#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!

#2 There are so-o-o-o many smart-assed remarks than could be made about that title...

Ok. I'll go first: Target Rich Enviornment.

#3 Can't wait for the analysis of "roots of terrorism".

Let me take a stab; Israel and the Infidel West.

#5 In other news, a fox hosted a conference on the raiding of henhouses.

#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.

#8 "You know... there just might be something to that 'not holding a viper too close to your chest' thing after all......"

#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?

#10 I think when Henry VIII had Thomas More beheaded.

#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.

#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.

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

#14 Plus a refresher course on Seething & Whiningâ¢

#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

#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.

#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?

#18 Well, if you want expert opinions, you go to the experts...
