Arabia
Saudi to open militant-monitoring center
2017-05-21
[YAHOO] 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 the Soddy national face...
is taking new steps to counter the messages of Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and other Islamist Death Eater groups online, a senior Saudi official said on Saturday, as U.S. President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
began a visit to the kingdom.

Mohammed al-Issa, secretary-general of the Saudi-based Moslem World League, told news hounds the kingdom will open a coordinating center on Sunday in an inauguration ceremony attended by Trump and Saudi King Salman
...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians....
Saudi Arabia aims to take the fight beyond military action "because we know these groups can only be defeated if we defeat their ideology", he said.

"Al Qaeda did not collapse after the fall of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
because its ideology still existed."

Issa, who also directs the defense ministry's new Ideological War Center and has a seat on the kingdom's Council of Senior Scholars, said Saudi Arabia had already begun initiatives to discredit and dismantle murderous Moslem websites.

The Ideological War Center, which launched operations last month, aims to correct what it calls "misguidance" about Islam through its channels on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.

The kingdom's Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition has also established the world's biggest digital center to monitor ISIS and al-Qaeda activities online, said Issa.

He said the digital center had closed thousands of Death Eater websites.

#4  Is it just "show" on the part of the Saudis to get mucho USA boodle?

I vote for genuine fear that President Trump is the monster depicted by our media, and therefore the stupid, vicious idiot must be soothed. Everyone (except for the majority of Americans who voted in most of the country) believes the media, which makes the repeated astonished comments after first meetings with the president about how closely he listened and the intelligence of his questions as the meeting went far longer than scheduled so fascinating.

#3  He said the digital center had closed thousands of militant websites.

Close-off deatheater's ability to communicate but shut-down our ability to monitor terrorists? Is it just "show" on the part of the Saudis to get mucho USA boodle? Or maybe it is really a firewall against Iran meddling in terrorism. Doesn't do much for Saudi meddling in terrorism.
