#1 Ah, coming from Ali Aswad Al-Aseri, Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan, all makes sense. In a way, I quite agree with him, the "western media" is projecting the wrong image of Islam, they're far too sympathetic, apologetic, swooning, and ass-kissing in their coverage.

Jewels:
"There is no provision for terrorism in Islam. Terrorists have no religion. Islam is a religion of peace, brotherhood and tolerance."

"Islamic culture is very rich and what we need is to introduce it to the outer world effectively."

Uh, huh. He must be talking about the other Islam, definitely not the one I've seen -- in his home country.

#3 Everything I knew that was worth knowing about Islam, I was reminded of on 9/11.

#4 Very well stated, Dave D. I would imagine that they don't consider beheadings, beatings, killings, sharia, women as 2nd class citizens, etc. as "Terrorism." It's all in a good day's work for the jihadi faithful!

#6 'Western media projecting wrong image of Islam'

For some reason, the idea of western media presenting "another" image of Islam makes me wonder if jerking-off with the other hand is really "doing it different".

#7 Since terrorism isn't sanctioned by Islam and all that certainly there will be no problem when we start burying terrorists in pigskin. Right?

#8 Should have come out strong from the get go. None of this religion of peace nonsense.

Islam is a religion of submission and we should have called it that from the get-go.
