| Saudi Arabia to host conference on terrorism | |
| 2003-11-20 | |
| There are so-o-o-o many smart-assed remarks than could be made about that title... Experts on terrorism will attend an international conference held in the Saudi capital in February to ascertain ways of combating extremism and the role Islam can play in halting violence.

| #17 Well if Prince Nayif can open a conference on human rights anything is possible... Like Gasse Katze said, I think the clucking & flapping noises are getting too loud to ignore, perhaps the bayt as-Sa'ud could benefit from reading a biography of Ethelred the Unready? |

| #16 Forgot to add that Saudis are also trained there, and many of these folks go abroad to work in Kingdom-funded mosques. You know, kind of like the Filipino priest who might work in a parish in McCook, Nebraska. |

| #15 Imam Mohamed University trains non-Saudi Muslim imam types who later return home to work in Wahibi/Royal Family-funded mosques. Yes, let's hope they DO discuss root causes |

| #13 I presume this will feature how-to seminars on covering your tracks, self-serving rhetoric, and sucking up to stupid Westerners. |

| #12 âThe importance of such a conference comes from the fact that the Kingdom has been recently a target of terrorism.â Wasn't important that SA is also the major exporter of terror and violence? Shudda continued with the baksheesh so the chickens wouldn't come back to the roost. |

| #11 They OBVIOUSLY want to do better than 15 out of 19 next time. By Allah's eyes, they expect 100% participation! This conference is a good first step. |

| #9 Almost hard to make this topic any more absurd than where it started from. I'm nearly rendered speechless by the Saudi hutzpah! When was the last time a lawyer was rendered speechless? |

| #7 How about "Be interesting to see who blows up..." |

| #6 Guys, it's really simple to figure out what this will be. They're gonna look at ways for Islam to counter Israeli terrorism and American violence. |

| #4 "the role of Islam"?... @_@ ... |

| #3 Can't wait for the analysis of "roots of terrorism". Let me take a stab; Israel and the Infidel West. |

| #1 "I was a mere amateur at car bombs until I attended Mustafah's workshop." ...to ascertain ways of combating extremism and the role Islam can play in halting violence... By being more extreme and more violent! It's genius! |
