Saudi Arabia Tells Militants to Repent or Die

RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia warned Muslim militants they would share the fate of their slain leader unless they repented, as al Qaeda vowed renewed "holy war" in the kingdom.

Al Qaeda's leader in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, was shot dead by Saudi forces Friday along with three other prominent militants hours after they beheaded American hostage Paul Johnson, whose body has still not been found.

"We tell this deviant group and others that if they do not return to the right path, they will meet the same fate or worse," Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Abdullah said late Saturday.

"Security forces will deal with them, God willing, and with every aggressor inside or abroad," he added.

State television showed the bloodied corpses of the four militants, saying they had been behind a wave of violence against foreigners in the Gulf state, a key U.S. ally and the world's biggest oil exporter.

"The government is strong and will eradicate the enemy and cleanse the country of them," Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said. "God willing, we will be victorious."

The US must be putting serious pressure on the Saudi's. Comments like that just make the Royal family more a target for the militants to over throw.

I think the question to ask is if they actually said this in Arabic or rather for the benefit of the American media. If it is the former, I can only hope that they are beginning to take their terrorist problem seriously.

I'm sorry but I just don't believe any of this. I can't believe that this kingdom has no idea where these terrorists are. I can't believe that it can't control the religious leaders who ask to cleanse Arab lands of American filth. I simply can't.

When and if there is hard change on the ground, when and if I see all anti-American remarks removed from their edcuation, when and if I see real progress, I will start to care.

Otherwise I see them as a bunch of swine who've encouraged the mass slaughter or anything American, Christian, or Jewish and deserve the end befitting it.

Unhappy

Maybe a glass table top has come to mind, I know many of My Customers are saying it!

Some can never actually beleive anything no matter what.

So, my question is:

Why do people kill their own people to supposedly try to prove a point.

When do These People come to some form of realization about who is trying to help and who is not?
