I was the one ranting about the radical fundamentalists in Saudi Arabia. The government in Saudi Arabia is teaching 8th graders to kill Jews and impure Shi'a. They cannot even teach their children about the Shiite religion in Saudi Arabia at this point. Saudi Arabia is the closest thing to a completely totalitarian state the world has ever witnessed. No wonder the Shi'a police are being dismembered on a daily basis in Iraq. The Saudis are teaching their children to kill anyone that shares a different view of God. Saudi Arabia is exporting it's totalitarian view of Islam to every corner of the Islamic world from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan to Northern India. Indeed, the foreign fighter are trying to dismember the Shi'a in Iraq through brute force. They have all the money they need to finance relgious charities throughout the 800 million Sunnis, leaving the 200 million Muslims like the Kurds and the Shi'a between a rock and a hard place. Why do fundamentalists leave their home countries to kill Shi'a and Kurds? They are not protesting US policy by killing Shi'a police. They are purging Muslims they do not agree with. The terrorists are delivering the same message that is being taught by the Saudi government. Kill every Shi'a or Jew behind every tree. They are jihading the impure Muslims in Iraq they do not want in power. Here is the real bullshit. Why OBL is jihading Shi'a police in Iraq to protest Jew treatments of Shiite Palestinians? His culture treats them both the same - martyr them all to hell. Are we supposed to believe that OBL is going to send his troops to kill Shiites in Iraq to save the Palestinians in ocupied parts of Israel? If OBL is encouraging the attacks in the ME against the Shi'a police, then his whole rationale for attacking the US on 911 was invalid. OBL seems to be killing under the same pretext as the Salafi (Wahhabi) message of fundametalism back in Saudi Arabia, namely, that all Jews and impure Shiites must be killed. The movement of the Taliban was rooted to the purging of all impure Muslims in Afghanistan, especially women. The treatment of women in Saudi Arabia is the worst in the entire Muslim world. The negativity of all religion is so frustrating. They always end up damning someone to hell. It's really unfortunate that we can't have a religion of free will to choose how to love God. Why do people like OBL get targetted as terrorists when they are delivering the same message of fundamentalism to the Arab world as the Saudi government? Now, I guess every liberal can easily make the connection between Bush, Saudi Arabia, and OBL. People that wish to live in a world of conspiracy can say that Bush might be protecting the very terrorists that are destroying Muslim lives in Iraq. I think the US has always maintained a plurality of friendships with people to provide balance. I surely hope the policy of this Bush administration is to resore as much Shiite and Kurdish power to the state of Iraq to check the aggression of the Salafi (Wahhabi) fundamental movements in Saudi Arabia. Even further, it would be good to protect as many different Muslim religions so limit the aggression between Saudi Arabia, OBL, Salafis, Taliban, Al Quaeda and every suicide bomb loving freak. Once the liberals on these threads apply the same standard of justice to the Saudi regime, we may eventually be able to free ourselves from this daily blame game about the daily killings of Shi'a in Iraq. I honestly believe that without our help, the Shiites and Kurds would not stand a chance against the massive rise of intolerance by their Muslim brothers.
