U.S. duplicity MAIN CAUSE of terror – saudis
More of the same crap: Israel, through the US, wants to dominate the world (or is it the other way around? - they are never consistent about that).
By Sabria S. Jawhar The Saudi Gazette
SAUDIS believe that the double standard American policy in the Mideast is the main reason behind the violence and terrorist attacks in the world in general and the region in particular.
| Americans, on the other hand, believe that exploding wahhabi cut-throats are the problem... |
The American policy is based mainly on its interests that oscillate and vary regardless of those of other countries, said Abdullah Al-Sultan, a professor and expert on Political Sciences and international violence.
| Expert on what? The Koran? |
| I dunno, a Saudi says he's an expert on international violence, I guess I have to believe him. |
Al-Sultan remarks were prompted by statements recently made in the German publication Der Speigel by Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal who accused Washington of being unhelpful in the cause against terrorism because of its boundless support to Israel.
| Which is... ummm... fighting its own war against terror... |
There is a lot of frustration in the Islamic World, Alwaleed said, Most Saudis and most Arabs think that US does too little in Palestine and is too favorable to Israel.
| We, on the other hand, think the Arabians are doing too little to help with a settlement in Paleostine. Their chief activities seem to consist of giving money and vocal encouragement to whackjobs, while demanding the U.S. come up with a plan. Every time the U.S. does come up with a plan the whackjobs pee on it. |
| The Saudis could solve the Paleo settlement problem real quick, but giving money to build Gaza and the WB seems to be rather alien to their nature. |
In the interview Alwaleed also said the US could have avoided the Sept. 11, 2001 attack if it had adopted a stance less favorable to Israel, AFP reported.
| Perhaps. But I doubt it. There's still the fact that we're infidels and proud of it... |
Al-Sultan said that the powerful neo-conservatives mostly influence US policy and that they are acting with a sense of superiority and reflecting reality their real intention of controlling and shaping the world the way they want.
| Unlike, say, the Learned Elders of Islam... |
Israel also has a main role to play in the White House's general policy and that's related to Saudi Arabia in particular, he said. He supported Alwaleed's position, adding that if the US had exerted more efforts to solve the critical situation in Palestine it could have prevented bloodshed.
| The critical situation in Paleostine is maintained at a critical level by design, and not by U.S. design. |
They are following the saying, to defeat them, separate them in order to dominate the whole world, Al-Sultan said.
| He means "divide and conquer." For myself, I'd quote Smokey the Bear: "Only you can prevent forest fires." |
Sulaiman Tawfeeq, a Political Sciences professor at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, agreed with Al-Sultan on US policy in the region kindling Arab and Muslim anger in the cultural, political and commercial spheres. People are not only boycotting the American products but they are also boycotting the American values that are mostly humanitarian and lofty, Tawfeeq said.
| "Hahah, face! How's it feel to be without a nose? (Ow! Ow! Owwwwww!) |
Many educated people are now suspicious about any idea emanating from the United States because it has lost its credibility in their minds even those ideas that are reasonable.
| Since they're incapable of actually following logic, they have to wait for someone to tell them whether it's a good idea or a bad idea. Usually they're told it's a bad idea. |
To him the double-standard policy has made people more extremist in their judgment of whatever the US exports to them. Yet, Tawfeeq disagreed with both Prince Alwaleed and Al-Sultan on the causes of terrorism in Saudi Arabia. He said that people have to differentiate between their anger against American policy and the current escalating violence and terrorism.
| I'd say they have to stop considering guys with turbans and automatic weapons to be Kewl™... |
Terrorists are striking everywhere regardless of any religion, he said. They have their own agenda that they want to impose themselves on the whole world using Islam as an excuse. In his view, the terrorists are not reacting to what is happening in Palestine. On the contrary, they have not even talked or care about it, he said: They are acting out of an ideology that they are adopting .
| Having worked at it diligently, they've managed to come up with something even more loathesome than rule by princes. Oh, what to do? |
Nevertheless, he characterized the US strategy to fight terrorism as a failure because the war against terrorism cannot be won by military operations alone. It can only be won by supporting the international laws and organizations, as well as by being committed to the principles and values that govern relations in international society, he said.
| Sure was working well on September 10th, 2001, wasn't it? |
| Supporting international laws and organizations is optional however if you're a member of the Master Religion™. |
He considered the US policy in the Mideast as a separate issue, one that has created anger but not terrorism. It has also created unnecessary hatred between the East and the West, he said, also blaming that policy for the tension that has recently surfaced between the Saudi and US governments. The Kingdom can never ignore what is going on in Palestine.
| It will always be there whenever they need to change the subject... |
Our Islamic position puts more responsibility on our shoulders toward it, he said. He also said that while the United States commitment to Israel's security is understandable what is going on has exceeded the security issue to creating inhumane situations inside Palestine. This will never help in solving the problem and actually it is weakening the international efforts to fight terrorism, especially those exerted by European Union, he said.
| When was the EU's support for fighting terror anything other than weak? |
