Saudi Arabia’s crown prince slams extremists
2003-10-18
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz on Friday denounced extremists as deviants of the Islamic faith and called for stronger institutions to counter creeping militancy.
Better take that seriously, Prince. They're out to get you...
He said in a speech on the final day of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) summit that the crisis facing the world’s Muslim community was partly intellectual in nature.
Other than the explosives, you mean?
This emanates from increasing “over zealousness, leading to extremism, which turns them to terrorism.”
I think it stems from indulging, supporting, and financing violence against the people you don't like and then being surprised when somebody decides he doesn't like you, either. There's also a heavy dose of religious fanaticism involved, that's aggravated by ignorance, brutality, the desire to despoil others of their wealth and women, and in-breeding.
Stressing that Islam is a religion of kindness, mercy and tolerance, Prince Abdullah said a “minority” of deviant terrorists should not be allowed to tarnish the image of Islam. “The bullets that kill women and children, terrorise those secured in their safety and destroy innocent communities do not come from rifles but from deviant thoughts and misguided interpretations of our great religion and its noble message.” He urged the 57-member OIC to strengthen institutions to help counter rising extremism among Muslim youth.

#2  He's claiming that bullets can be fired from the mind. -- Also bottle rockets can be launched from your anus; saw it done in Jackass the Movie.

#1  Let's see here:
He wants a Majority to Tarnish The Image of Islam™ and He's claiming that bullets can be fired from the mind. In my world that qualifies for the white sleeveless jacket.

ps Somebody call Kim du Toit I think he would want a picture for his collection.
