1. Finally some logic

2. a thinking Saudi
David Middlemiss ,   Rhode Island, USA   (08.16.05)
If this isn’t done, the coming days could be very eventful and their implications for the whole of humanity would be much more severe than those of the World War,” he concluded somberly These words could be prophetic. If they got their hands on one nuclear device, it would be bad enough, but say they set off multiple devices in the US? Or more than one country, simultaneously? In this context, don't the words "collective punishment" seem a tad hypocrytical?
3. More need to be brave like this man
Ahava ,   Israel   (08.16.05)
AND SPEAK OUT!!!! Thank you sir.
4. But will this article be published any where else?
Rafi Green ,   PT   (08.16.05)
I just wonder if this article will appear in any European newspapers or websites........ I doubt it.
5. Sharon & Bush Aid the Jihadists Through Reward
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ,US   (08.16.05)
Is Sharon listening to this Saudi al-Sheikh's advise while he EMPOWERS the PA/PLO/Hamas/Fatah et al with Jewish land as payback for their terror rampages?? What about Bush & Condi??
6. congratulations!
ozy ,   the deep south   (08.16.05)
to this intelligent and courgeous journalist.... words spoken the truth indeed.... may many in the moslem world take note and follow his footsteps.
7. Islam is the Solution
Osama ,   PALESTINE   (08.16.05)
Islam is the solution for all humanity problems and any one say something else let him go to the history trash
8. KEY QUESTION: WILL THE SHAHIDS GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL?
(08.16.05)
IF HE SAYS HEAVEN, DON'T TRUST HIM
9. poor man - his days are numbered
mike ,   usa   (08.16.05)
those who speak out against islam will be murdered. thiws is the main reason more muslims do not speak out. the so-called "moderate" muslims are being held hostage to their own terrorists in the name of their own religion. it's a shame that they kept silent for so long that now they have lost the will and ability to speak and stand up for what is right.
10. No need to get your panties wet
Cal ,   Brooklyn,NY   (08.16.05)
don't get too happy about this. Whenever Muslims say terroristm is bad they always include "except in Israel". How much you wanna bet this guy supports Hamas?
11. 7 - Islam is the problem
(08.16.05)
You Muslims fight among yourselves. How can you say Islam is the solution when you can't even solve things between yourselves (see Iraq, Iran, Kurds, Taliban, Hamas, to name a few). And if you don't like that, you can drink from the Gaza Sea.
12. He speaks the truth
Micha Sloman ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.16.05)
al-Sheikh sounds like a good journalist with the courage to speak the truth.
13. ISLAM IS THE SOLUTION
Osama ,   PALESINE   (08.16.05)
Islam is the solution, - Iraq are fighters for freedom, USA soon will escape. - Iran soon will have nukes, kick some butts - Taliban are kicking some butts now in afghanestan, war is not over - Hamas forced you to go the Hell out of Gaza and soon from jerusalem. if you don't like it drink the DEAD SEA
14. wow
cliff from montreal ,   canada   (08.16.05)
Looks like someone is finally taking responsibility and telling it like it is.It take a lot of courage to say what he said.I respect that. Quite unlike the nazi death cult troll in post #7
15. As a Muslium i agree 100% we'r not like ben laden
Yasmeen ,   Palestine-GAZA   (08.16.05)
16. osama - then why do you muslims fight EACH OTHER???
mike ,   usa   (08.16.05)
islam can't possibly be a solution to anything because you fight amongst yourselves - in iraq your sunnis are fighting your shias and kurds, to name but one example. first show the world how islam is the answer to ANYTHING (other than war, racism, and death) and you might be able to have a conversation on the subject of "solutions". until then, islam is the commonn denominator of the world's global problems.
17. To #4, I agree
Pieter ,   the Netherlands   (08.16.05)
This is not the message which most European news agencies like to hear.
18. LA YA SHIEKH
HAMDI ,   GAZA   (08.16.05)
WHOSE HANDS IN WATER NOT LIKE IN FIRE .COMEON HERE IN GAZA TO KNOW WHO IS THE NAZI ALEEK JEERA
19. No, Islam is not the solution
Gregg ,   Grain Valley, MO, US   (08.16.05)
Osama in Palestine, it is Islam that is sending itself to the trash heap, along with every other utopian ideology that claims or has claimed to be able to solve all the world's problems. Islam has not solved the problems in Islamic countries, in fact it has made them worse. What makes you think it can solve the world's problems? Theocratic governments have already been tried, and they have all failed. Liberal democracy and free market economics don't claim to be able to solve all the world's problems, but simple observation shows that people who live in liberal democratic, free-economy countries are freer, happier, and better off than people living under other systems. Democracy and capitalism have raised living standards higher than ever before in human history and allowed more people than ever before to live in freedom and dignity. So take your utopian Islamic fantasy and stuff it where Nazism, communism, fascism, Christian theocracy, monarchism, etc. have already gone.
