None of these groups consider themselves Arabs. Do you really think this all started with Saudi oil money?
It is PRECISELY the fundamentalist Islamic notion of a "pure" Islamic state under Sharia (Islamic law) and free of "infidels" that fuels these 11th century nut-cases. It doesn't help that were it not for oil money, all the Islamic states would be economic basket cases instead of just 80 %. With these extremists, Turkey does not count as an Islamic state...in fact if they succeed, more of these friendly chaps will be heading Turkey's way.
Just once I would like to see an Islamic spokesperson or Imam state simply that "the killing of the innocent in the name of Islam is a sin" AND JUST STOP THERE.. Inevitably, however, there is the following clause "but the West must understand the level of anger in the Muslim world about the.....(choose your cause..Palestinians, Kashmir, the Shah, infidel soldiers in the land of the Prophet etc etc)
BTW Bill.....if there is a future Islamic State of Australia....you can take the entire month of Ramadan off if you work in a fast food restaurant
Actually, YES. Saudi backed terror goes a long way. I would have added Iranian efforts but they are another case as well as Chechens. But I still stand on the same ground , Arabs are to blame for the mess.
Each civilization has its unique way of fighting a war , and theirs is the terrorism. It i s very much like the V2, doesnt kill that much but demoralizes out of its physical proportion.
I agree about Turkey being the next target. With those European 'friends', at our back, we do need some strong support. In fact Bin Laden counted us with the Israel claiming that we have to be 'rehabilitated'. ( actually, given a free hand turks will be happy to re-educate their arabs once more , apparently they sort of forgot their past - I mean about democratic ways of government - they just never grasped the idea of a centralized government)
Actually, this is all British mistake. arabs got their freedom from a lottery , they never deserved it and they probably never will. In fact, going like this they will simply become extinct because of the social evolution.
:rolleyes:
bw. noone takes the Ramadan off even if they work ina restaurant, we just eat later....
the cool thing is the ramadan festivities, 4.5 days of vacation followed by another 5 days 2 months later for Abraham's sacrifice ( or whatever it is called )
