One more culpritReader comment on item: Is Saudi Arabia Opening Up? Submitted by Ianus (Poland), Jan 6, 2011 at 08:06 Dear Sir Daniel M.J. Tobin ! Thank you very much for your sincere comment. I learned much from it. Yet , I am afraid that your wish : "how I would be honored and privileged to be the First American Patriot to perform for tens of thousands of respectful, responsible, pro-West, pro- American, Pro-Tolerance, Peace and Co-Existence concert attendants who may dance with all of their clothes on, modestly, in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on Greenwich Mean Time ideally, but on Mecca Mean Time if need be." will never come true. Islam by its very origin and nature is the religion of terror, hate, oppression and deception so "respectful, responsible, pro-West, pro-American , Pro-Tolerance, Peace and Co-Existence ...attandants" of Mahommetan faith are as likely to ever turn up to listen to you and dance to your music as troglodytes are to enjoy Bach. Your music would rather attract a mob of Saudi religion police officers and/or suicide bombers which is hardly - if I am not mistaken - the audience you would ever like to perform before , wouldn't you ? " Mecca and Medina may be considered Holy Cities, but so should Garden City,LI, NY, where my brother made his first communion with Michael Edwards (before they were murdered by War Criminals of Libya, Lockerbie, Scotland,1988, A.D. where Pan Am Flight#103 came down, and in The September 11,2001 Massacre by Al Qaeda operatives of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and possibly Pakistan or Afghanistan)." I am very sad that you lost your siblings as a result of Islam-inspired terrorism. I just knew one guy who lost a neighbour on 9/11. Anyway, to the enumerated vanguard of Moslem terror you might add also one more country that has so far avoided public attention it does deserve for its extensive criminal, terrorist and genocidal activities - Turkey. Few know that at least five 9/11 terrorists have been trained for jihad in Turkey . They were: Ahmed and Hamza al-Ghamdi who hijacked the plane that crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center; Saeed al-Ghamdi whose plane crashed in a Pennsylvanian field; and Nawaf al-Hazmi who died in the Pentagon crash as well as Majed Moqed, who also perished in the Pentagon crash, and Satam al-Suqami, who was in the first plane that hit the north tower. Well, before one embarks upon an ambition plan to train Moslem terrorists in a US-friendly country to murder and torture Russians or Serbs one should also consider the risk that essentially one would kill Americans by the same procedures if the country and/or the trained terrorists became less US-friends one day.
