Saudis Reject Bin Laden and Terrorism: New Zogby International Poll

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Allies against Terrorism | August 2003 | The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Oh by human rights, they refer to muslims or infadels or both? Hardly think infedals qualify human to Saudies.

Saudis are nearly unanimous (95%) in their belief that Bin Laden's claimed actions are not consistent with their values,...

What an interesting way to phrase the question. I wonder how many Saudis believe Bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. I vaguely recall polls in other Arab countries (Palestinians or Jordanians, maybe?) indicating appallingly large percentages didn't think he did it.

I wish Mr. Zogby had asked that question.

Pure Bullsh*t

On 9-11-01, there was widespread celebration in the so-called "Kingdom". Some Americans working at one large company reported that their Saudi colleagues there were pratically high-fiving one another over the day's events. Outdoor parties were held in some neighborhoods, and at one hospital, several American nurses quit after finding Osama bin Laden screensavers up on all the computers the day after the attacks.

Of course none of this matters, since we're not supposed to know or care who sponsored the worst-ever attack on this country.

"On 9-11-01, there was widespread celebration in the so-called Kingdom."

That is an image that will forever stay with me. These people only respect Arab and Muslim lives. The rest of us are dirt beneath there shoes!

Zogby is spinning for the Saudis. Why doesn't he ask them if they approve of Palestinian bus bombings or Palestinian snipers shooting Israeli children? No, he says "are you in favor of Saudi buildings blowing up, or not?" and then spins those results as "most Saudis are against terrorism." No, most Saudis are against being victims of terrorism. They have absolutely no qualms about inflicting it on the rest of us.

And apparently, they are hunky-dory with what OBL has been up to.

And are probably quite happy that our government refuses to unclassify a list of suspected(read known) Saudi's who bankroll terrorists.
