#1 All nations, working in harmony, singing songs of peace, dignity, inclusion, diversity, harmony, oh muse sing! Shout the glory to something, whatever, as long as it's pretty.

#3 Same old pointless blather - ignored by absolutely everyone. Islam is always blameless - as is SaoodiLand. Yadda, yadda, phreakin' yadda. This must be about full employment goals in the Saudi Foreign Ministry - every kid coming home from college is hired and promptly given this assignment: write an apologist's response to terrorism in SaoodiLand / Islam.

#4 "Terrorists should never be allowed to practice their subversive activities from any territory,” with the provision that the following are not terrorists:
- anyone killing a Jew anywhere near Israel
- anyone killing a Hindu, ever
- anyone killing a Buhddist, ever
- anyone killing an American in one of the 1,335 authorized holy wars
- ...

#5 laughable. I can just see the Security Council debating just what is and is not terrorism.

Is a bus bombing by a paleo terrorism? nope.

Is IDF incursion into the west bank to root out Hamas terrorism? yep.

. . . and so on.

#6 The three pillars of the House of Saud are custodianship of Islam, wealth from crude oil, and an uncommonly close alliance with the US. Albeit, the latter pillar has become quite shaky since 9/11/01. I see this denunciation of terrorism by Fadh and Abdullah as an attempt to shore up the US pillar. But how sincere is it? Judging from previous Rantburg observations here--not very.

When two principal members of the Wahhabi-Saud family speak of holding forgiveness and not tolerating hatred and malice while funding palestian sucide/murder attacks they can't be too earnest in their call for anti-terrorism.

When Fahd says he hopes that Iraq will regain its stability, security and prosperity. while Saudi terrorists are in Iraq working counter to that aim, he can't be too serious either.

#9 The Western press has hardly scratched the surface of the growing schism within the House of Saud, and between the House of Saud and its antagonists that exist in northern and eastern Saudi Arabia. The House has about five years left... and counting.

#11 Unfortunately, because of the Wahabbism 'contract' with the house of the Saud about 300 years back, things are not going to be easy. No Terrorism = No Wahhabism = No House of Saud

Ah, GK, terrorism is such a flexible word....
