The House of Saud is as radical as any Muslim group. The radicals have a deadly disagreement on strategy. They all have the same goal.

Oh......for crying out loud. So what else is new? It's the same old, same old. Inflame young people by using class warfare tactics. What........terrorize the masses using words full of hatred, bigotry and intolerance? The stuff liberals say we must not do. Al-Qaeda preaches overthrow of House of Saud, warfare against Jews and Christians I say bring it on you freaking nut jobs, but against such powerful enemies, I bet they are afraid. Do they actually believe they can move the frame on the Overton Window like this with enough people and hope it sticks? These people do not possess rational minds. Overton window en.wikipedia.org As I understand it, the Overton window is a visualization tool used by “think tanks” (or dictators) that want to sway public opinion on certain issues. You start by outlining the continuum of possible opinions on an issue, including opinions which seem ridiculous or unthinkable. Then you figure out the narrower range of opinions that people currently consider reasonable. This range is the Overton window. The job of the think tank is to move the Overton window in a certain direction, so that ideas that were once unthinkable become acceptable to discuss, and ideas that were once radical become popular and perhaps even become policy. Along the way, certain ideas that were once popular may “fall out of favor” and become taboo. diveintomark.org Rant off!
