In the past Bin Laden and his people have bragged about future attacks, I think!!
The Muslim community is a close knit community from what I've been reading. Saudia
Arabia is ruled by a King and Princes. I heard there were something like 30,000 members
of the royal family. Also, the country is in DEBT! And now many members of the royal family
have to work for a living. They feel that it is beneath them.
Since Saudia Arabia is not a democracy, ordinary people cannot meet legally to protest or
to discuss political opinion in the open so the have nots, the people who aren't members of
the royal family, believe the US has propped up the King and royal family to protect our oil interests.
Although Muslims condemned the terrorists acts in the US they tended to
side with Bin Laden because he isn't afraid to stand up to US because they believe the US has misused its power abroad.
Also, I read that Saudia Arabia is a very conservative religious state so it was not only Bin Laden
but many others who were furious when non-Muslims walked on Holy Ground.
I had not heard about the rumors in New York, but since they seem to be true, I fear that
it would be very dangerous for the US to expand its war abroad into strong Muslim nations who
are extremely anti-American. American attacks will serve the purpose of pulling the Muslim communities
together. My gosh if they were talking about the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City,
can you image what will happen if we provoke the Muslims in Indonesia and other parts of the world?
Some of these people have been fighting among and between themselves for generations. Still,
they would huddle together in the face of a US attack..
From the way Mr. Bush has treated Pakistan's General, I don't believe Bush is aware of the anti-American
backlash.
There was an interview with an F.B.I. agent in the tv show that I told you about. He talked about
the first guy who blew up world trade center and was arrested. The FBI agent said he had never
met anyone with that kind of determination. And an interview with a dissident from either Egypt or
Sauda Arabia also pointed out that the mentality between the East and the West is very, very
different. |
