Qatar's first lady argues Islam not the root of extremism

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

"In the Middle East, youth feel politically paralyzed, and are doubly excluded. Like the general population, they cannot choose their governments and are severely limited in venues of self-expression," she said. "Certainly, failed U.S. policies in the Middle East have provided a fertile ground for radical groups."

The fact that the Middle East is stuck in the 7th century is all our fault. Good to know.

However idiotic her opinion might be, this thread still deserves her picture:

HRH Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned

Another “blame Bush” nitwit speaking.

"Certainly, failed U.S. policies in the Middle East have provided a fertile ground for radical groups."

She makes no sense whatsoever! First she blames it on not being free to choose their government and then blames the USA which is providing that freedom in the M.E.

She's an assclown.

Actually, she's right. Here's how:

Problem: Poverty
Cause: Islamic males stuck in the 7th Century.

Problem: Lack of Political Freedom
Cause: Islamic males stuck in the 7th Century.

Problem: Failed U.S. Policies
Cause: Islamic males playing the Victim Card to Congressional Dhimmocrats...

Sheikha Mozah is the second of three wives of Qatar's emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, and is a leading voice for increased female participation in public life and education.

So isn't she actually the second lady of Qatar? If I were the first wife I would be a little upset that the second wife is getting top billing now.

I would say her point about disaffected youth is not far from the truth. You get mad about something, but don't feel you have any way to change what you are mad about until someone comes up to you with a plan. A charismatic imam telling you "your anger is a gift" and that you will have all this power and 72 virgins is probably a pretty seductive thing.

You have not bint kidding.

“Failed U.S. policies” is code for “support of Israel”.

The lives of 500 million ME Muslims have been ruined by 5 million Jews. Sure.

"Why is this woman allowed to speak??!! Stone her!! Stone her!!!"

[bedolido]

WHAT A CROCK!!!!!

[hunter112]

...the real culprits include poverty, a lack of political freedom and "failed U.S. policies."

Let's see, those things could apply to sub-Saharan Africa, many places in South America, and a lot of places in East Asia, yet their citizens are not slamming airplanes into our cities.

This b!tch is gonna find out seriously what "failed U.S. policies" mean when we withdraw from her sand dunes, and let the Shiites go to war with the Sunnis. May Mecca turn into a smoldering ruin on the next hajj (pilgrimage).

[CarrotAndStick]

On WikiPedia, it says this woman has had seven kids. With a face and structure like that, something doesn't fit. Lol!

Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned told the Los Angeles World Affairs Council Tuesday that...

Muslim women have names ??

[Poincare]

As well informed as Marie Antoinette.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

DANG !!

"Certainly, failed U.S. policies in the Middle East have provided a fertile ground for radical groups."

Replace "failed US policies" with "Israel's survival" for the real point she was making.

Maybe we need to hear from wives 1 and 3 before knwoing the position of the First Women. BTW—which of the three have honorary degrees from US universities???
