#1 So China is supposed to reinterpret Islam for the Sauds? Not a chance.

#2 I suspect if it was the Chinese navy patrolling the high seas they would not take the softly, softly approach we do. I doubt the Chinese would have a moment's remorse or worried introspection if Mecca was a radioactive crater.

#3 Sort of off topic...Alow me to make a point. yeah, yeah, yeah...china can hurt us in the pocketbook and all. I understand. And someday they will (maybe) come for Taiwan...yeah, yeah, yeah...However, for the forseeable future...in order for the Chicoms to put the USA in the back pocket corner...well... they have to know that - indeed they do know - we just might be willing to trade New York, Chicago, LA, Atlanta et al for Tiawan. The Chicoms, (just as the Ruskies were able to do) - can say : you wanna go back to the middle ages? So long as the Chicoms understand that if they so much as TRY to take the USA back to the middle ages, they understand that the Ming Dynasty will begin to look like modernity to them in about 1500 years FROM the time they launch on the USA. The chicoms understand this. Muzzies will not. That's the difference between the chicoms and muzzies. Chicoms give a damn whether or not their civ survives. Muzzies do not. The muzzies want civ to end in order to usher in the Final Days.

#4 What one Muslim leader, Ibrahim Mogra of the Muslim Council of Britain, said about the Sudan case can also be applied to the Saudis: How does this help the cause of Islam? What kind of message and image are we portraying about our religion and our culture?

I would venture to say a very accurate and revealing one.
