Yup makes a lot of sense. No Arab hijackers. Also OBL never publicly admitted and bragged about his accomplishments. Saddam never sent money to the families of suicide bombers. Thousands of Palestinians never danced in the streets on 9/11.

Also Hitler never pulled the switch to drop the gas.

Thanks to Darren - I hadn't seen this before. I will offer it here as more proof of the Jewish conspiracy. (Personally, I'm very excited to learn that Jewish girls in America resemble Barbie. I may have to leave my computer alone eventually in the future, etc. <gggg>)

Barbie Deemed Threat to Saudi Morality

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's religious police have declared Barbie dolls a threat to morality, complaining that the revealing clothes of the "Jewish" toy - already banned in the kingdom - are offensive to Islam.

The Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, as the religious police are officially known, lists the dolls on a section of its Web site devoted to items deemed offensive to the conservative Saudi interpretation of Islam.

"Jewish Barbie dolls, with their revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West. Let us beware of her dangers and be careful," said a poster on the site.

The poster, plastered with pictures of Barbie in short dresses and tight pants, and with a few of her accessories, reads: "A strange request. A little girl asks her mother: Mother, I want jeans, a low-cut shirt, and a swimsuit like Barbie."

Such posters are distributed to schools and hung in the streets by the religious police, or muttawa, an independent body affiliated with the office of the Prime Minister.

Vice police officials were not available for comment Monday.

Sheik Abdulla al-Merdas, a preacher in a Riyadh mosque, said the muttawa take their anti-Barbie campaign to the shops, confiscating dolls from sellers and imposing a fine.

Although illegal, Barbies, the creation of California-based Mattel Inc., are found on the black market, where a contraband doll could cost $27 or more.

"It is no problem that little girls play with dolls. But these dolls should not have the developed body of a woman, and wear revealing clothes," al-Merdas said.

"These revealing clothes will be imprinted in their minds and they will refuse to wear the clothes we are used to as Muslims," the sheik said.

Women in Saudi Arabia must cover themselves from head to toe with a black cloak in public. They are not allowed to drive and cannot go out in public unaccompanied by a male family member.

Other items listed as violations on the site included Valentine's Day gifts, perfume bottles in the shape of women's bodies, clothing with logos that include a cross, and decorative copies of religious items - offensive because they could be damaged and thus insult Islam.

An exhibition of all the violating items is found in the holy city of Medina, and mobile tours go around to schools and other public areas in the kingdom.

The muttawa act as a monitoring and punishing agency, propagating conservative Islamic beliefs according to the teachings of the puritan Wahhabi sect, adhered to the kingdom since the 18th century, and enforcing strict moral code.

The muttawa patrol the streets of the kingdom, preventing men from mingling with women, enforcing strict Islamic dress for women, chasing worshippers late for prayers, and punishing shop keepers who stay open during prayer hours. They sometimes work with a police officer who can enforce legal punishments on people deemed violators.

Re: Autopsy: No Arabs on Flight 77

Emile, as I keep telling everybody since September 2001, 911 was plotted by Russians in cahoots with Israeli and possibly French spooks --remember that, back in September 2001, France was still ruled by a Zionist Prime Minister, namely Lionel Jospin... It's small wonder that, upon winning the prez election in 2002, President Jacques Chirac dismissed BOTH the head of DGSE (French CIA) and the head of DST (French FBI).

Now, as you remember, I always suspected that Massoud was sort of the remote squadron leader of the 911 hijackers, that is, the Northern Alliance was put in charge of recruiting the hijackers --either among their native Tajiks (after all, Western-looking Victor Bout is Tajik) or among foreign mercenaries fighting in Afghanistan... And that leads us straight to... Guantanamo! Indeed, the Guantanamo convicts are crucial for US intelligence because US authorities --rightly-- assume that some of them were likely approached/probed by Massoud's henchmen about hijacking US airliners... Some of them might even have passed the first stages of the selection process before being turned away because of their psychological profile or whatever....
