This could have been said by any western leader and would have been acceptible. Think about it.

I don't find it acceptable. Do you? I find this kind of commentary after thousands of innocent people were just publicly murdered in one of the most horrific criminal acts we have even witnessed despicable, offensive and a grave insult to those who have so senselessly suffered the loss of their loved ones.

Maybe those who make such statements should sit down and listen to the words of the little girl who asked if she "could call Daddy on his cell phone." It takes an almost unheard-of level of callousness and disregard for human suffering to speak in this manner.

It would have been barely tolerable, as we are barely tolerating it from the left-wing in both Europe and America.

But the left-wing is not culpable in the terrorist act, as the Saudis are.

It was committed by Saudis. It was funded by other Saudis, who said, just don't do it to us. Its rationale was provided by the Saudi state religion, Wahhabism.

And none of them even have the decency to apologize.
