| Top Saudi cleric calls for code of conduct to curb violence |
| 2014-08-15 |
| [TODAYONLINE] A top Saudi Mohammedan holy man called on Friday for a global code of conduct for leaders, scholars and young people to halt a further slide into violence and "terror" in the Middle East. The U.S.-allied kingdom has grown increasingly alarmed since Death Eaters from an offshoot of al Qaeda captured large areas of neighboring Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic caliphate. At his Friday sermon in Mecca, the imam and preacher of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Sheikh Abdul-Rahman al-Sudais, decried "mass massacres against humanity" in Gazoo, Syria and Iraq. "All of this happens under the sight and hearing of the international community ... which raises fear that a generation would come to believe only in violence, terror and the clash of civilizations," Saudi state news agency SPA quoted Sudais as saying. He said "there was an urgent need to prepare a global code of conduct in which the leaders and scholars would deliver their messages and in which the youths would set their thoughts right and the path of the new media is set right," SPA added. The report did not go into details of the contents of such a code of conduct. Militant groups regularly use websites to spread messages from firebrand ... firebrandsare noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments... holy mans and publicize attacks. The conservative Islamic kingdom has kept a close eye on sermons for evidence of militancy since al Qaeda staged attacks that killed hundreds in 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... a decade ago. |

| #4 code of conduct to curb violence Is that like a secret handshake or something? I thought they already had one that goes: 1. Wink, wink 2. Nudge, nudge 3. "Say no more." |
