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

From Wikipedia:

Unlike many other monarchial wives in the Middle East, Sheikha Mozah has been a high-profile figure in her nation's politics and society, actively involved in her husband's government. She was a driving force behind Education City and Al Jazeera Children's Channel.

I am guessing the Al Jazeera Children's Channel features the Hamas Mickey.

She said defeating extremist violence and other ills would require “a major paradigm shift,” but didn’t offer concrete details of solutions.

That’s because she probably doesn’t understand what a major paradigm shift means. I doubt she even wrote the speech. She should start by being honest and courageous and self-critical of a failed religion that has kept its people down for centuries.

I am guessing the Al Jazeera Children's Channel features the Hamas Mickey.

No, but they do broadcast throughout Europe, making sure that muzzie children do NOT accept Western notions of democracy.

I doubt you'd find Porky Pig cartoons there, either.

"Certainly, failed U.S. policies in the Middle East have provided a fertile ground for radical groups." Her 15-day U.S. tour includes stops in New York, Los Angeles and Houston to push her country's vision for the future of the Middle East
and

But she also criticized Western democracies, referencing U.S. participation in Iraq in questions afterward.

It's hard not to laugh a little. Which is it? The world wants the US to have successful policies for the Middle East and the world. Or they don't? It seems like she's got her dem talking points down cold. And the dems in these cities, they don't notice the discrepancy? They want us out of Iraq but apparently not the Middle East? Oh, and send money.

In a rare appearance of a female Middle Eastern leader, Qatar's first lady argued Islam has been incorrectly blamed for the rise of extremist violence when the real culprits include poverty, a lack of political freedom and "failed U.S. policies."

The multi-multi- millionaire Osama bin Laden isn't risking his fortune and life for any other reason than he realizes he gains nothing by worldly gains if he looses his soul and doesn't get to heaven with Allah. It has nothing to do with poverty or freedom or our policies.

The 19 young men, mostly Saudis, who died on 9-11 killing us infidels came from well off families, and were better educated than many Americans,and had a much better worldly future than most Americans. They weren't affected by poverty or freedom.

There have been hundreds of suicide bombers, many from well off families, who went to Iraq to die killing us.Poverty ,freedom and our policies aren't the motivation.

The mothers in Palestine who delight in their children dying while killing Infidels, and the mothers themselves who have died in suicide attacks on the Infidels do it for the same reason that all of the above have . It is religiously motivated.

They have the best reason in the world for killing us from their perspective and Islamic belief. It is because God (Allah) wants it done and it is a sure way to paradise.

If you don't understand that you will never make sense of the problem. - tom
