#1 The big news, if true was the last line quotes:

A Saudi official has said that Riyadh, concerned about the promotion of religious extremism, will close Islamic-affairs offices in its embassies and no longer will provide diplomatic status to Saudi clerics teaching overseas.

A little late in coming but I'm happy to see it happen none-the-less.

#2 Unfortunately, ruprecht, the rest of the story makes it clear the Saudis are lying. The two who are going to speak at the "conference" are the kind of people they say they'll no longer support.

#3 "Two Saudi Arabian extremists, both supporters of Osama bin Ladenâs al-Qaida terror network, have canceled plans to visit the U.S. this month to speak at an Islamic conference in Houston."

Could it be that their plans were "canceled" by the U.S. Visa department? Or did they realize that there is a shuttle service Houston-Gitmo?

#5 Maybe they can have their little hate fest in the Astrodome. We can seal the entrances, suck all the air out, and solve a lotta problems in one fell swoop.

#6 Was listening to one of the local talkshows today (950kprc), and they had some folks from the conference sponsors (DAWA? j. coats and 'walid'), the guy from the Saudi institute who apparently called bullshit on these 'speakers' (good for him), and a buddy of the dj or producer who spoke arabic on the show. Before they could even listen to the tape of what the mutt sheikh had to say, this 'Walid' guy started going off about how this guy was old, nobody knows when or where the tape was made of his speech, there were long blank spaces in the tape, blah blah blah. Basically just attacking the guy who 'denounced' the sheikh (imagine the fatwa on him will be forthcoming) instead of actually addressing what the mutt says on the tape (basically XXXOOO's to OBL). Lots of FUD and no substance about what this guy is spouting, so just another OBL apologist as far as I could tell, one of the "yes, but" crowd of saudi 'moderates'.

I think if the mutts are going to be so obliging as to congregate in one spot, the local FBI office should be getting pictures (if not fingerprints, cheek swabs, and vitals) from every attendee. Either that or line up some buses and ship them all off to Guantanamo. It sounds like nothing but a big saudi sponsored bash-America 'conference'. If they go off after friday prayers, they better be ready for all the bubbas with CCLs to start shooting back.
