Another notable omission. Again, the plea to his listeners' consciences does not target the destruction of innocent human life in general, but focuses on how the acts harm Muslims, and make Islam look bad.
"Saudi cleric issues warning over militants," from Reuters:
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s leading cleric said on Monday Saudis should not join jihad outside the kingdom, in a warning over Saudis going to fight US-led forces in Iraq.
Media reports have said a significant number of Saudis have fought with Sunni insurgents in Iraq. "Our youth have become a commodity bought and sold by Middle Eastern and Western agencies, they became tools carrying out heinous acts," Grand Mufti said in a religious edict, or fatwa, published on the official SPA news agency.
"I advise those with money to be careful about where it’s spent so it does not damage Muslims and I urge scholars and preachers to explain the truth and take young people by the hand so that they see the reality," he said. "Saudis go for Gihad [sic] because they are passionate about their religion but they are not wise enough to know right from wrong," he said.
A strange remark. Indeed, many people look to their religious faith for guidance concerning what's right and wrong. Again, the Grand Mufti overlooks the role Islamic texts play here, while those who are "passionate about their religion," and whose consciences are shaped by the imperative to wage jihad will likely not care about what's bad for business.
If it comes out of the mouth of the evil House of Saud or their minions, it is just spin and public relations.
Wake up America.
The House of Saud has one of the best spin machines in the country (and they are all over this country) and they are the enemy.
They are the enemy.

...Before the Muslims began their violent Jihad and before I began reading Hugh and RS and others, I would have not noticed this distinction...
...I now know much more about Islam and I tell many......
Ban Muslim Immigration...
Sounds like he's speaking less like some *ahem* "religious leader"...and more like a military general.
I thought he'd conceal such blatancy better than that...but, not surprising considering the increased desperation on their part anyway.
lol
"Saudis . . . are passionate about their religion but they are not wise enough to know right from wrong," he said.
Maybe that's because islam doesn't teach them right from wrong. They should try studying Christian or Jewish or Confucian or Buddhist or classical Western writings.
"Saudi Arabia’s leading cleric said on Monday Saudis should not join jihad outside the kingdom, in a warning over Saudis going to fight US-led forces in Iraq."
....the Muslim terrorists are suffering great casualties.....the Iraqi rule is "you fight you die"...your choice...choose wisely....
....communications from Iraqi Muslim terrorist leaders to Al-Qaeda headquarters are showing the Iraqi Muslim terrorists are pleading for help....things do not seem to be going well.....
....dang!....those infidel bullets hurt....
Notice the Grand Mufti is only concerned about the bad image Islam might get.
If he were really serious, he'd tell young Saudis that their actions are sinful and contrary to the laws of God. Better yet, he'd tell them they'll go to hell for what they're doing, and that they can forget about any 72 virgins.
He might also demand that Saudi schools stop glorifying suicide bombers as Martyrs,and start condemning them as criminals.
"Again, the plea to his listeners' consciences does not target the destruction of innocent human life in general, but focuses on how the acts harm Muslims, and make Islam look bad".
Islam has no mandate to the universal practice of the Golden Rule. They have the Golden Fool Rule which will be their undoing. Islam's mandates to deception go against the needs of human nature. No one can love that which they do not trust. Deception is Islam's internal contradiction.

"Our youth have become a commodity bought and sold by Middle Eastern and Western agencies"
It is curious that he needs to accuse Westerners here. Any commerce in Saudi youth to commit crimes is done by Muslims.

Madman tells madmen they are getting too mad.
Madmen will kill madman.

A religion that instills uncontrollable passion, but not controlled wisdom, is a floudering religion indeed.
