middleeast is continent of terror

Middle east is a continent of terror. US and the world community need to wipe terrorism in these states supported by Royal families in respective countries. Royal families are trying to preach voilent ways of living in the name of islam. World has seen that Middle east is a place for terrorists, mafia and fanatics. Democracy can only help bring peace and eradicate terrorism.

US and world community need to wipe out anarchy and enforce democracy in middle east to make this world a better place to live and bringforth peace!

Shame on arabs who are preaching violent way of living, fanatics and terrorists.

Shame on arabs who preach racism and capitalism in every day life because of riches by oil resources.

Shame on arabs who encourage polygamy, forced prostitution and human trafficking.

Everybody is a Victim

Many terrorists could be qualified as victims - victims of hardline, extremist theologist, ignorance, and misinformation. Muslim Arabs are victims of demonization; we are victims of misinformation and rush to vengence policies of the Bush administration.

Even a small effort to do something about "curing" terrorism should be lauded. It will take many such efforts, small and large to do something more than create more violence in the Middle East.

A Second Look at the Saudis

I'm sure the Saudi royals appreciate your help with their ridiculous little PR gambit here. No nation is more responsible for the rise of Al Qaeda and the attacks on 9/11 than Saudi Arabia. And that is just the tip of the iceberg:

And how do they pursue those who are chomping at the bit to murder Americans? Through a glorified "catch and release" program. Willie Horton never had it so good.

Meanwhile, they continue to perpetuate the rabidly xenophobic brand of Islam which is at the heart of our problems in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and lower Manhattan for that matter:

You're being played, folks. And as for the Bush administration, I think their credibility on Saudi Arabia, and the War on Terror in general, speaks for itself.

With God's Help, we will eradicate terrorism from Saudi Arabia

"With God’s Help, we will eradicate terrorism from Saudi Arabia as it's against our tolerant religion and peaceful values", the is the phrase that has been reiterated by the Saudi King and Crown Prince for the last few years. This shows how we take this phenomenon seriously. For the last few years, Saudi Arabia has launched comprehensive programs specialized to root terrorism.

Saudi Arabia's civilian and government agencies were attacked by terrorists without distinction between Arab, American, Muslim or Christian.

Even though our cooperation has been praised by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, for cracking down on terrorists and their financing, unfortunately, we occasionally hear from the US Treasury department about how much work remains for the Saudi government to crack down on terrorist financing.

While Saudi Arabia has establish a High Commission for overseeing all charities contributors and donations, to stop and freeze all suspect terrorist assets, it's extremely disappointing for Saudis to hear such baseless claims coming from a major US government agency which we consider a partner against terrorism.
