We're sending some Guantanamo prisoners to Saudi Arabia, where they will enter into a deradicalization program. Saudi Arabia has a comprehensive terrorist rehabilitation program that has an extremely high success rate. If you want to learn more about the prevention, treatment, and after care programs for extremists, here is a PDF from the Carnegie Endowment website that explains it in detail. The core of the program is incarcerating extremists, and having them spend a great deal of time with Muslim clerics who prove to them that their violent interpretations of Islam are wrong, and they are not following Islam correctly. Re-education/rehabilitation programs that are following this model are now in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Iraq. Just thought this was interesting, so I wanted to share it.
Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia were the only country (other than Pakistan) to have diplomatic relations with Taliban. They financed the Taliban to help them consolidate power. They helped destroy Afghanistan. This rehabilitation stuff is a farce.
How are terrorists created? Not just Muslim "terrorists"... The Hindu terrorists in Sri Lanka... the Catholic terrorists in Northern Ireland... What gives anyone a right to label a group of people terrorists and not others when both the groups are basically committing the same damned crimes?
They are one of our best allies. Extremist Muslims were created by the US during the cold war. It is just that when they went against us, that we started caring. Peace,
That statement is misleading. It's true that 30 years ago during the cold war, assistance from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the US were provided to the mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet Union. That's it. This was not the Taliban or Al-Qaeda that we assisted. We did not "create" extremist Muslims, and THEY are responsible for their own actions, not the US.

Without actually reading your entire list, I thought this entry was particularly humorous. How about the Pakistani troops in Somalia during the same time.... were they there illegally? What exact legal system would you be referring to in Somalia?
Lol that right there destroys any credibility to your statement. Again, your hate for the US reeks in that post. Good try though. Maybe next time.
Why would I hate USA? I love the US Constitution, the freedoms that you have, a luxurious lifestyle, smart, law-abiding citizens, spirit of innovation... I love it all... Its just your foreign policy, your imperial hubris that I hate... Its very easy to discount my post just by saying "LOL you hate USA" or "LOL you are antisemetic". Its pathetic. You government commits crimes around the world, had been doing it for decades. It has created an empire, with troops in 140 countries in 800 bases around the world. It has time and again supported dictators, in the Middle East, East Asia, Central Asia, Africa and Latin America. You want to ignore it all... fine with me... All this will result in corruption of your values, and you will no longer be the leader of the "free" world.
And you are completely ignoring the Pakistani troops in Somalia. Like you normally do when points are placed in front of you. What about the rest of the UN things?
firstly, LTTE is a Tamil terrorist group and not a Hindu terrorist group. Majority of Tamils in Sri Lanka are Hindus, but Tamils also include people of other faiths including Tamil Muslims. Source. "Islamic terrorists" are called so because they consider themselves warriors of Islam and "fight for Islam". The nomenclature is not forced upon them, but chosen by the groups themselves. Jaish-e-Mohammed, Khuddam ul-Islam, Islamic Jihad Movement ,Armed Islamic Group of Algeria and what not....
One thing I kinda like about the Saudis and their laws with regard to child rapists/murders (and its ironic given their founding father of hate in Islam liked young girls around 9) is they behead them, then sew their heads back on and crucify them. Talk about a deterrent.
I think what it really does is insures that that sick turd will never be able to do what he did again.
