Saudis arrest 701 with "deviant" ideology that they themselves promote

This sounds great until one remembers that they have long been financing that "deviant ideology" outside the Kingdom. "Saudi Arabia arrests 700 preparing 'oil attacks,'" from AFP, June 26 (thanks to all who sent this in):

OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia has arrested 701 Islamists in recent months who were preparing attacks on oil industry installations, the interior ministry said on Wednesday.

Security forces "carried out several operations against followers of the deviant ideology and arrested a total of 701 people of various nationalities", said a ministry spokesman quoted by the official Spa news agency.

Of those arrested, "520 are still being held for their implication in the organisational and ideological plans of the deviant ideology".

Deviant ideology is the term used by Saudi officials to describe Al-Qaeda.

This story is almost laughable, the Sauds love to export their hateful cult, but when it backfires on them, they then jail those islamists. l hope the hands that feeds these islamists bites them back hard!

"Deviant ideology"?

Like marriage contracts for 1 day old baby girls?

I don't even want to get into what is sexually permissible for the muslim man who marries a baby, but you can find out yourself by googling "thighing babies".

Islam is truly warped.

Well there, Bush and Rice and all the smart officials, you have a new name for it "Deviant ideology". Which it is.

Only 700? Multiply by a million or so.

The "deviant ideology" is to mistake the princes, princelings, princelettes of the Al-Saud family, and their spaniel-courtiers, for bad people, greedy people, decadent people who some claim have been robbing the country blind.

How could anyone think that? Surely they must have embraced a "deviant" ideology to mistake the members of the benevolent and wonderful family whose ancestor, having defeated the Shammar tribe in Nejd back in 1920 (and already driven the Hashemites out of their position as the Guardians of the Two Holy Places into exile, with one Hashemite son, Faisal, plumped on the newly-created throne of newly-created Iraq, and another, Abdullah, being given as his consolation prize by the British all of Eastern Palestine), proceeded to take Arabia, rename it after themselves as "Saudi" Arabia, and in order to keep in power, handed over the intellectual and moral development of the country and its people to the most fanatical Wahhabis, which was not hard to do because the Al-Saud themselves, in the old days, were the most fanatical Wahhabis. Now they are attempting to crush the opposition that they fear the most, that from Muslims who don't like their Grand Theft (hold the "Auto"), don't like their decadence (oh, if only the C.I.A. had its cameras in southern Spain, and at the Trump Tower, and in Belgravia, and along Avenue Foch, and perhaps distributed a few to well-placed bellhops in the Western world's most luxurious hotels and resorts, what a video file -- On YouTube Now, unless the Saudis collaborate -- could be collected), don't like a thing about them, and are prepared to treat them as....Infidels!

The daggers-and-dishdasha Al-Saud, doing their little tribal dance, don't like that sort of thing. They don't mind it when Western critics say, accurately, after a week or a month or a few years in Saudi Arabia, summing up the place, that "money can buy everything -- except civilization." They don't mind the forlorn attacks on the Saudis for continuing to countenance slavery (see those ads in Saudi papers, where someone offers to trade a girl from the subcontinent for "a late-model American automobile"). They don't mind the memoirs of American military men denouncing the way in which the Saudis treated them with such arrogance, as mere hired hands, brought in as mercenaries to defend the Al-Saud. None of that worries them. They don't even worry about the world rising up and seizing, if not the oil directly, then the assets the Saudis have abroad, by way of compensating ourselves for the oligopolistic rents the Saudis have managed to charge, an amount that may well surpass the trillion or so in assets the Saudis may own in the West, and that with perfect justice oil-consuming Western states could seize, and that the Saudis could do nothing about - they'd still have to sell oil, and at this point, they have no real control over the market (they pretend they do), so they would have to continue to charge, as they do now, what the market, and not market manipulation that was availed of by them in the past, allows.

No, what worries the Saudis, those fabulously rich and decadent Saudis who rule that country, is the opposition that comes out of Islam. It was the same, of course, with Saddam Hussein. In Saddam Hussein's Iraq, the Christians had a kind of protection because they were, for Saddam Hussein, no threat. The potential threat, for him, were the more fanatical Shi'a, and political opposition was located in the mosques.

