#1 He can say whatever he wants, but the truth is most of the terrorists lately have held Saudi passports.

#2 "No country in the world has been spared terror"

He's talking out his ass. There are a lot of countries out there and I'm sure there are many that haven't been struck by suicide-bombing religious fanatics!

Canada comes to mind... and Singapore... and Belize... and Tahiti... and Finland... and Romania... I could continue, but I won't.

#3 Spare me, Khaled. "...decades of tolerance and flexibility in its religious message..."

That's why workers in Saudi are given different residence permits (igama) based on Muslim (green), non-Muslim (brown). No open worship is permitted by any other religion other than Islam. In his mindset, the flexibility and tolerance are only within the Muslim community.

Morocco, Tunisian, Egypt, UAE, etc. are much more open. This openess on their parts, other Muslim countries, are what the killers are after.

#4 Hit the wrong button. Clarification: If you're a Muslim, you get a green Igama, brown if you're non-Muslim.

Remarks about Morocco, etc. mean that even these relatively tolerant societies, just by the fact that churches, synagogues(Morocco) exist there, make their leaders less Muslim in the eyes of these Wahibite murderers.

#5 "no country in the world has been spared terror"
is only a slight exaggeration. Many countries had citizens in the twin towers. Many others have citizens who live and/or work in diplomatic areas in countries that are in the terrorist cross hair. The larger point that the Soddies still can't bring themselves to say is that Islam is the only religion where institutions (mosques and schools) incite murder on a large scale and regular basis.

#6 Islam is the only religion that approves of believers blowing themselves up and taking others with them.

#7 Wasn't Samson praised for dropping that temple on his enemies and his own self too?

#8 Ok Aris, how about: Islam is the only religion were believers ACT on their mythologies? And how about, Islam is the ONLY major religion were high ranking "respected" religious leaders call for murder?

Now I want you to work on this assignment: find me the religious leader of a major religion who has called for the murder of others. Note: I said the murder of others, as in death, not saying they don't like some religion or they think the other religion is heretical. I said call for the MURDER of other people.

I'll await your response.

#9 One correction: I meant "where believers ACT on their suicide/murder mythologies."
