Saudi Arabia under attack
The Saudi government is subjected to two kinds of attacks: visible and invisible....This evilisation would eventually justify another crusade and another hand picked government on the pattern of Afghanistan and Iraq because it would prove that neither the rulers nor the opposition capable for form a tolerant “democratic” government in Saudi Arabia...The Wall Street Journal’s November 10 articles by Khalid Abou El Fadl, is a good summary of the invisible attacks on Saudi government. Invisible are these attacks in the sense that they do not take lives immediately. In the short run, they help form a public opinion that later on tolerates UN sponsored genocide for 12 years and ensures a total silence at illegal wars, accepts killings of thousands of civilians and indefinite occupations.

It is interesting here to note that perpetrators of the invisible attacks are quick to label “religious extremists” running Al Qaeda and religious extremists ruling Saudi Arabia,” but conveniently ignore religious extremists who are responsible for carnage and in charge occupation in Iraq. They very tactfully hide religious extremists sitting in the White House. They never ask: If Al Qaeda and the Saudi government are sharing the same “intolerant ideology,” and Saudis are funding terrorists, why do the “terrorists” come back to haunt their sponsors?..Why should such a questionable “war on terror” be declared a standard for judging validity of one or another kind of falsely classified Islam? We must realize that anything that negates and anyone who is not ready to buy Bush’s hypocrisy and lies are not necessarily evil.

What else can the US expect from the kith and kin of the people they trained and “indoctrinated.” Why blame madrassas? Whatever was true yesterday is true today as well. There can be no double standards of application for truth and justice...
The Soviets could conveniently found many Muslims who would proudly call themselves “comrades,” willing to sacrifice their lives for a red revolution. Where are they now? Did not most of them turned into “moderates” now for promoting another godless ideology?...recommended that Congress fund a study to determine “whether and how the Saudi government is propagating a religious ideology that explicitly promotes hate and violence toward members of other religious groups.”..Why does it not conduct a study in finding out how the US policies of domination, its double standards of justice, human right and freedom, and an open war against international norms create hatred and promote violence towards everything Western among the oppressed populations?

A clear evidence of the visible war on Saudi Arabia is the latest bombing in Riyadh. The strange target for the attack was a compound housing foreign workers and their families—virtually all of them Muslims from Lebanon and other Arab and south Asian countries. The blame for the attack was immediately put on the shoulder of “Islamist” opposition to the Saudi government. ..A number of academic and intelligence experts on the Middle East and Al Qaeda, however, have rightly expressed skepticism about this official interpretation...The Saud family sits upon more oil resources than Saddam Hussein. If both the Saud family and its opposition are proved intolerant Islamists, promoting hate, intolerance and violence, proposal for installing yet another hand picked government, such as the Iraqi Council or the government of Karzai’s and fellow war lords, would become more presentable to Western public and respective “representative” assemblies.

2. Saudi duplicity
It is pretty clear that the ruling Saud family has---A. control of all the wealth coming from oil in the Saudi Kingdom and---B.has been paying off the radical elements in Saudi Arabia by paying for their religious schools in the false hope that they {the radicals} would then focus on other countries, religions, types of governments, etc. They are finding out that you can not make a deal with the devil and not get burned.