20. In reply to #15, Yasmeen
Richard/Moshe ,   Washington DC   (08.17.05)
Yasmeen, I would be interested to hear more from you...do you mean that Hamas/Islamic Jihad/Hezbollah are not like Al Qaeda?
21. Where the hell is "Palestine?" In never-neverland!
Daisy ,   USA   (08.17.05)

22. Why do Arabs call themselves after a Roman word?
Daisy ,   USA   (08.17.05)
To steal Jewish land! http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/palestine.htm
23. To Yasmeen who lives in mythical "Palestine."
Daisy ,   USA   (08.17.05)
If most Muslims are not like bin laden then why is over 90% of the conflicts in this world involve Mulsims murdering non-Muslims? Islam is a religion of violence, murder and destruction. About as far away from God as you cab get. That is why Muslims are always so angry and miserable. You need God!
24. Bravo Al-Sheikh !
Mabrouk Boudaga ,   Dallas, TX-USA   (08.17.05)
Brave intellectuals like Al Sheikh are everywhere in the Arab world but they are not given freedom and opportunity to influence the silent majority...radical terrorists have no respect for the value of Human life that`s why they should be treated as criminals against Humanity (like Nazis).
25. no way
DakhilAllah.AL-Ghamd ,   ksa   (08.19.05)
noway he speake with mouthe full of lies,this is impossible
26. opinion from Saudi
Khalid ,   Saudi Arabia   (08.19.05)
Many people here in my country hate Zarqawi & Osama We believe in value (good value) About Israel Put your self as some one have home and other one come and take his home !! When you try to ask help from UN USA as power country come, use veto, and use his power to protect how take my home King Abdullah told you what you have to do bake to 1967 if you do that we will be your friend and we will make relationship with you
27. This man shows GREAT courage
Bill ,   Sacramento, CA USA   (08.19.05)
I very much admire this man's courage in telling it like it is. I hope he will survive the backlash that we all know will come his way. Now, if more Muslims had the courage to acknowledge the "bad apples" within their ranks, the world would be much better off.
28. Islam is NOT the solution
matthew borgan ,   USA   (08.19.05)
if the jihadists keep pressing, they will find that there will be no more playing by the rules and they will face absolute annihilation. And there is nothing that their false god will be able to do to help them. Israel needs to hold onto the land of promise. Let the "palestinians" go back to Syria where most of them came from.
29. disingenuous condemnations
Ben ,   Bellaire U.S.A.   (08.19.05)
Not only do they reserve support for terrorism against Israel, they never condemn the Koran's sanctification of Jihad, genocide & terrorism. It is all or nothing. Where Islam is concerned, I prefer nothing! Please visit www.protesting-islam.com and support our petitions!!
30. Radical Islamic Terror
Jared ,   Atlanta, GA US   (08.19.05)
Radical Islamic terror is a corruptive force which can bring about the wholesale destruction if Islam if it is not stopped. At present, the West, even after the 911, Madrid and London attacks, is not sufficiently unified and mobilized to respond convincingly to this threat because our cultures are complacent in our economic and political comfort as we were in the face of Hitler 66 years ago. But the US will become so if a major WMD attack takes place here. Radical Islamic terror takes comfort in its not having a "seat" such as the Vatican or Wall Street and therefore it believes it can operate with impugnity without a horrible response. But that is mistaken. There will come a day soon when the rhetoric out of the West will change from "The War On Terror" to "The War On Islamic Terror". When that inevitibly occurs, the rules of engagement will change. Where that has happened and the attacks inevitibly continue, the West will begin targeting major capitals--Teheran, Damascus in particular, major Islamic sites such as Mecca, Medina and physical assets such as the Al Aqsa mosque and the Kaaba (maybe in mid March) for annihilation, because this is the war philosophy of the West. Once that starts, the beauty and treasures if Islam will be systematically destroyed and the religeon fragmented. In the face of the deep corruption if Christianity, not just the selling of indulgences, but the wholesale slaughter of alleged "heretics", Martin Luther initiated a reformation with saved and stengthened the faith. This is what Islam needs now, possibly through Sufism or even backwash from the Druze. If Radical Islamic Terror is allowed to control the faith, it will, in the end, bring about its destruction.
