suprised and bewildered that the Saudis were upset? I think not.

It is only in the presence of a presumed essential PC attitude of "open-mindedness" that anyone in the US would give this bewildered drivel 5 seconds of attention.

That's a Paraquay I'd go for. We should certainly follow that example. Go, Praqauy, go!

Oh, shucks, you were just making it up.

Funny how clear things become when the tables are turned. Your example shows how much we've accepted the "muslims are always victims" propaganda. It's not only PC, but also BS.

Unfortunately, if you were to use that example to explain the situation to the typical muslim, the point would be lost on him as he feverishly declared a jihad against Paraguay. Rather than seeing Paraguay as representing Saudi Arabia in your analogy, he would see anti-arab Paraguay as more proof that muslims are always victims.
