Saudi Government Daily: "You [the U.S.] Will Vanish, But We Will Remain" Dr. Mohammad T. Al Rasheed, a columnist for the Saudi government English daily The Saudi Gazette, responded to President Bush's demand that Arab leaders cease calling suicide bombers "martyrs." In an article titled "God Bless Our Martyrs," Dr. Al-Rasheed criticized the U.S. The following are excerpts from the column: "The 'Dudn't' President Has Overstepped His Mark" "A few weeks ago a couple in San Francisco were found guilty on behalf of their two dogs that mauled a neighbor to death. The same law is applicable to Bush and Sharon: the dog and its keeper. We do not need a Cicero to pontificate before a court for us to get a verdict. The issue is clear. We also cannot enter into high legal parlance or into philosophical argumentations. The dog and its keeper are not versed in this sort of dialogue. Nevertheless, let us try and simplify it enough for the keeper to understand why the world is not against dogs per se, but against his dog in particular..." "The Americans used to say that they do not have the power to curb or influence Israeli decisions, but every time they tell the Israelis to do something, the Israelis do it. How are we to square this circle? The world watches in horror, and we have Europeans now bellowing at America to do the basic decent things in life. The Europeans are not exactly Arabophiles, but they retain a semblance of their humanity yet..." " Fourteen hundred years ago, the second Khalif, Omar, entered Jerusalem and was invited by its archbishop to pray in [the] Nativity Church. He refused; not because he did not think it suitable, but because, as he put it, 'Muslims will want to build a mosque on the spot.' Sure enough, he prayed on an adjoining piece of land, where we now have Masjid Omar, the Mosque of Omar. That too was bombed and desecrated by the modern Hun." "The progress of humanity seems far from inching its way to better human nature. Or is it simpler: we lack education about others, and an ingrained sense of respect for others and, more tragically, ourselves." "A Billion of Muslims Are Being Turned into Raging Volcanoes" "Better still, others have learned the trick of the trade. Ironically enough, Caligula wandered too far in Palestine where angels feared to tread before him. He wanted the Jews to worship him in their temple , the rest is history as they say. Can the 'dudn't' man be brought to read some of this history? Condowhatever Rice should bring some of those wonderful books published by Stanford for him to read. On a personal note, I am ashamed now to say that I went to the same university." "Let us say it once and for all: We have nothing against Jews. This is a fact. We have nothing against any people for what they believe or how they believe. Those of us who do are interpreting Muslim scriptures as American fundamentalists are interpreting Christian scriptures. It is hard to believe the Pope, of the Vatican as an institution, endorses Jerry Falwell - just to give one example. But, like the French during Nazi occupation, the Russians against the French occupation, the Americans against the British occupation, we take issue with the occupier. Hence our sense of martyrdom." President Bush Should Read Arab History "You [The U.S.] Will Vanish, But We Will Remain"

Volcanoes make a lot of noise, but all they really do is pop like a zit.
Perhaps, but what will they look like, and will anyone be around to find out if they are edible or not?
Why dont the little chicken$hits embargo their oil, then ? C'mon, you pathetic ragheads, show us your b@!ls ! .. Raging, indeed!
No the slap in the face comes from our govt. putting up with this crap.
EOTS tells the Saudis, I Fart in your general direction and I shake your hand with my left!
Look carefully at your own words, Norvokov. If a newspaper is is government run, then the editorials therein may be reasonably assumed to be government policy...
the infowarrior
We will take over the wells in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, UAE etc.
For this type of operation I will be back under arms no questions asked, althou at 45 I am over the age of drafting.
I don't get it.
This was from an article written by one of those Arab "Scholars"... I may have posted it on this thread erronseously as I was reading more than one webpage at a time :-)
Anyway, some arrogant Saudi referred to Condi Rice as "Condo-whatever Rice", so I was just paraphrasing it...
Why do we think the Saudis are our "friends"? Because we saved them from being raped and killed by Saddam? Because we buy their oil? We should stop sending them dollars and just send them the sixth fleet.
