Saudi clerics fear terror attack
2003-11-12
EFL & Texture
Saudi clerics who have offered lot’s and lot’s of CA$H, even more this time to mediate between militants and the government say they believe fresh terror attacks are imminent. .... Saudi clerics who have been trying to mediate between the government and the unknown armed militants,
Question: If they are "unknown" how then does one "mediate" with them?
have been unable to make a breakthrough. But the talks are said to be continuing.
Unknown? Huh? Tip to the clerics: A quick scan of attendees of Friday’s prayers should yield a few hints.
Our correspondent reports that according to one participant in mediation efforts, the unknown militants have made two demands:

-Immediate reform of the judicial system

Translation: Release all the terrorist fiends in custody... And here is the money demand...

-An end to "attacks on them" by the authorities.
Ka-Ching! Translation: We desire to roam the earth freely enslaving infidels, murdering innocent Jews, and ramping up Honor Killings. So STOP ATTACKING US!!!

They're still trying to negotiate with the Bad Guys. Amazing... but not unexpected.

#3  I would recommend an advanced mediation class for all Saudi clerics if the attacks continue. Don't mind the charred walls and smokey smell of the classroom, but the semester might be a long one.

#2  Hmm. I know we've questioned Saudi effectiveness, but based on these demands of the "unknown" militants, THEY think it's too much heat.

I wonder - has their harvest yet yielded a bitter taste? No? Then by all means, let the "militants" stage more and more attacks, until the clerics and the Saudi royal family understand.
