Rehabilitate the murders, sure. But if a woman shows a strand of hair you have to chop her head off. Gotta love the Saudis

I am looking at the suggestion in the piece that the jihadis supposedly see the world in terms of "the global Islamic community," but something just does not jive there. You see, the phrases like "international community," "world order," and "global" this or that don't exactly come from the Islamic Weltanshaung. This stinks of projection.

@caligulash: Those phrases make sense if you look at them in the context of what radical Islam preaches: establishment of a global caliphate.

Wow. Confused young men who don't have wives are more likely to become terrorists?
Thank goodness we have things like Dr. Who, Second Life and Internet Porn in the west, otherwise we would have a world war or something.

@Weegee's bored: Seated inside a gigantic papier mache sculpture of an improvised explosive device, a reformed Saudi terrorist reads from the works of Kahlil Gibran.

By the Saudi approach, do you mean randomly selecting a few jihadi's for inclusion in a show piece class that is nothing more than PR while the routinely imprisoning, torturing, and killing any other suspected extremist opposing the House of Saud?
