Time for Regime Change in Riyadh

>From Bali to New York to Casablanca the Islamic Bombers strike. They
show no mercy, indiscriminately killing women and children, babies in
their cots, children in pizza parlours or Jews worshipping their Lord
on the Sabbath. Islamo-fascism is the single greatest threat to world
peace since the fall of the Communist tyranny. The countries of the
West must make a choice now whether to stand up and fight the scourge
or to continue to appease and kowtow to the Arab dictators and the
terrorists under their control. Appeasement will be met with further
terrorism, further death and destruction and will destabilise the
entire globe.

Al-Qaeda was not born in a vacuum. It was born through years of Saudi
funding of Wahabist Islamic fanaticism in the mosques, madrasas and
community centres of the Middle East. The oil-rich Arabs have exported
these vile Islamo-fascist ideals to the shores of Western Europe. The
terrorists will ultimately turn on their taskmasters and set the
entire Arab world alight. The bombings in Saudi Arabia were a sign of
what is yet to come.

The Europeans liked to fool themselves that Arab fanaticism was only
Israelâs problem. The Arab apologists in Europe still believe that the
Arabs could be satisfied if they were given the Jews as a scapegoat.
If only that little Jewish country ceased to exist, all our problems
would disappear, they liked to kid themselves. The spread of Islamism
was eased, nay even helped, by Western apologists who turned a blind
eye for decades and preferred to sell the Arabs weapons rather than
believe that these might be turned on them one day.

The war has started; it was declared on September 11, 2001, and much
of the Western world still has not awoken to the dark days ahead. From
the Philippines to Kashmir, to Iraq, to Indonesia, to Turkey to North
Africa, to the rues and boulevards of Paris, the children of Mohammed
are on the march. Today, the growing numbers of Muslim citizens of
Western Europe are being brainwashed through the constant agitation
and propaganda of 24-hour Arabic satellite television networks. It
will be enough for these Muslims to become 15-20 per cent of the
populations of the European countries to sow years of turbulence and
insecurity.

But al-Qaeda is not alone, other groups such as the Hezbollah, Islamic
Jihad, Hamas and Ansar al-Islam are part of this terror network. The
PLO (and the âPalestinianâ Authority) is a key player, too. Indeed,
the Arab terrorists worldwide, including those that attacked New York,
have learnt from the PLO how to use terror and learnt how to make
terror pay. The âPalestinianâ Arabs are the inventors of modern plane
hijacking and suicide bombings, which have served as an inspiration to
all the Muslim terrorists across the world.

The Arab states have more natural resources (including most of the
worldâs petroleum), landmass and population than the United States,
but remain stuck in the Mediaeval era, with high illiteracy rates,
poverty and unemployment. It is the Arabs who are the authors of their
own miseries and, until they accept this, they are doomed to remain
backward, choosing not to invest in education, science and shunning
the modern world. To be sure, in Saudi Arabia, 70% of the work force
are foreigners who are treated as third-class citizens. In the Gulf
State of Qatar, 400,000 of its 600,000 population are foreigners who
do all the jobs, from cleaning the streets to building bridges or
working as doctors. The Qataris, who are set to have the highest GDP
per capita by 2005, live off their massive oil wealth and donât see
fit to ever do a dayâs work. They channel their money to sow death and
destruction across the civilised world, while they continue their
decadent existence back home in the Gulf.

The Arab and Islamic world has chosen Israel and the United States as
the scapegoat for all their ills. The Arab satellite networks donate
90% of their coverage to the âPalestinianâ Arabs, as if all is fine
and dandy in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Algeria, etc.
Over 120,000 murdered by the Islamists in the 1990s in Algeria - no
big deal. 100,000 Black Christian slaves in Sudan - who cares? 250,000
Lebanese murdered by the PLO and the Syrians - no worries. Indeed, one
would think from watching Abu Dhabi TV or Al-Jazeera that the Arab
world is a perfect place, with no starving masses on the streets of
Cairo and the Maghreb.

The bombing of a residential complex in Saudi Arabia, the murder of 19
Italian troops in Baghdad and twin suicide bombings that murdered 23
innocents outside the two central synagogues of Istanbul, etc. are all
part of the Islamist campaign to sow chaos and disorder through terror
in the World.

There are answers to the scourge of Arab terrorism, but first the West
must acknowledge its existence and not to obfuscate and pretend it
doesnât exist. It must work for regime change in Saudi Arabia, Iran
and Syria.

Israel is the nation at the forefront of this battle and the world
must recognise that. Israel must act in her own interest and not
sacrifice her self-defence and deterrent power on the altar of
pleasing the international community. Israel must seek to dismantle
the Palestinian Authority, which is indeed the largest terrorist
organisation in the world. Arafat, Abu Ala, Abu Mazen and all the PLO
henchmen must be hunted down and eliminated. Arafat should be brought
to Jerusalem and his trial and execution shown on television across
the globe. The Islamo-fascists must be humiliated, for shame of defeat
is enough to destroy their morale.

The United States must take tough, harsh measures against the foreign,
mainly Syrian and Iranian, terrorists in Iraq and not be afraid to
hunt them down. They must stop fighting with their hands tied behind
their backs and similarly they must not ask Israel to appease the
Arabs anymore. False sensitivities must be discarded. For example, the
British claimed that it was impossible to attack the Arabs during
Ramadan. Why? Did the Arabs cease from bombing Saudi Arabia - their
Holy Land no less - on Ramadan? Did they not bomb synagogues on
Ramadan and on the Jewish Sabbath? In Iraq, were these religious
sensitivities respected when terrorists blew up the Najaf mosque,
killing 130, including respected cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir
al-Hakim, on Friday, the Muslim holy day?

The choice is clear, stand up and fight or allow the Islamo-fascists
to destroy the very foundations of Western Civilisation. The address
of these enemies is clear, too. It is in Damascus, Tehran and Riyadh.
Victory is possible, but only when the West begins to take the right
steps against these terrorist states.