Similarly, the Saudis worry not about what the Infidels think, as long as those Infidels continue to give every sign of being frightened of the Saudis and their reaction to things -- see the "66 suitcases of cocaine" scandal, see the BEA bribery scandal (where the Law Lords have spoken, but the government of Great Britain will not enforce the rule of law when it comes to that scandal, for the Saudis have threatened to take their bribe-prompted business elsewhere), see the failure of the State Department to support the right enforcement of our own laws, when it comes to shutting down the Saudi Academy in Virginia). No, they are afraid only of the Islam-based opposition, because, let's face it, they know perfectly well how dangerously murderous fellow Muslims can be, and they may also suspect, at this point, that there are all kinds of secret supporters, because there is all kinds of disgust in Saudi Arabia, at the ruling family, and the regime that endures. And all that brave talk about the building of "economic cities" is simply blague, designed to make everyone think the Saudi rulers do have some kind of plausible plan for the nation's economy beyond oil. But of course they don't, and those "economic cities" will be as much of a waste as was the colossal investment in agriculture made over the past few decades, that all ended in failure, total failure. There is no real economy in inshallah-fatalist Saudi Arabia, though there is gold and greed aplenty.

What they cannot stand is the notion that the war on the Infidels may also come to include them. So their famous "de-programming" sessions of imprisoned Al-Qaeda members consists of having Muslim clerics come in and explain just how wonderfully Muslim the Al-Saud have been, how they are building mosques and madrasas everywhere in the Western world, are funding campaigns of Da'wa everywhere in the Western world -- look, here's the list, look what we are doing, look what we have done -- and that, never fear, the Saudis are doing more, and more effectively, than Bin Laden and his merry men could ever acheive.

And, of course, everything those tame Saudi clerics argue is true. The Saudi regime is the most effective bankroller, the most effective deployer, of the Money Weapon that makes the March of Islam, and so many local Jihads, possible.

So they are right to pick up those men for their "deviant" behavior -- in this case, the "deviant" notion that the dishdasha-and-dagger boys, with their sneeres of cold command, would forget, in all their decadence, to pay their colossal dues to Islam, would somehow overlook their duty to take part in the "struggle" or Jihad to ensure that all obstacles to the spread, and dominance, of Islam are removed. Why, the Saudis have spent close to 100 billion dollars ofthat Money Weapon to further the advance of Islam in the Infidel lands.

What more can good Muslims, devout but alas "deviant" Muslims, expect of them? They're doing their best for the very same goal.

Leave those princelings and princelettes alone. They're with you on the Jihad. Even if they choose, now and again, to phone in a money transfer from a 340-foot yacht off the coast of Marbella. For god's sake, be a little patient with the benign thoroughly Muslim Al-Saud.

We all have our faults.

Nobody's perfect.

Can you imagine the cries of outrage in the media if the U.S. were to arrest 700 deviant Moslems and hold them in the conditions in which Saudi jails hold their prisoners.? Do they have proper legal representation? Are all their creature comforts being provided, a la Gitmo? What about habeas corpus? Maybe we should send a team made up of Harvard Law faculty and Columbia Dept of Islamic Studies faculty, headed up by a couple of Supreme Court justices, to make sure these "deviants" get a fair trial. And make sure that the team stays to witness the beheadings that will follow the guilty verdicts.

I just hope the Royals can't escape when the AQ Tet Offensive commences. AQ should fight the real enemy and stop wasting time in the mountains.

There is one constant: Muslims are happy to practice jihad and to promote its spread throughout the world, so long as they themselves are not the targets.
Here you have the Saudis, happy to promote Wahhabism until it threatens THEM. Even then, they don't reject or even question the ideology that put them on someone's hit list.
Then you have Iraqi Sunnis, proudly supporting those fighting the "infidel occupier" until Iraqi Sunnis became the targets of their fellow Muslims. Suddenly the most virulently anti-American section of Iraq becomes our best friend?
None of them object to jihad. They just object to being made the targets of jihadists.

The Saudis are all for propagating their religion of hate and intolerance unless it works against them. What hypocrites. If there is a more disgusting family in the entire history of mankind than the Al-Saud family, right now I can't think of it.

deviant ideology=islam

In less then 30 days these 701 arrested individuals will all be released. They will have fulfilled their role for the Saudi's to get headlines of appearing to do something.

There will be no follow up articles from MSM.

It worked, they got their headlines.

Islam is a Religion of Peace and Love--and Zimbabwe is a prosperous Model Democracy.

Not.
