#1 "Cut any holy men's heads off lately?"

Nailed it, Fred. The whole game boils down to the Friday "Prayers" spew and the imams who deliver it. The imams are the key. If the Saudis - or any other "Govt" wanted to control the jihadi component, this is the most obvious and easily controlled major choke point. Here is where jihadis are created by the images of glory and Paradise peddled by the imams, recruited and handed off to the active jihadis, and funded - through the imams' demands for zakat and "charity" donations.

When heads roll, regularly and in number, then we'll have tangible proof of the existence of Moderate Muzzies, not just untapped Resource Muzzies waiting for the call.

It is my opinion that the Lists are mostly bullshit - some idealistic sacrificial fodder, some desperate dupes and fools on the payroll to be used when PR needs demand it, and a very few bona-fide loose cannon baddies. Can't have too many of that last type, cuz you need "victories" for the PR machine - and these guys actually fight back. Nayef is a player. Arabnews, GulfNews, KhaleejTimes, et al are fed, and faithfully trumpet, whatever Nayef wants, no more and no less.
