| [An Nahar] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... , the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation all condemned on Tuesday the twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, calling them an act of terrorism. Three people were killed and more than 170 maimed in the bombings in the worst attack in the United States since the September 11, 2001 atrocities. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia sent a message of condolences to the American people, saying he was "saddened by the news of the two kabooms in Boston," state news agency SPA reported. "We condemn these acts of terrorism targeting innocent people and committed by criminals who represent only themselves and have neither religion nor faith." Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation of 57 Moslem states, said in a statement that "such actions targeting an event are cowardly and reprehensible." |

| #4 And pigs can fly, TW. Read the article I linked, g(r)omgoru. Dr. Fadl's argument is not that jihad is bad as such, but that jihad which brings down disproportionate death and destruction on the ummah -- as Al Qaeda did -- is proved to be a bad idea. |

| #2 Or a leaf from Dr. Fadl's book, g(r)omgoru: bringing down the wrath of America is proof that the jihad was against Allah's will. |
