In all due respect we must simply have a serious difference of perceptions based on research from two different
worlds. In my view there is no more dangerous enemy than the Saudis (c'mon man!)...the House of Saud is a joke
4000 strong with a few score with any power, claiming to be our friend and our government pretending such to be the truth for the sole reason of oil. The House of Saud has for years been trying to play it both ways,
selling oil to us to maintain their lifestyle, at the same time exporting Wahabism as far as they can reach.
Can we say Bosnia? They have built 200 mosques outside of their country and try to proclaim to the average Joe in the streets they are champions of Islam (Wahabi version at that), thus incurring the ire of bin Laden.
They are NOT our friend. I don't choose to argue the point further, saddened only by the strong suspicion
that I hold the correct view (not political however) that Islam is our enemy if we are to consider the overwhelming
majority who practice. Such were my conclusions from a source no less than Salman Rushdie himself. I also hold the view that my position will not become clear until...Hoover Dam, a radioactive Capitol Mall or Wall Street, whatever. Good luck in your opinions and I sincerely hope I! am the one who is wrong. I truly believe this will end up as a nuclear conflict. If it does we pull our punches at our great peril.
