| "Foreign Hands" Behind Riyadh Bombings | |
| 2003-12-01 | |
Prince Abdul Rahman, deputy minister of defense and aviation, has said âforeign handsâ are behind the Riyadh bombings that left scores of Saudis and expatriates dead.
Now the money quote. âSaudi Arabia is among the countries being targeted by those who donât want to see the Kingdom apply Islamic law. The divine system and the man-made system should not be equated. They (foreign hands) want to make us accept man-made laws and follow what others want us to do. Being one of you, I find myself obliged to tell you that plots are being hatched against you, including the recent criminal acts. Canât be your home-grown islamic fundi wackos, nope, has to be a insidous foreign plot. âThere are some countries that stand behind these acts. I know that none of you will accept this. They seek to divide you into parties and groups that fight each other and so fulfill the wishes of outsiders. This will not happen because you all reject it,â he was quoted by the Saudi Press Agency as telling officers and soldiers at the base. Prince Abdul Rahman said no one who truly believed in God would accept the rule of foreigners. âWe thank Almighty God that the rulers and people of this country have never been subjected to foreign rule, either covertly or overtly or through some authority claiming to be advocates of Arab nationalism or Islam.â "This is my families country, and nobody is more islamic than us!" He said those behind the recent criminal acts in the country would not succeed. âThey want to harm this country because they donât tolerate anyone who truly believes in God and applies divine laws." Funny, I thought al-Queda bombed Saudi because they didnât think you were holy enough. "But no matter what they do and regardless of the bombings and killings, they will not prevail because we will all stand firm in the face of these attempts. You in the armed forces and your colleagues in the security forces will continue to do the missions you have been entrusted with, and you should always be fully prepared to defend your country,â the prince added. "Cuz if you donât do your job, my ass is toast" | |

| #1 Don't you hate it when people are so lame that they can't name names. He hides his retoric as though it was Canada or maybe even the US (some countries). But it's Iran. |
